Thanks Netgalley and Viz Media for a chance to read this title!

VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.

We're back again with the follow up to last year's volume 1 of the Manga reprints of the retelling of the 90's X-Men: The Animated Series tales. The seven issues in this volume take us through the end of season 1 of the show and the start of season 2.

The artwork this time relies even heavier on the manga styles of the time, taking the original source material and making it into something of its own. One of the issues reminds me a bit of the Astro Boy cartoons from the 60's, for example, and plays up the humor aspects quite a bit. Takes like this put a new spin on the old story lines.

Once more there are several pages in the back of bonus features. These include character profiles and detailed discussions about certain mutant powers.
