This wonderful little book (of about 44 pages) is designed for younger readers in the Level 4 – “Proficient” category. This is not a comic book, though it does contain a number of wonderful pictures. Instead, this book is about making comic books. It talks about the artists behind the comics, and how they go about designing and creating comics, the X-Men in particular.This is an interesting book. My eight-year-old son got this book, and enjoyed it, though I don’t believe that he understood everything in it. Overall, though, he did like the book. So, we do recommend this book.
Was exactly what it said it was, about creating the x-men, but it did not keep my sons attention enough. It is a easy read but he began to find it boring.
It always eluded me as to how the X-men were on and off a sizzling bestselling comic book for the past twenty years.So what fuels this book is actually curiousity.'Cause it was always a wonder to me what was it that made x-men so diferent than other comics.Well,i still don't see what makes this a phenomenal chart-scorcher,but it will be a bit useful for aspiring artists and writers trying to break into the comic field.
