40 Years of the X Men

With 40 Years Of X-Men DVD, you've got a full collection of every X-Men story published in the last four decades. Almost 500 issues of the classic X-Men comics are reproduced here, from the very first issue in 1963 to August 2005 — all in full color, from cover to cover. Explore a world where a small group of people are born with genes that give them super-powers. These "mutants" are hated and feared by humanity at large, and the X-Men come together to protect both mutants and human from prejudice and evil mutants alike. You'll get to follow their incredible adventures as they span four amazing decades.

5 Stars XMEN
Who'd a thunk you could sit down in the leisure of your own home, and read 40 years worth of comics, on your computer??? This set has reintroduced me to some childhood friends, and reminded me why I was (and still am) a fine.

4 Stars Watermarking…
Great value. I'm really glad there is a legitimate way of getting all the copies of xmen.

The only con is that every page is watermarked with the Marvel logo, and its not small. A 3rd of the page is covered in a the logo. It is transparent but it still takes away from the overall quality of the experiance. If you're and x-fan its not a deal breaker but it is still annoying.

5 Stars Great gift!
I bought this as part of an anniversary gift for my husband. He enjoyed comics as a kid and enjoys all the movies that have been made based on comics.

Well, he loves this. He spends time each night reading the comics- he's catching up on the more recent ones before going back to the comics from the past.

Great gift for the guy who is still a kid at heart.

5 Stars Good Start
I was totally satisfied with this product. The chances of being able to buy every single one of these comics to be able to read the entire story is virtually impossible or at the least financially prohibitive. The ability to reduce or enlarge the image lets you read a page, a panel, or what ever you like at one time. Now we need all the sister titles so we can see how all the cross title stories fleshed out. I didn't use the print option.

5 Stars Love it!!
I can't really say anything that hasn't been said already, good or bad, except a sincere Thank You!! to whoever it was that scanned all these books, the quality is fantastic, the issues are legit as opposed to reprints and the ad's really take me back - (sea monkeys - LOL)

I would highly recommend this to any fan or newbie - cheaper than buying back issues and save wear and tear on the ones you may already have. I am hoping that the 2nd X-men series will be scanned sometime soon, hopefully they will take the plunge and scan the other titles like New Mutants, X-Factor, Alpha Flight, etc..

That would be great -no more digging out old back issues to read and way more portable!
