crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

A mediocre silver-agey story about Monster Island. With a bit more focus on Armor, and less on Wolverine, Emma Frost, and Cyclops, this would have been a more interesting story. Unfortunately, we just get a sketch of what her family life is like, which makes the ending, which could have been dramatic and touching, just seem tacked on.
The art is fine. But if you're a comic book artist and you get a chance to draw giant monsters, Go For It, give us something new, or else a completely modern interpretatino of classig kaiju. The monsters in this volume just looked like the background monsters in any mediocre 1980s or 1990s comic.

This was pretty "lite" stuff compared to the rest of the series. I liked some of the art a lot, but plot wise there wasn't much to it. Kinda crazy that Armor can get all giant now, it's gonna make her much more of an asset.
The old comic at the end was fun, but the whole "Totalitarian Regime of Red China" and "Communist Tyranny" and "Freedom-loving traitors" was laid on a bit thick, but I get it for the time it was written.

Okay adventure story. Art was pretty bad. Characters weren't handled all that well. Again the use of Armor was somewhat interesting, somewhat inconsistent. The Fing Fang Foom backup story should have been awful with it's garish colors and old-style writing, but it was okay, readable. There just wasn't anything in the book really worth of note. 2.5 of 5.

Gah!, More monsters and cartoonish artwork right out of the Saturday morning '80s- Smurfs, Scooby Doo, and X-Men. And Fin Fang Foom??!! Keep that character sleeping for the Rest of eternity. Like #6, the best/only part of this graphic novel is the character Armor.

Not bad, still not as good as the first four in the series, but I really liked the Monster Island idea. And the monsters themselves were really cool. The art was only so-so for me in this volume - the facial expressions were a little hard for me to get past.

That was profoundly underwhelming. The summary sounds interesting and all but it just fails to pack any sort of punch.
