Average Rating:
 Rating:  - there are NO x-men hereThis is a BEAST story, where he goes around Marvel Universe failing, failing and failing more. And the story tries to end with a moral, which really doesn't work. I just bought it because I was thinking that it's important to understand Messiah Complex, but it isn't. Rating:  - Meh... Okay read that leaves you hoping there will be a stellar later crossover event that answers the questions in this TPB.The X-Men line hasn't exactly endeared itself to fans lately. Frankly, it's hard to find that many interesting mutant tales after the House of M storyline. Speaking of House of M, Endangered Species is somewhat of a follow-up to the Scarlett Witch's fatal decision to eliminate the world of mutants. In this tale that crosses over many of the popular mutant titles, Beast takes it upon himself to solve the enigma of the missing mutant gene. After attending a funeral of the death of one of the world's ... Read More Rating: - Ok, but not overly exciting.This is a good fixit job excellently executed. After the house of M story the millions of mutants were reduced to a few hundred, with all the others mysteriously depowered.

A character study of a character who too often gets relegated to "the brain of the group" and is simply written off as a scientist type. An especially intriguing part is seeing the other-dimensional variants of the Beast, particularly the one that turned to religion, and how this reflects on the character we're reading about. More ...

This 17-part series was originally released in eight-page segements across MARVEL's four major X-books (Uncanny X-men, X-factor, New X-men, and X-men). Thankfully, the publisher chose to spare readers any extra cost, because this was pretty useless. I have collected Mike Carey's run on X-men (now X-men: Legacy) thus far. This includes Endangered Species chapters 1, 5, 9, 13, 16 and 17. I have only read these parts of the story, and despite the gaps I didn't miss a thing. It felt as though ... Read More |
