Customer Reviews

Mostly for the series

I don't really remember enough about the books individually but I loved the series. I'm a BIG Gambit/Rogue fan, and there was one section in the third book I LOVED. But mostly I liked meeting some of the characters I rarely read about. The guy who's searching through time to find one where his wife lives. Or Spiderman and Bishop bonding (Now there's something odd!) I really liked the series, it said a lot about the not-so-common characters and their connection with the main characters.

Time's Arrow Trilogy

This trilogy was the first X-men or Spiderman literature I ever picked up, and it must have been pretty good to get me hooked on them. EVERYTHING was great, especially the characterization. I recommend these books to anyone just getting started on comics; in between telling a complete story, they manage to get in the back-stories of every main character, plus you see just about every minor character in the Marvel Universe in one way or another.

A must read for Marvel comics fans!!!!!!

The book was great. Even though it did drag on at times, they went to different parts of Marvel history and combined them with current, yet classic heroes like the X-Men and Spider-Man!!!!

great start!

This was a very effective book, from the cute Spider-Ham cameo to the anguish of the Black Knight when he has to free Morgan to Spidey driving Bishop up the wall. And I liked that Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy didn't speak English! (Well, they wouldn't.)

great conclusion to great trilogy!

While I was disappointed that we didn't have the Spidey/Bishop team-up of the first two books, I still loved Book 3 of Time's Arrow. It was great seeing the X-Men 1998 fighting the X-Men 2099, and I liked the way they worked in Gambit's personal history in the climactic scene. And I like this version of Spider-Girl even better than the MC2 version!
