A review by jayshay
Essential X-Men, Vol. 3 by Dave Cockrum, Chris Claremont

3.0

This is the X-men that I grew up with. Reading it now? Soap opera for boys (or at least this boy). Long before Smallville, Claremont had figured out teen-angst mixed with kicking butt. Surprised just how talky this stuff is today. And dude, I don't think Claremont can go a page without a thought-bubble, but that was the style of the time...
