X-Men: Volume Three (Marvel DVD Comic Book Collection)

It X-Men from the 85 to 90

I love the x men

I'll get this out of the way right away: This is the best season of this already amazing series. If you are a fan of animation than I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted, but if you don't know; this series of the X-Men is darn near perfect. In seasons 1 and 2 we are introduced to the X-Men through adaptations of their most famous story lines from the comics which do an amazing job of reformatting them while still staying true to the original stories.Season 3 tells the story of the Dark Phoenix saga, an epic story line that runs across the entire season and is inarguably the most famous of the X-Men story lines. It's hard to encapsulate the story in a short review...it starts with nightmares of a galactic invader and impending doom. The dreams come true and one of the X-Men, Jean Grey, is possessed and corrupted and nearly lost. Her possession brings nearly unlimited power, but also unlimited desire and soon the entity's dark-hungers threaten not only Jean's sanity, but the Earth and the entire Galaxy itself!A lot for a Saturday morning cartoon, right?But somehow this show pulled it off beautifully. If you only check out one season of the animated series, check out this one. Seriously, it's that good!

I am a child of the '90's, growing up in a time when television was in something of a golden age -- the action was kicking harder, the humor was getting funnier but was still fresh and clean, and landmark shows such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" were getting their starts. Among this age, FOX network created FOXkids!, a viewing block that aired in the afternoons after school let out and also on Saturday mornings. Within this time, "X-Men: The Animated Series" came into being.Dealing with large social issues such as prejudice and good vs. evil, "X-Men", like the comics the show was based on, wrapped these issues in fun packaging with "mutants" and "super powers." Going on to be one of the most successful cartoons in FOX's history, "X-Men" ran for a phenomenal five seasons. This is the first time that these beloved episodes are available in high-quality DVD format.Volume Three of this collection picks up where Volume Two left off -- the Phoenix Saga, one of the greatest of all comic book story arcs. Jean Grey joined with the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force and sacrificed her life to save the universe. Now, the Phoenix has been driven mad by Jean's humanity and her telepathic powers, helped by the mental manipulations of the sinister Inner Circle club, beginning the start of the epic Dark Phoenix Saga.Follow the X-Men as they fight for Jean Grey's soul, as Apocalypse rises and the battle not only evil but prejudice and social adversity time and time again. Featuring everyone's favorite comic characters (from Nightcrawler to Iceman to Archangel, to Cable and Apocalypse and Magneto), Volume Three will continue to delight fans of both comic and show.Although there are regrettably no special features, these DVD collections -- with a price tag of $15 a piece -- are well worth collecting as a shining example of a time when television was more than just reality shows and sexual humor; a time when the media was relevant.5 out of 5 stars.

I will say this, I'm very impressed by the quality of the DVD. I was expect a lot less from something so out dated. They converted the original 4x3 aspect ratio to 16x9 so it looks perfect on you new TV. Even though the show was not originally in HD the re-mastering still shows. The picture looks and sounds great for something that was released in the early 90's. I bought all the Volumes to get me hyped for the new X-Men movie. Since I receive my collection I've been watching non-stop. There are more episode than I remember, which is great because I don't think I had a chance to see them all when it was on TV. All the episodes are in order too, that's awesome because that was the biggest problems I had with the show when it was still on TV! If you're having a sense of nostalgia, I highly recommend getting this DVD. It brought back so many memories, and lets face facts, we all tried to be Wolverine while sliding three knives between our fingers as a kid. Even if you weren't around for the Animated Series but are a fan of the movies, it's good to see where the X-Men films stem from. It's also good to see what it is that's getting all the older generation so upset every time the movie go off course lol. To the parents out there, this show still holds up, it's not like it's in Black and White. I favored the show as a kid, and I still favor it as an adult (I consider myself a cool guy lol). I'm definitely introducing X-Men to my kids too.

Good series very entertaining and highly addictive themes it's just good

My earlier reviews comments were in error. This was a great volume an also a definite 4 stars. This volume, however, had greater storylines & short-comings. The Dark Phoenix Saga was both a huge triumph & an over dramatic short-coming. This saga had one of the most powerful creatures in Marvel history as well as X-men history, key battles between the X-men & Shiiar SF, but the drama took away from all of that probably because it is hard to make an animation as good as a comic. This volume did succeed in the Weapon X project & Apocalypse shorts with their only draw back being they were too short. Great overall volume with much more to offer than my current remarks but I rather leave some for the purchaser.

good quality videos. awesome cartoon

Me encanto x men !

Vraiment un coup de chance d'avoir trouvé cet intégrale (ici c'est le volume 3 mais je parle en général) tout simplement inédit dans notre pays.Je n'ai pas encore vérifié si c'est bel et bien une zone 1 ou une multi-zone car je l'ai regardé sur mon pc, mais une chose est sûr fan de X-men foncés les yeux fermés.La VF est bien présente et pour les haters de cette dernière, ils pourront se rattraper avec la VOSTFR.Envoie rapide et soigné, petit bémol sur le volume 4, il manquait le carton avec l'image en relief réfléchissante, sinon rien à dire.

One of the most iconic, memorable, best animated shows from the 90s, X-MEN! Loved reading the comic which inspired the show. Applause to the cast director of Xmen for choosing the voice actors for the show, perfect.

Dice que fue entregado, pero nunca llegó
