X-Treme X-Men #13 !!!

X-Treme X-Men #13 was the final issue of this run and rather disappointing since it was a middle comic of a larger story arc over a number of other X-Men related comic books.  The good guys do not win in the end it is just a cliff hanger to get you to buy a different comic book.  The transition was jarring from the end of last issue to this issue.  A lot of characters die or the aftermath of their death in another comic happened in this issue.  I am disappointed that the end of such a great comic book was treated so shabbily.  It was really the only good X-Men comic running right now.  I am so disappointed I am not going to track down the other issues to find out what happened or follow the story.  I did a little reading using online summaries and the story arc was rather disappointing and reviewed badly.  Sigh – one of the best versions of Wolverine and Hercules ever and they were wasted.

X-Treme X-Men #12

X-Treme X-Men #12 has yet another jump to a new location.  At the end of the last issue the good guys were confronting the three evil Xaviers.  Though now they are in an Egyptian world with the Xaviers in control with the good guys sneaking around looking for a victory.  There is a speech and a plan, the team attacks but opens a portal and while the side effect is the death of two of the evil Xaviers it appears they destroyed that world.  We also get a glimpse of the evil destruction on the other side and it looks like Sentinels again.  I was thinking Sentinels make sense in that in the past Sentinels have decided killing everyone is the only way to get rid of mutants some might have decided killing the universe was an even better plan.

X-Treme X-Men #11 !!!!!

X-Treme X-Men #11 was clever as the reader never really sure which villain the heroes were helping to end the fight.  The X-Treme X-Men were fighting to save the last of the humans on this current Nazi / Atlantean world.  Though the end splash page was and “conclusion” was a little disappointing as somehow the good guys missed a few of the evil Xaviers.

X-Treme X-Men #10

X-Treme X-Men #10 – This issue is mostly devoted to the back stories of some of the team, we already got Kurt’s (Nightcraler) backstory.  With this issue we get more backstory for the Scott “Cyclops” summers and his world and American Civil War with mutants.  Then we learn where James Howlett (Wolverine) and Hercules came from and why they knew each other.  Then we meet this worlds Namor and then a Nazi Xavier.  Unfortunately the team is in a confused state not knowing who to fight or trust.  Once again I think this could be very interesting.  As a student of alternative history it will be interesting to see how this all works out and well the team will have to kill Xavier even if he turns out to be a good guy.
