Uncanny X-Men (1963) #94-103
Comicsové legendy #06: X-men 1
Storm. Colossus. Cyclops. Jean Greyová. Nightcrawler. Wolverine.
Každý zvlášť nejsou nic - spolu ale tvoří ten nejslavnější superhrdinský tým světa. X-Men
Zatím sérii Comicsové legendy zabydlovali spíš jen vlci samotáři. Teprve teď dostanete konečně možnost sledovat život celého superhrdinského týmu. A to přímo od chvíle jeho zrodu, od chvíle, kdy jednotlivé členy oslovil podivný muž na kolečkovém křesle a nabídl jim práci. Nabídl jim bojovat a umírat za osud světa - za osud světa, který se jich bojí a který je nenávidí, protože jsou jiní.
Protože jsou mutanti.
Zbytek - to už je historie. Takže tady ji máte - v podání stavitelů mýtu Chrise Claremonta. A s ním přichází nejen dnes už kultovní hrdinové, ale i masivní padouši: Obří likvidátoři mutantů sentinelové, hrabě Nefaria, démoni ze zásvětí - a především nezastavitelný Juggernaut. A navíc se dozvíte, jak to ve skutečnosti bylo se s smrtí Jean Greyové...
Příběhy:
- Noví zrod (Second Genesis!)
- Smrtonosný plán (The Doomsmith Scenario!)
- Hon! (Warhunt)
- Noc démona! (Night of the Demon!)
- Můj bratr, můj nepřítel! (My Brother, My Enemy!)
- Veselé vánoce, X-Meni... (The Sentinels Have Returned!)

X-Men are in trouble, so Professor X goes all around the world to recruit new members for the team.
The idea and the characters they choose to bring in order to give new life to the franchise are nice, but the execution could be better.

The first issue here is obviously the definition of that much abused word seminal; it’s the beginning of the rise of the X-Men from a cancellation hell to the culture conquering modern force it is today. The first issue details that transition in a ‘Giant Size’ issue, Professor X putting a second team together to rescue his original X-Men. Quite wonderfully, there are a number of unexpected twists and turns to the story and it’s easy to imagine that elements of it were an influence on Lost. It’s a breathless ride with no narrative flab and told in the grandiose style of Marvel built on Stan Lee.
The problem is with the books that follow – you can perhaps make a case for the following couple of issues and the arrival of Phoenix as important to showing the team’s development, but the last couple of issues add very little. Given the almost soap opera nature of Chris Claremont’s X-Men run the ending feels randomly generated, added to give a feeling of value for money. But then this is the great peril of adding a ‘classic’ range – much of what you’ll get is forcing the square peg of ongoing monthly series into the round hole of a coherent, graphic novel length story. So this ends up as much of a strange hybrid as Count Nefaria’s assistants, some fine individual moments but not one which satisfies with a strong ongoing story. The only way you can take this as a remotely coherent piece is in watching the series develop, Claremont seeing what does and doesn’t work (character conflict clearly a strong point, oddly ill-fitting ideas like leprechauns clearly don’t. That said I’d love to see someone reinvent the leprechaun idea Grant Morrison style). Interesting as a snapshot of the start of the modern X-Men universe then, but as storylines in their own right, inessential.

Λίγο από όλα, γενικά βεβιασμένη πλοκή που προς το τέλος του τόμου αποκτά κάποιο ενδιαφέρον, αλλά συνολικά άνισο αποτέλεσμα, βέβαια αποτελεί βάση στο ιστορικό των xmen, όποτε για τους πιστούς θα φαντάζει σαν must read, για εμένα είναι όχι.

Dúvida entre 3 e 4, vou botar 4 por ser uma forma bem sucedida de introduzir os novos x-men. Começam as primeiras faíscas de interação entre personagens e o primeiro FASTBALL SPECIAL de todos é apresentado.

A very impressive start to the regenerated X-Men, giving us a lot of depth to the characters in a short space of time. It does involve some pretty hokey plots e.g. robot duplicates, leprecauns, so doesn't quite earn the 5th star but very close.

Důstojný začátek Cleremontovy éry. Některé dějové zvraty byly slabší, celkově však povedené.

Pomalý rozjezd, ale druhá půlka boží! Bohužel čtení kazil velmi amatérský překlad s množstvím chyb a špatným slohem. (Nemluvím o postavách s dialektem). A tak u české verze nemůžu dát 5*.

This was alright

The classic run which relaunched the X-Men and turned them into Marvel's leading icons still holds up well today.

Giant Size X-Men #1 is pretty cool but the rest is like the usual Marvel tropes and sometimes without making much sense.

It was ok, gave a good starting point for x men
Not my favourite at all, just not a fan of the 60-70 comic book style

Una buona storia con cui Chris Claremont, di fatto, rilancia gli X-Men, introducendo personaggi destinati a divenire iconici come ben pochi.

Should be 3.5 stars, but not 4.
I read these stories in the original comics and they made a lot more impact back then. Overall, I think the introduction of the new team was done a little too quickly (it was done to revive the series and still fit in with the current storyline). Later, when things started to settle down and we started to see more of the background of the new team members it became a lot better, in my opinion.
Not great, but it's good to have.

This is a good introduction to the Claremont era. It establishes the group dynamics pretty well and introduces enough to keep each member interesting. I am still adjusting to the less modern style of comics that read quite a bit slower, but these feel well-paced and enjoyable. It's setting up arcs for the whole run well, and it feels like there's a good amount of enjoyable foreshadowing going on! I'm excited to dive in more!!

A classic tale with rich characters and a whole shake up to the X-Men universe. Tempers and egos flare as the new members must learn to work together.
A really good arc that gives us good banter between wolverine, colossus and banshee as they seem to argue, mainly due to wolverine giving them 'pet' nicknames.
Lots of action, lots of drama it's what you'd expect from the team and more so.

Un estilo muy diferente al moderno; me atreví porque este año volví a conectar con la narrativa gráfica y el amor que en la infancia tenía por los X-Men... y no me ha decepcionado. Eso sí, no es para todo, e incluso argüiría que requiere de un ojo avezado en la lectura de cómics y cierto cariño hacia los personajes para disfrutarse a plenitud.

Don't get me wrong I love the X-Men but comics from this era are just too hokey...This was just ok.

Gems include "Deadly Genesis!", the death of Thunderbird, the Phoenix Saga, & the debut of Cassidy Keep.
