I was not fully prepared for what was in store when I started to read x-men. It was basically a soap opera in book form, with a hint of 7th heaven. I hated ever second I spent reading this book, and while I am probably being very dramatic when I say hate, I just could not get through it. There was so much narrative that I wanted to pull out my hair every time I was informed that someone was running. I KNOW THEY ARE RUNNING I CAN SEE THE PICTURE. There was a point in the story where I just stopped reading the book and just looked at the pictures. Even though I didn't know what they were saying to each other I still got the gist of the story. It just amazed me that the author thought 11 year olds could read this, I mean bing a sophomore in college I had trouble with the wording at times. Using big words doesn't make the comic any better.
I also hated how I was just thrown into this story knowing nothing about the characters and there background. I have seen all three x-men movies which did help me to identify most of the characters and who they were, but some of the time I was just plain confused. I was just not happy with this book at all, and it really has turned me away from other x-men comics.
