Synopsis

The X-Men are often Earth's last defense against villains and mad-men...and the future's only hope.

The evidence they present is startling: their ships are manned by Homo sapiens, supposedly descendants of human beings who served the Kh'thon on Earth countless millennia ago, and their will is enforced by the Exemplar, humans augmented with a dizzying array of powers, each the match of any one of the X-Men. The Kh'thon claim that they are responsible for the creation of the x-gene, devised so that they could breed whatever traits or abilities they required of their servants. And now they've returned to take back what they believe is rightfully theirs: the planet Earth, and everyone living on it. It is up to Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, and the rest of the X-Men—working in conjunction with Scott Summers, currently a member of X-Force—to find a way to repel the Kh'thon before humans and mutants alike are enslaved by alien masters....

Goodreads review by Alejandro on December 13, 2016

Outstanding story!!! This is a graphic novel in the sense that it’s not a TPB collecting comic book issues previously published separately but it has been always published as a whole book. Also, this particular edition includes sketches by Neal Adams who was intended to be the original illustrato......more

Treasure of the Rubbermaids 11: Generation X The on-going discoveries of priceless books and comics found in a stack of Rubbermaid containers previously stored and forgotten at my parent’s house and untouched for almost 20 years. Thanks to my father dumping them back on me, I now spend my spare time......more

Goodreads review by Sophia on April 25, 2021

As weird as this may sound, I was excited to read this story! I've heard many things and wanted to experience it first-hand. Reading this in 2020 and seeing how many parallels there are between the story and our own world was a little disheartening. I probably can’t say much else that hasn’t already......more

Goodreads review by Ｆｒａｎｋｈ on March 27, 2015

This is the comic book that inspired some of the important elements featured in the groundwork for the arguably best X-Men film from the first trilogy franchise, X2. This is why reading God Loves, Man Kills will certainly be recognizable to a reader who has seen the said film adaptation first. With......more
