A rolicking fun ride, I really enjoyed this series as the culmination of a lot of major Marvel plotlines from over the last ten years or so. Were there some weak parts? Sure. But with a story of this size and scope, that can be forgiven since the action is literally combustable and the story is filled with characters we all know and love doing the things we know and love them to do. Without giving any spoilers, I will say that - remembering Jean Grey's encounter with the Phoenix Force - some (most... all...) of the battles didn't go the way the sheer power of that entity would have you believe, but this is a comic book - the good guys have to win, so I guess I can forgive that. I also think the entire story would have been better served if it was just a little shorter - there were a few too many repetitive passages that had already been set up in previous 'rounds' of the battle, but other than that, this is a great collection for any fanboy (or girl) who just wants to have a good time.

Started off a little slow but once I got into it, I found it amazing and IMPOSSIBLE to put down. The story gets incredibly engaging and manages to showcases all the characters.

I like the concept. This story had some of my favorite comic writers behind it. I think a few good points were made. Overall, however, the story was messy and multiple people felt wildly OOC to have me really enjoy.
