Wolverine and the X-Men Series Review...  

So I just finished watching season 1's final episode of Wolverine and the X-Men. This show is fucking awesome! From beginning to end this show can't seem to find a way to disappoint. Granted it follows its own continuity but trust me you'll like it.

I myself am a huge fan of the Fox X-Men animated series but I have to admit this show gives it one hell of a run for its money. Had the Fox series not been such a staple of my childhood I may have had to even give this one the edge. It just has so many, "oh shit! no way!" moments.





We are constantly shown fan favorite characters through out the season that will make most X-Fans flip their wigs. Here are some of the characters:

• All pictured in the accompanying image
• Hellfire Club
• Archangel/Angel
• Blink
• Apocalypse
• New X-Men galore
• Mr. Sinister
• Sentinels
• Marauders
• Polaris
• Quicksilver
• Scarlet Witch
• Marrow
• Bishop
• Vanisher
• Domino
  

Honestly just to many too list.

The season focuses on Xavier disappearing and turning up in the future. While this honestly seems very much like a Zordon and the Power Rangers relationship, with Xavier's body living in a tube in stasis and using floating head talking to communicate, it is pretty cool. The other two main plots are finding Jean who also vanished as well as the looming threat of the Sentinels and government backed mutant roundups.

As the season progresses though the gears shift in crazy ways that no one will see coming and everyone will enjoy. The show twists constantly and turns viewers on their heads as new characters come in and out and new menaces rear their heads. The last episode itself is a huge twist. The very end of the episode should have all X-Men fans who have been enjoying the books since at least the mid 90's shitting their pants in anticipation of the next season. I know I was and still am.

So check this show out if you haven't already and let me know what you all think. I promise you won't be let down by this animated masterpiece.
