Magneto, master of magnetism. The bitterest of enemies for years. But now they must join forces against a new adversary who threatens them all and the entire world besides... in the name of God. One of Chris Claremont's most powerful and influential stories, the partial basis for 'X-Men 2,' is reprinted here for the first time in years. Collects Marvel Graphic Novel #5: God Loves, Man Kills. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Boring I bought this book because I heard it's one of the best stories ever in comic book history and boy was I disappointed. This seems like a great buy given that it is one story in one book by itself. But the best story ever? Hardly. I do not understand why something is so great just because it deals with the bible or has religious overtones. Basically a religious fanatic believes mutants are not God's creatures since they were never mentioned in the bible and because of something that happened ...

It's one of the first comic book graphic novel, so it won't leave you unsatisfied, with any unanswer questions like some collections. Plus the story is the partial basis for X2 (my favorite X men movie). Also the art work and imagary is extremly powerful and moving. God Loves, Man Kills is probably the most effective storyline about mankind fearing mutants. Many have come since, but in my mind none have been as realistic. ... Read More Rating: - Classic Material Too many of the newer X-Books deal too heavily with time travel & alternate futures and a lot of BS. This book, written before all of 'those' story lines is the staple of what Stan Lee & Jack Kirby set out to do since day one. The overall theme was that mutants are human too. There is a dialog between the African-American dancer instructor Stevie Hunter & the youngster X-Men Kitty Pryde that hits home so hard that it made me cheer and cry at the same time. If you're ... Read More Rating: - Great Storyline. Great Behind the scenes! "Good Loves" tells a great story even if you've seen x-men 2. The story has it's own time and place while still having parallels to the film. The thing that surprised me a little was the art. It's not something I would call natural beauty. That being said it does have something to offer. Be sure to read the "making of" stuff at the end of the book. That's where I found most of my appreciation for the art and learned a bit about what it was like to make a graphic novel back then. Rating: - Possibly Claremont's best during the golden age of X-Men stories There was a time when Chris Claremont could do no wrong during his legendary run on X-Men, and this is a prime example. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills finds Professor Xavier and his team (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Kitty Pryde) beseiged by William Stryker: a religious zealot who believes that mutants are created by the devil himself. What really helps God Loves, Man Kills take off even more, is that Claremont humanizes Stryker to a point, as we the reader see his point of view ...
