![]() ![]() ![]() At this point, one of the X-men has died and the remainig X-Men have disbanded and are now scattered into small groups. Gary Friedrich takes over the writing duties for issues #44-#47. Frankly, reading these issues, it is no wonder that the X-Men was one of Marvel's least popular titles. Thomas' run is repetetive and dull the art by Werner Roth and/or Don Heck is functional but hardly note-worthy. Some of the X-Men silliest foes re-appear here, like the Blob and Unus. These are standalone stories culminating in a multi-issue finale featuring a nefarious band of villains called "Factor Three". Issues #32 - #43 are written by Roy Thomas and are hardly noteworthy. The contents however are a bit of a mixed bag. The omnibus is beautiful, reprinting these 50 year old comics in glorious oversized color pages in a well bound hardcover book. This second X-Men omnibus collects issues #32 through #66 (including The Avengers #53, Ka-Zar #2 and #3 and Marvel Tales #30) of the original X-men comic. ![]()
