X-Men: Legends #3

You should have picked up this issue by now. It is sooo darn good. I love what Marvel is doing with the X-Men. Paying homage to writing legends and allowing them to close certain plotlines while pushing the mythos forward is genius. I would love for Marvel to continue doing this. The X-Men have been consistently inconsistent for so long, that this could be a long-term series. Bringing the Simonson's back into the X-Fold was a brilliant move. I 100% recommend this issue and this entire series. We are revisiting the stories that make Marvel's Merry Mutant"marvelous! Read Full Review

X-Men Legends #3 is a fun ride filled with nostalgic beats and it sets up an interesting fourth issue for fans of the originalX-Factorseries. Read Full Review

This issue brings us to the great X-Factor run of the 1980s and leaves me with fond nostalgic memories. Read Full Review

X-Men Legends #3 is nostalgia for its own sake, a nice callback for fans of this particular era but inessential reading otherwise. Read Full Review

This addition to the lore of X-Factor doesn't appear to serve a clear purpose, even for readers familiar with this era. Read Full Review

This feels like it was pulled straight from the Simonson's X-Factor run, which I must give this book a credit for. Story wise, this is fun, even if feels like it's quite fillerish (though technically this is the premise of the whole series).

Ship turns against X-Factor as its mysterious origin suddenly comes into play. Apocalypse watches and sends a freshly-upgraded robo-Hodge to further bedevil the team. The retro storytelling sure is retro -- to a degree I found annoying. But it succeeded in sparking my interest in the Ship mystery, so I've got something to look forward to in the next issue. The character portrayals were solid, too -- a little more so in the words than the art.

This was preeetty boring. I don't remember any of the context for this story. All I can really say is that it reminds me a whole lot of the DC comics event, Legends. That's not a great thing to be compared to, mind you.
