This was a fun read!I can't believe I am saying it but I love Mojo after this?! He is a crazy villain alright but wow this story made me a fan and in the right ways I mean. It starts pretty much with spires falling and the X-Men team going to check on them but when the team gets transported to weird dimensions and we find out where they really are, it becomes a bonkers of a story as the team has to go through various simulations of past X-Men stories like Days of future past, Fall of mutants, mu...
3.5I love how everyone gets all snarky at Magneto when he fights all out. Polaris is all like 'You're enjoying this aren't you?'
It took 12 issues but we have our first crossover of the 2 current X-books. There's nothing you haven't seen before, but a Mojo appearance is always a lot of fun. Mojo is making the X-men relive their past as he throws all their greatest hits against them. Sadly, too many X-Men die early on so you know they are going to reappear later. Whoever decided to give Rachel Summers and Jean Grey the same haircut should be shot. It was really difficult to tell who was who at times, especially when they p...
X-Men crossovers used to mean something; here, it means 6 issues running around punching Mojo-bots. Taking a shot every time someone mentions Jean and Scott's psychic rapport might make this bearable.
Just about two stars to yet another passionless inane Mojo story... here's one villain I wished they'd let just fade away! It's the first real Team Gold and Blue team up, but will they be enough to stop Mojo's invasion of New York?
Mojo's Tour through X-Men HistoryCollecting:----X-Men Gold #13-15----X-Men Blue #13-15This crossover episode picks up where X-Men Gold Vol. 2: Evil Empires and X-Men Blue Vol. 2: Toil and Trouble left off. The time-displaced young X-Men and the veteran X-Men are caught up in Mojo's insane attempt to take over the world.Mojo's plot pits the X-Men against "classic" foes in a series of scenarios that takes readers on a retrospective tour of the all the "greatest hits" of X-Men history. This playlis...
I’ve never been a real big of Mojo, so perhaps I went into this with low expectations. I was actually surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this, though, with the X-Men divided into various teams and stuck in Mojo’s simulations as they fight to survive and relive the various Big Event milestones of the past. We get riffs on X-Tiction Agenda, Mutant Massacre, AvX, and the like. It ends up being pretty enjoyable, and being a crossover between X-Men Gold and Cullen Bunn’s X-Men Blue, the crews
Are you tired of the multiverse? Sick of character clones, blatant rip-offs or alternative versions from another timeline? Getting event fatigue? Then get ready for... oops, sorry guys, its gonna be more of that, this time on steroids and member berries.
(Read only the X-Men Blue issues)
3.5 StarsI've never been a huge fan of X-Men villain Mojo, and while this didn't make me a fan, it still was one of the better Mojo stories. Mojo invades the X-Men's dimension and splits the team up, putting them through various scenarios based on past X-Men storylines such as Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Days of Future Past etc. This storyline doesn't seem to have much long term consequences as things seem pretty much the same when it was over as it was before, although some informatio...
You remember Mojo? You know, the bloated would-be TV mogul from another dimension you never cared for? Well, you didn't ask for him but he's back.So he manages to catch Gold and Blue in his latest production to increase his ratings.And... Cut!That's about it. Not abysmally bad this book certainly ain't good in any way either. Merely insignificant. No real stakes- every on-screen death is exactly that and we all know it-, heavy-handed critic of Hollywood, self-conscious dialogues- sometimes fun,
goofy and fun! Down with overly complicated stressful crossovers, up with ridiculous reality television AU crossovers.
Bah.
Are you ready for a crossover yet? No? Well too bad, because Marvel loves their crossovers more than a crackhead loves crack. Also, I get that X-Men Gold is trying to recapture the magic of classic X-Men stories, but to literally make them relive their most famous battles (in their classic costumes, no less) is just lazy. What's worse is that this book is pretty pointless. There are no stakes and nothing super interesting even happens (except for a lot of pew-pew and punch punch). You might as w...
Six issues of a Mojo story, which is at least five issues too many. I'm also sincerely unsure as to why this is labeled as an X-Men: Gold collection when half the issues are X-Men: Blue.
Ah Mojo.... this psychotic obese cyborg alien from his own dimension... when he shows his face, it means two things: Team-up and old stuff. This Volume delivers both of those!Gold and Blue teams of X-Men join together for a team building friendly game of baseball in Central Park. Can there ever be a time when the teams get together to hang out and nothing happens but a relaxing day of peace? Nope... Suddenly, plinth-like antennas start descending from the sky and Mojovision makes itself known to...
What a complete and utter mess. Why they feel the need to continuously rely on timeline bending, alternate reality, crossover, etc. X-Men storylines is beyond me as they just don't work most of the time. The story is all over the place, the art isn't exactly a treat for the eyes, and there are simply too many characters packed in for any of them to actually feel significant. Oh, and not to mention the fact that I couldn't even tell who was who sometimes... One of the most boring and pointless ar...
It was an action-packed story. Good art. Anything else was quite forgettable and a bit hard to follow, since the story didn't have a focus and we had waaaaaaaay too many mutants hanging around.X-Men Gold was trying to hard to recapture the glory of old days, but you know what happens when someone tries something way too hard...
[Read as single issues]You didn't ask for it, but he's back! Mojo's here, and he's going to unite the X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue teams in a battle for their lives against their greatest hits!There are some things this book does very, very well. It's one of the few Marvel Legacy books that's embraced the legacy of the teams in more than just a perfunctory sense, and throwing the X-Men through the biggest events of the past 50 years is clever. It also has some pretty big revelations between the two...
Perhaps I just don't care for Cullen Bunn's sensibilities as I have tended not to like his work with the Spiderverse either, but while it is interesting to see Mojo again and dynamics of the history of the X-men are explored, the stakes are so high that it becomes clear the stakes are actually quite low. What do I mean: so many key characters die early on and one realizes that they can't be gone. The combination of X-men Gold and X-men Blue are interesting, the new Generation X makes an unnecess...
