Okay

[Edward Creter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like Meet The X-Men, this book has all the "facts" about the X-Men, their powers, and the school where they feel unity amongst people like themselves. In a way, the X-Men are like us as Christians. "The world will hate you because you are mine," as Jesus said it best. I think we can learn from that as we enjoy X-Men comics and movies. The X-Men are, truly, all of us who struggle with misunderstanding from the world and that is part of the X-Charm!
