James DeSantis's Reviews > X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills

I just couldn't really get into this much. I get what it's going for, and I know how important it is to talk about racism and address it, but this just didn't work for me. Maybe it's a product of its time but it felt very...hamfisted? Best way I can probably describe it.

It starts off interesting enough. Watching two innocent mutants, who happen to be black, gun downed by the extreme religious pieces of shit ran by Stryker. When there's an attack on the X-Men, the X-men and Magneto actually team up for a bit to take down the evil. This is kind of, and I really mean KIND OF, a blueprint for X2 but I think X2 is way better.

Good: The themes and the start are solid.

Bad: Everything else.

I know people LOVE this story but this didn't do ANYTHING for me. A 1.5 out of 5.
