 Amazing, Great place to start May 26, 2006

Not only can you start from the beginning but you can see the evolution of the X-Men. Why Wolverine and Cyclops are always at each other's throat, why the original X-Men are different from the current, how Phoenix's powers emerged, how Professor X loss the use of his legs, power changes, huge plotlines and twists, etc.
Also, I own a Mac and have no problem using the DVD.
THE GOOD:
Over 485 issues with all pages and in full color. To purchase these, even in TPB format would be hundreds of dollars.
THE BAD:
No crossover issues. Plus, reading them on screen is not that much fun unless you have a notebook. I'm printing them out and it's A LOT of paper.
VERDICT:
The good by far outweighs the bad if you are a true X-Men fan or want to start from the beginning.
A Collector's Dream May 22, 2006

I collected X-Men back in the 70's and 80's, and always loved the original team the best. My collection is now socked safely away from children and dogs and whatnot, but I can now enjoy every issue in prestine mint wherever I find myself, even take the whole kit and kaboodle on the road. A previous reviewer was frustrated at Mac OS X not being able to detect his DVD. He may want to get a replacement disk, because I can vouch personally that the DVD runs perfectly on my Mac portable.
Trick: How to Make These "Readable" March 22, 2009

Here's one way to customize your PDF browser so you can actually read these things. Using Adobe Reader 8. Even if you just do steps 1,2 and 5 it can really help.
1. Go to VIEW>Reading Mode
2. Go to VIEW>TOOLBARS>Hide Toolbars
3. Go to EDIT>Preferences
-Under Full Screen Setup uncheck "Fill Screen With One Page at a Time" and unceck "Current Document only"
-Under Full Screen Navigation uncheck "Left click to go forward one page; right click to go back one page" and CHECK "Show Navigation Bar"
4. Click OK
5. Go to VIE>ZOOM>Zoom Too...
6. Zooom to 150% and continue to increase your zoom untill one page fills your screen. Mine is at 190% all monitors are different.
7. Go to Full Screen Mode
>>>Finished
In Full Screen Mode you can now easily pan threw the comic one page at a time using your mouse and turn the pages using your Navigation Bar. a transition can be added to make it appear as though the pages were really turning. try it. and goodluck
Great gift! October 21, 2007

I bought this as part of an anniversary gift for my husband. He enjoyed comics as a kid and enjoys all the movies that have been made based on comics.
Well, he loves this. He spends time each night reading the comics- he's catching up on the more recent ones before going back to the comics from the past.
Great gift for the guy who is still a kid at heart. :)
Unbeatable value! June 14, 2007

If you're a serious fan...you probably own all of the comic books and graphic novels anyway, so don't bother. If you're a casual fan, and never had the dough as a kid to buy comics, this is your scene! I've had this collection and I'm still not through all of the comics.
Some of the details which users will need to know: 1) There are DOZENS of X-men titles, this collection includes only Uncanny X-men, so if this is your only collection, you'll find yourself wondering what happened in parallel issues which are referred to in these comics. 2) The resolution of the entire collection is incredible, regardless of monitor size. I like to hit CTRL-L, which blows the image up to wide-screen. Perfectly sized for a wide-screen laptop. 3) All original advertisements are included, which I found charming. Imagine, weight-GAIN ads for teenage female readers! 4) Images are printable, but each image contains two pages, and when printed, they include a watermark which mars the pictures (to discourage you from copying and selling the comics, I suppose). 5) The entire contents of the DVD can be copied to your hard-drive, so you don't have to constantly lug around the disc in case the impulse to read a comic hits you.
Overall, a terrific buy, not disappointed in the least.
