X-Men: God Love, Man Kills-Extended Cut #1 is a new look at one of the most influential, important X-Men stories. Readers looking to get into the X-Men will want to pick this issue up, as it's a perfect distillation of why these heroes continue to endure-especially in these times. Read Full Review
While the original graphic novel certainly holds up, the new framing sequence in this extended cut will quickly be forgotten. Read Full Review
It’s written in a style that I don’t care for, and I don’t love the art either, but I know both of those are products of their time and so I cannot judge too harshly. It’s a good story though!
This story remains as important as it has always been. Issue two will be even moreso. I don’t think there is much to say about the original story. Everyone has read that. I will say, the Extended Cut’s additions don’t amount to much outside of the supplemental materials. You’re not getting a ton of extra story content… Just what looks like a new framing device to house the story inside of, which is honestly for the best, since I don’t think the story itself should be changed whatsoever.
