X-men: The End - Men & X-men - Book 3 - #6 Marvel

This is a cool book for anyone who loves the X-men. Basically, over the course of the last 3 chapters, this being the third, Chris Claremont is telling the story of the end of the X-men. It's set an unknown number of years in the future. And, I guess, is supposed to be the story that eventually will wrap up the entire X-men continuity. So therefore it's only fitting that's it being done by Chris Claremont. Which I'm sure is by his design also. So far we've seen Magneto die. And in this story, Cassandra Nova and Xavier meld into one with the Phoenix along with some of the remaining X-men including Jean Grey, Madelyn Pryor and Scott Summers. Plus there's also lots of other X-men and Super Guardians that are wiped out. During this story Kitty Pryde is elected Mayor of Chicago, but at the end of the story, 20 years later, she is now the President and in giving a speech the only X-men I see left in the crowd is Wolverine, Bishop & his family, Nightcrawler & his family, Bobby Drake, Beast, Raven Darkholme and a couple more. But, that's about it. This, I believe is the end of the story. Although at the bottom of the last page it says, "the Beginning". But I don't believe there's going to be another installment of this set. Now, the problem is, with all X-men continuity, you don't ever know until later whether this continuity takes place in our timeline or not. And as far as that goes, they could say it's the ending for our X-men now, but then later something happens that changes our timeline then it's not our ending anymore. I know. Very complicated. But to most of us that's what we love about this group, sorry, family. Although some could say it's a cheap way out. Which it is. But if it's been done 20 times before, what's 21? But that being said, I do like this story. You get to see an aspect of these characters that we might not necessarily see in a regular X-men story. Plus it's a big climactic, end of the world story, which is where the X-men are best. I also did like Sean Chen's artwork. Unless you're a diehard fan I wouldn't worry to much about running out and getting the rest of the series because I'm sure it'll be out in Trade Paperback format within 2 months. But it is worth reading in some form or another.
