New x men childhood end megaupload

May 16, Christopher Mclean rated it liked it. A decent "filler" type volume that didn't live up to the previous few books. I enjoyed getting some more time with Mercury, who has previously always been in the background, and there can never be too much X Overall there wasn't enough here to make this a stand-out but it was a nice break between major arcs.

May 11, Judith Groen rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this story, it had the right amount of excitement and suspension.

It was fast paced and had a good story. It made me very curious to the backfround of X, and I am probably going to read it now. Sad it's almost over Feb 06, C rated it really liked it Shelves: merry-marvel-mutant-mayhem. I am still really enjoying this series. Good action with steady character development and some fantastic character moments.

I will say that I miss the New Mutants characters being mentors to these kids, but they are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with nonetheless. Feb 09, Rohail rated it really liked it. I liked the focus on X in this volume, the plot also had time to breathe and there was no senseless Stryker character. These poor children are growing up in the worst way possible.

Loved it. Feb 06, luna rated it it was amazing. Jul 06, Jeff Harris rated it it was ok Shelves: x-men , graphic-novels. Craig Kyle continues the writing and Paco Medina's polished pencils are also present once more in this latest installment of New X-Men. The focus is predominantly on X and Mercury, who are both targeted by a set of mysterious and nefarious assailants who are after one of the girls' abilities for a sinister project and no, it's not related to MISTER Sinister.

Honestly, I preferred the previous storylines, especially the Nimrod arc, better than this one, but I do like that Mercury gets a litt Craig Kyle continues the writing and Paco Medina's polished pencils are also present once more in this latest installment of New X-Men. Honestly, I preferred the previous storylines, especially the Nimrod arc, better than this one, but I do like that Mercury gets a little more attention, even if she is really put through the wringer in this storyline.

Medina's art is still spectacular, but the creepy plot just isn't my preference, especially when the young X-Men-in-training have already had to deal with so many grave threats and horrible tragedies, one after the other. Can't this group just get a little break? Jul 26, Ernest rated it liked it.

I personally would have preferred a more compact story, but this nicely fits into the larger universe. Shelves: graphic-novels. This series continues to excel and its willingness to be brutal at the appropriate moments yields well deserved catharsis as well as meaningful commentary on the world we live in and the pains in coming of age in it.

Here's hoping it will continue and that as its main characters graduate to the core X-Men team new young students are introduced eager to be the best they can be for mutant-kind.

Jan 02, J. Solid enough, but not quite as good as the previous volumes. Pretty standard. Apr 27, Daniel rated it it was amazing. Very enjoyable, and I love Rockslide. His dialogue is some of the best I've seen in a long time. So funny. Aug 08, saskia rated it really liked it Shelves: comics May 03, Steven rated it it was amazing. One of my favorite story arcs in the series.

May 02, Ryan rated it liked it Shelves: justok. Mediocre effort compared to other similar titles that I have recently read. Medina's art is also a little less polished than usual. Feb 04, Patrick rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Some pacing issues, but X-school books are just such a good set-up. Plus unexpected Kitty awesomeness is always welcome. Mar 14, Angela rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels , marvel. X23's past catches up with her and harms her friends in the process.

A good story with some very nice character moments, especially with Emma Frost. Liz rated it really liked it Dec 30, Other Editions 1. Friend Reviews. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up.

Aug 20, James DeSantis rated it really liked it. So after reviewing each volume individually I just wanted to place this all in one review here for the series. This is a darker X-Men series than you might expect. These kids go through hell and almost die, some do, in very screwed up ways. It shows hate crime in all it's bloody ways, and it shows how hopeless the world can feel sometimes.

With a large cast of kids Craig is able to give a good showcase for almost everyone. Some get some deep backstory that was needed to flush out the characters So after reviewing each volume individually I just wanted to place this all in one review here for the series. Some get some deep backstory that was needed to flush out the characters and by the end it feels like a complete team. Still, if you haven't read this, I do highly suggest atleast giving it a whirl.

It's a easy 3. Hopefully one day we get a similar series like this! Jul 07, Judah Radd rated it it was amazing Shelves: marvel-comics. Maaaan this is awesome. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost are about to fuck them up. Some are going to die. Some are going to get their asses kicked.

Some will become murderers. Oh, and they all get to meet X Real quick: Ok, so the first 4 issues of this volume are tie-ins that take place in the House of M alt universe. I skipped them. The rest of this story is epic.

You really get to see these kids get a cold rush of reality. By the end, they have truly become X-Men, and the book really sells it. Awesome art, high stakes, pulse pounding action Feb 17, Ronan The Librarian rated it really liked it. Kyle, are you ok? These kids go through absolute hell, and experience pains no one should have to, things that will scar them forever. But he makes you feel for them and feel their pain, and their wins feel that much bigger because of it.

The only time that comes at a detriment is a couple of moments where the situation feels unfair to an unbelievable point. A relatively minor gripe that happens a few times. One such person is Emma Frost, who I can often find reluctantly respectable, but here I hated.

As a result of M-Day , when most of the mutant population became depowered, only 27 of the students at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning still retained their powers. The student reactions to this event varied from horror to glee. Emma Frost disbanded all the former training squads and formed a new team of elite New X-Men trainees.

To select the students that would be included in the team, she organized a battle royale in the Danger Room between the remaining students. However, Gentle , Blindfold , Ernst , and Wallflower were excluded from the battle, but X who had just taken up residency at the X-Mansion was included. During this time, Rev. William Stryker approached a conflicted Icarus. Claiming the M-Day was a miracle from God, Stryker was able to convince Jay to have his wings amputated.

Stryker was trying to find trances off Apocalypse 's Technorganic strain, and knowing it was in a winged mutant he targeted Icarus. After the surgery Icarus was left bleeding on the steps of the X-Mansion. Days passed by until it was decided that all the human students and staff would be expelled.

Before this official expulsion, students voluntarily left the school including Wind Dancer , Wither, and Aero. For their safety, the former mutant students was secreted out of the X-Mansion under the cover of darkness and through the abandoned Morlock Tunnels to an awaiting bus on the grounds of the Institute.

Unfortunately, Stryker discovered the X-Men 's plan and launched a missile to blow up the bus, killing 42 students on board including Tag , DJ , Rubbermaid , Dryad , Spector , and Network. Soon after the attack, the X-Men held a memorial service and funerals specially for fifteen students whose families refused to accept them even in death.

Prodigy , who also lost his powers, wasn't killed in the attack and Cyclops fearing another attack, he was asked and allowed to stay at the Mansion. Meanwhile, Jay bide Sooraya farewell and left to confront Stryker, only to be confronted by Stryker's true plan and Nimrod.

X dressed is Dust's in abaya and, after being shot and healing, ambushed the Purifiers. Believing that Dust, his final obstacle, to be dead, Stryker launched his assault on the Xavier's Institute. The battle ended with Dust recovering in time to attack, X returning from Stryker's church and Elixir killing Stryker. Elixir was left with metallic black skin and in a catatonic state due to the strain of his powers.

Soon after the attack, the X-Men were visited by Ms. They then received a distress call from Forge. With the X-Men away on a mission, the New X-Men were the only ones available to hear and respond to Forge's distress signal.

After being shot down by Nimrod, the New X-Men engaged him in battle. Surge, Mercury and X briefly designated "Talon" accomplished this and managed to send Nimrod back in time. However, in the ensuing fight The lower level of Eagle Plaza was blown up, Rockslide's body was destroyed and X was almost killed.

Hellion was able to reform Rockslide's body, but because his original body was destroyed his new body was reformed out of larger more rugged appearance. Because X was severely injured, Hellion used his telekinesis to fly them back to Elixir in the X-Mansion.

To get her there in time to save her, Hellion telepathically asked Emma Frost to push his powers to their fullest. This caused him to increase his flight speed to above Mach-5 and even allowed him to destroy a Sentinel by flying through it. Hellion then forced Elixir to snap out of his catatonia to heal X and then collapsed to the floor.

In the following days, Hellion slept copiously recovering from his exertion. Mercury received a call from Wither, who had been living in Mutant Town , and she disclosed the truth about Laurie's death. Wither then fell into a depressive state which was exploited by Selene , who had been posing as an old woman and living with Wither.

Selene seduced him and convinced him to use his power for its true purpose: killing. Later a memorial was held to honor all the X-Men and students who perished specifically those killed in the bombed bus, Wallflower, Icarus and Quill. Hellion was no longer in control of his powers after they were "unlocked" and even the smallest use caused a major effect.

Elixir told Beast about his desire to learn about the human body in order to gain greater control over his abilities. Mercury became angry when she discovered that Emma had been tormenting X and took Laura off the grounds where X revealed that she knew that Mercury no longer needed food for sustenance. Mercury found out that Laura was interested in Hellion. They were interrupted when an assassin named Kimura attacked them and blew up the coffee house that they were meeting in.

Mercury was taken hostage and tortured by scientists who wanted to find a way to use her living mercury body as skin for Predator X.
