The most frustrating thing about the four X-Men stories in this set was the way they were originally released. You’d watch Gifted, the story of a doctor discovering a controversial ‘mutant cure.’ You’d be thrilled at the story, written by Josh Whedon, and blown away by the art work from John Cassaday. Then you’d be stuck for months waiting for the next chapter in the story of The Astonishing X-Men to hit stores. Now you can get the whole set – Gifted, Dangerous, Torn and Unstoppable – and watch them they way they should be watched, back-to-back on the biggest television screen you can find. If you already have the original releases, you may want to check this out, if only for the special features. If you don’t know about them or didn’t watch them because of the motion comic animation style the stories are told with, then give it a chance. The visuals fit perfectly with the story and the voice acting is top notch. It’s a real treat.
