Order came very quickly, before expected time period, and in condition promised. They appear to be new and I will be looking for them from now on!.

Must have for X-fans. This is the second installment (of 3) of the final story of the X-Men, how it all is going to end. Titled "Heroes and Martyrs" for a reason, it does carry a sense of finality, as did the first book in the series. Well written, and includes references to some old stories that you may have to know in order to fully grasp what is happening. Don't make this your first X-purchase.

I love the X-men and somehow missed this gem along the way. I have to say though, I am really big into the awesome story as well as the art and this story at times isn't cohesive

The second volume of Chris Claremont’s “X-Men: The End” continues the epic feel of the first as the longtime X-Men writer tries to offer an ending to that team’s story. Claremont does a far better job in this second volume than he did in the first. The plot begins to come together and there is a little more focus here as characters exit the stage and the various subplots begin to tie together. Claremont is also able to shine a lot on a few key characters even as others are ushered off the stage. There are more than a few touching scenes as leading characters offer their final bows. Claremont’s usual ticks are on display and there a few times longtime readers will roll their eyes. Despite that, this is a solid outing. The art team, with Sean Chen in charge, helps out considerably. This is a rushed epic to be sure and there are a few scenes and points that can be quibbled but, overall, this is a fine X-Men story. Recommended.

The first part of the X-Men: The End trilogy, "Dreamers and Demons", was difficult to follow but baited the hook. In this second installment much of the confusion generated by the first is (thankfully) cleared up, and the artwork proves to be more consistently of a higher quality.
Synopsis: The X-Mansion has been reduced to a several-mile wide crater and the body count of our mutant heroes racks up, but in light of this catastrophe the X-Men regroup with a burning glint of vengeance in their eyes. The War-Skrulls press their hit-and-run terrorist strikes on Earth while the Brood sew the seeds of death in the far reaches of the Shi'ar Empire. The connection between Sinister and Gambit unfolds in its ultimate entirety, culminating in a brilliant battle between Sinister and his minions against Rogue, Gambit and a cadre of X-Men that alone makes this a necessary addition to any X-Men acolyte's library.
Pros: The massive scope of the story line comes together much more cohesively than in volume one and the art is much cleaner, harkening to the glory-days of Jim Lee. Any fan of Marvel sci-fi will appreciate the myriad of extraterrestrial elements aligned against the X-Men (personally I am very much enjoying the concept of Lilandra as a devious, mentally unhinged despot). The finale given to Gambit, Sinister, Rogue and family is simply marvelous, and although I have always thought Rogue was cool, none of these three interested me much but their story here is an instant classic. This is by far the best X-Men writing Claremont has done since he returned to the X-universe.
Cons: The biggest problem with the series might be accidental, but still an affront to any X-Men reader who had their interest in the franchise renewed recently with "New X-Men" and "Astonishing X-Men". It seems Claremont is "playing favorites" with the characters and previous story-lines; the highly successful stories penned by Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon seem to have never happened where as more recent (and severely less acclaimed) story-lines crafted by Claremont are given too much importance or consideration in a trilogy that has obvious spatial constraints.

There's a phenomena of `rubber necking' - slowing down to see a car wreck. X-Men Heroes and Martyrs isn't a car wreck, it's a multi-car pile up. While it's worth slowing down to view this book, it's a painful process at best. Let me explain.
** The Storyline: With Xavier's mansion destroyed in X-Men- The End: Demons and Dreamers most of the children, teachers, and former X-Men are dead. Only a small handful survive into this book. It's hard to see so many favorite characters dead, or to imagine the carnage.
** The Characters- This graphic still manages to have more characters than Youngblood. Yes, X-Continuity is full of rich, diverse, interesting characters, but by trying to give each character their own moment, almost no one has a chance to really shine. With few exceptions, the characters are in and out, without contributing much. The exception is Gambit but I'll talk about him later.
** The Loop Hole- There are lots of loopholes in this graphic. Most of them I can't discuss because it would give away spoilers. However, one I can discuss, is where are the new mutants? This book takes place years in the future, yet, with the exception of a few offspring of original characters there are no new faces. Where are the original characters in the 10 years since we last saw this group? Where?
** The Good- There were a few great moments, most notably a very cool origin for Gambit. Gambit and Rogue's children interacting with Cyclops and White Queen's children was too much fun. These things alone made the book worth checking out.
** The Overall View- X-Men fans might enjoy this, but even they need to get ready for a continuity headache. Also, this book is only part of a series. Demons and Dreamers comes out first, and soon, The Stars My Destination (vol. 3 of X-Men, the End) will begin. Without the framework of the other books, this doesn't do well as a stand alone book.
Recommended to X-Men fans and Gambit admirers. Not recommended to comic book newcomers.
