A big battle with Magneto that shows some real imagination with some super Byrne art. A good issue

Claremont is really starting to hit his stride here, the plotting isn't rushed, the fights happen organically & there are laughs & revelations aplenty. Byrne meanwhile seems to have honed things to a fine art. Great issue

We're on a run here, another good issue. Some laughs & some good moments. Wolverine/Cyclops is getting a bit stale but the rest of the characters are really starting to get fleshed out

Not bad at all. Plenty of character moments, a few laughs, a few shocks & a fight that doesn't take up the whole issue or feel forced. Good stuff

Some dumb stuff with an alien guardian saved by the majesty of John Byrne joining the team & the last half dealing with Phoenix in the crystal.

Yawn. Another long battle & the fate of the universe or indeed everything is at stake again. Nice that they paused things for a few minutes while Lilandra could provide her back story. The introduction of the Starjammers is intriguing

The Phoenix stuff is key & the character moments of the x-men on holiday are nice but it descends into moustache-twirling fisticuffs at the end. Oh & the latest vehicle the x-men are in gets trashed (a real tradition)

Best part of this one is the Storm background, coulda done with more of that & less fisticuffs. A few other character moments & a coupla revelations mark this out as an above average issue

A very strange issue what with the leprechauns & all that. I never realised Juggernaut was so strong/unstoppable. Another lengthy fight & we're done

Another vehicle the x-men are travelling in gets trashed - wouldn't want to be their insurance company :-). Magneto spends an awful lot of time blustering about how powerful he is (mind you do do a fair fee if the x-men).

Some interesting revelations in this one & some good character moments & some impressive sequences with Phoenix. Gotta love Jeans' mum & dad

Pretty much one long fight from beginning to end gets a little tiresome after a while. The continued sniping from Wolverine does make you wonder why he sticks around. Nice to see the old C-Men turn up in their baggy costumes (why didn't they fit?)
