X-Men Milestones: Fatal Attractions

This was supposed to be a brand new copy. It looks to me that I paid full price for something that was preowned! However, the story overall is outstanding. I would give a definite 5 stars if not for the torn corner that is pictured.

I remember reading this a few years after it originally came out. Its really interesting to see how many things were actually set up with this crossover. Editorially, I think the crossover had some weak connections at times but as a story, its really good. A Magneto story at heart, there is a ton to unpack here. The Charles/Erik relationship is always intriguing and its on full display here. What happens to Wolverine is what this story is most remembered for, and that's understandable, but what happens with Colossus is more heartbreaking. I wished there were the storyline was pushed forward more. More Acolyte defections, more impactful injuries for Wolverine, and more heroes reacting to Magneto's actions. The art was very 90s throughout (meaning I loved it). Overall, a very complicated X-Men tale that is both the reason people love or hate the team. I love them.

Great story about the revenge of Magneto and how he almost destroyed the X-men, specially Wolverine and Cable. A beautiful epitome of the early 1990s in its best! Shocking, moving and full of everlast consequences in the life of the Children of the Atom.
