Collects X-Men '92 Infinite Comics #1-8.
Revisit a blue-and-golden age for the X-Men in Battleworld's most animated realm! The '90s-era team is as uncanny as ever: Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit and — yes! — Jubilee. And when the Clear Mountain Project purports to offer evil mutants a chance at rehabilitation, it's up to the X-Men to investigate! As things go wrong, they'll face some of their decade's fiercest foes, like Cyber and Omega Red — but who on Battleworld is the Shadow Queen?! With the X-Men in deep trouble, will anyone step up to save the domain of Westchester from a future of fear and hatred? How about an X-Force '92 lineup featuring Cable, Deadpool, Domino, Psylocke, Archangel and Bishop? Could this totally tubular tale be any more '90s?

Cassandra Nova is forcibly rehabbing the good looking X-Men,
while caging the visibly mutated ones.
Nostalgia only counts for so much and in case it seems to be one issue. I don't particularly enjoy how they are messing with the 90s X-Men series. It hasn't been much fun.
2.5 out of 5 stars
Merged review:
The X-Men have defeated all their adversaries and are enjoying some well earned down time as a team.
They learn from Baron Kelly about a treatment facility for Evil Mutants and at Professor Xavier's urging they head out to ensure it's doing what it claims.
X-Men '92 perfectly captures the feel and dialogue of my all time favorite comic book based cartoon, X-Men. It also being a Secret Wars miniseries adds in aspects of being a Battleworld by having a familiar character, Senator Kelly, being made Baron Kelly by Doom.
It was a fun nostalgic moment, that reminded me that all the main series characters talked a lot, but I still enjoyed it.
X-Men '92 #1 is a must read for any fan of the '90s X-Men cartoon.
Merged review:
X-Men '92 Warzones returns readers to the beloved 90s X-Men cartoon in a Secret Wars fashion.
I thought I would like this more since I loved the 90s X-Men cartoon. It played in the nostalgia of the cartoon which I enjoyed.
Unfortunately for some reason the writer thought the story needed to be goofier which really frustrated me. I'm not a huge fan of goofy comedy in general, but them making my childhood silly made me mad.
The story is a bit overly complex and revealing any of what happened would simply give away too much.
X-Men '92 Warzones is worth checking out for anyone who enjoyed the 90s cartoon unfortunately it doesn't live up to the show's high standard.

The 90's era X-Men cartoon gets its own battle zone in Secret Wars.
The Good: It was a fantastic idea to revisit the X-Men cartoon as part of Secret Wars
The Bad: This just didn't click with me. The jokes fell flat. There was WAY too much exposition and the story really wasn't there.
The Ugly: Secret Wars in general. Only a handful of these spinoffs out of the 50 or so created are even worth reading.

(read as single issues) haha, this was so weird and delightful??? a super nostalgia bomb for an avid fan of the 90s animated series. also, it made really fun use of the Guided View on Comixology--I'd be interested to see how that carries over into the print edition?

A parody of everything that was wrong with 90s X-men and an homage to everything that was right. This was just delightful. I HIGHLY recommend going digital on this one, it is made specifically for that.

This was, by far, the biggest disappointment of Secret Wars for me. I was so excited when I saw this book. I loved the 90s X-Men series. In fact, it's what got me into comics in the first place. So I was super excited at the prospect of a miniseries based on the first version of the team that I loved. Unfortunately, that wasn't all that it was. For whatever reason, Bowers also decided to make this a parody of 90s X-books in general. And as that, it's kind of messy, throwing in everything from Cable to Apocalypse mostly just because. It's built around a story that's weak and honestly doesn't make much sense. The villain's motive is sanitizing the world. Because... I don't even know why, it's just a thing she does. It doesn't feel like something the villain would do, in any sense, and it serves as an excuse for Bowers to insert some half-baked psychoanalyzing of some of the most psychoanalyzed characters in comics. This isn't what I signed up for, and I'm disappointed.

A marvelous read that sucks the reader in and doesn't let them go easily. There is another force out there trying to 'tame' the 'bad' mutants. taking out the aggression and replacing it with a flower power feel.
recommended for those into graphic novels, x-men, superpowers, mutants, right vs. wrong/good vs. bad.

Fans of the '90s cartoon looking for a feel-good, easy-listening nostalgia trip will probably be disappointed, because this is actually a satire of the X-Men in the '90s, and a rather marvelous one.
Sims & Bowers do a great job of bracketing the era. There are reminders of the '80s while elements from the '00s like Cassandra Nova, the New X-Men, and the mega-Sentinel hang over the team like a Damocles' Sword. It's a rather effective clash of eras.
Meanwhile, the authors also do a great job of mish-mashing together numerous elements of the '90s — from X-Factor to X-Force to the Next Generation — and often presenting them in the funniest light possible. You really can't do much better than Onslaught with a sword and big gun!
I'm not convinced that this can really be maintained in an ongoing storyline, but I might give it a try.

Having just spent the past few months reading all the X-Universe titles from the mid-80's through to just past the Age of Apocalypse the world of X-Men '92 is very fresh in my mind.
This books seems more of an adaption of the television cartoon than any of the actual X-Men comic books from 1992. I'd even go as far to say I don't think the author even bothered to read the X-U comics of the period. The artwork further backs up this argument. The comics of that period were never this cartoony.
The final results are fairly entertaining and enjoyable even if there's some pacing troubles and at times the script seems a bit under baked, over written and over stuffed. The appearance of X-Force brightens the whole affair. And we end with a promise of an interesting sequel.

After bingeing on the first 3 seasons of the 1990's X-men animated series I decided to get back into comics. I stumbled across a comic book store trying to find a bathroom because it was an emergency, and didn't want to be rude, so I decided to purchase something from their store. I found this comic in their clearance bin, and it was a great impulse buy.
The comic was very true to the X-men TAS characters and the plot was excellent. Sure it was very corny, and cheesy, but I feel that that's what made the comic so good. The whole Secret Wars tie-in was kind of confusing because I haven't had any exposure to that event, but overall the story was still understandable!.
I'll definitely read the next volume in the near future when I'm done with my other comics I got for Christmas!

So much nostalgia! <3 This made my heart so happy. I've been collecting the individual '92 comics since they've been been released and haven't had a chance to read them. When I saw the trade copy of them I had to buy it immediately. These are the good days of the X-men. I can appreciate the movies and some of the storylines (ultimate X-men, hell yes), but this era will always be my favorite. It captured the personalities I loved so much from the cartoon and 90's comics and trading cards. I love this series.
December 11, 2016
These days there is a lot of nostalgia for things people never even experienced. I admit I was baffled by this at first. Maybe I missed out on something, or maybe I forgot how good it was.
Well the best thing I can say is that they DID do a good job bringing back the 90's flavor, the thing is, ... I suddenly remembered that I hated much of the 90's stuff. lol.
So this was not for me, what with the long boring explanatory narration and melodramatic flavor.
I couldn't finish it. sorry.

I especially liked the part where Wolverine's hatred of Scott caused him to snap out of the pacifist trance he was in.

This was a very fun read!
It perfectly captured the 90s feel of the X-men cartoon and comics while also tongue-in-cheek poking fun at them in an admirable way.
Having grown-up during the over-the-top era of 90s X-Men, this was a great nostalgia piece that still felt new and never took itself too seriously. Inserting some of the more modern aspects was also done well in order to flesh out some themes much more.
The artwork matched the zany cartoony-ness of '92, too. It was so much fun to revisit these very particular portrayals of these characters contrasted by their current counterparts.
I will definitely be checking out more of the '92 volumes!

The story was good but I hated the design. Like just show me the page all at once. Don't just add another panel for 3 - 7 pages till I have the whole page together.
It's a nice stylistic device if you do it once or twice but the whole comic was like this. No wonder every issue had about 70 pages.

February 23, 2017Lengthy expository dialogue! Pouches! The focused totality of over-repeated catchphrases! Superfluous footnotes! If you picked this up cold, it would probably just seem to be a terrible comic, and I’m sure I missed plenty of the gags myself, this not really being my era. But I can still recognise a marvellous pisstake of the tail-end of the X-Men’s supposed golden age. Really big guns! Shocking cliffhangers with bullshit resolutions! Maggott! It’s simply too, too extreme.

I was pretty excited for the X-Men '92 series. The art looks awesome - the covers especially! - and is a great callback to the classic animated series but with a little more fluidity, and given the current state of the X-Men roster: half the team dead and the other half time-displaced, going back to a familiar period with the characters we know and love doing what they do best seemed like it could have no catches.
... but there's a catch. The story here is... not great. In an alternate reality as part of the Battleworld/Secret Wars event (of which based on this I have no desire to read the rest of), the X-Men are the heroes of Westchester, and upon examining Cassandra Nova's new mutant rehabilitation facility find that all is not as it seems. There are certainly some fun moments here but for the most part the plot seems half-assed and confusing. Major reveals occur and I find myself flipping back a couple pages to see if maybe I missed something. I didn't, the writing is just that shaky. Still: three stars for awesome art, plus we got to see the X-Men team up with X-Force. There are a few fun bits but the overall leaves something to be desired.

I never watched much of the cartoon growing up in the 90s, but I'm almost certain those who relished in it and loved it will totally get a fun nostalgic kick out of this series. Retro vibes, funny dialogue, a bit campy at times, and just generally a fun romp that completely honors and brings back the feel of 90s comics and cartoons. I didn't get all the nods, winks and references to the cartoon, but looking into it, I know I would've been stoked if I was into the classic show. The issues bored me at times because I felt they started to drag on, and I couldn't wait for them to end (I guess I'm too used to contemporary comics). But generally a fun romp with the whole Secret Wars backdrop constantly reminding you of what's at stake in the bigger picture, as well as all the other stories happening at the same time. The cover art is absolutely amazing though!

The 90's X-Men cartoon was my afterschool babysitter as a kid, so this hit me right in the nostalgia bone, and I loved it! It pokes fun at the excesses of '90's cartoons, but the writers obviously love these characters. I'm really enjoying how Battleworld is sort of a rules-free alternate universe that can create really interesting situations and combinations of characters. Contains bonus Deadpool!

Read digitally in single issues which I would really recommend, there's some real fun stuff in the transitions and just the general reading experience.
If you grew up on the x-men cartoons I would whole heartedly recommend this series to you, its a funny clever nostalgic great time.

I was really excited for this book, and maybe my expectations where what ruined it for me. I would have preferred a story that included Magneto as the villain and Magneto or Prof X as Baron.

I literally SCREAMED when I saw this on the shelves. The 90s team of X-Men are my favourite; they're sassy, badass, and just plain awesome.

Sometimes it's just good to see familiar faces wearing familiar duds again.
Story's a bit bonkers, but par for the course for anything New Secret Wars has done so far.

A light-hearted homage to X-Men's detailed history through the lens of the 90's TV show.
X-Men '92, Vol. 0: Warzones! is first and foremost a nostalgia trip. The relationships are pretty much the same as appeared in the cartoon, including Wolverine butting heads with Cyclops over Jean Grey, Rogue and Gambit flirting relentlessly and Jubilee being the spirited teenage rebel. The Westchester setting is used prominently and Sentinels have their place in the storyline even if Magneto and the Evil Mutants don't.
The plot comes from The Clear Mountain Project, an institute for the rehabilitation of errant mutant behaviour, as led by Cassandra Nova who has more than a passing resemblance to Professor X though a notably enigmatic mission. One by one, she diagnoses and treats the X-Men accordingly.
This relatively short comic packs in a large cast of characters which makes the pages busier than I like. Also I felt like I had missed some substantial retconning through the Secret Wars crossover event, which I don't really care to follow up on. I would have liked to soak in the general nostalgia but the aforementioned issues prevented me from doing this.
Still I enjoyed Koblish's illustration, which evoked the old animation style while also adding in new dimension and elements that didn't appear in the TV show. I feel Bowers and Sims did their best writing while Cassandra Nova was in the Mental Zone. Her analyses of each of the heroes were particularly interesting.
While I can't say I grasped the full story, I did enjoy the joviality of this rather innocent interpretation of the X-Men. If you're a fan of the TV show and have also kept up with the comics since then, I can recommend X-Men '92, Vol. 0: Warzones!

The SECRET WARS sequel where Doctor Doom rebuilt the Multiverse as his own personal fiefdom was home to some interesting variants. Sadly, I think this would have been better as an unrelated continuation as things like "Baron Kelly" are just confusing. However, I was a huge fan of the 92 version of the X-men and so gladly picked this up.
The short version of Cassandra Nova is re-imagined for the Animated X-men and given a personality lift. Instead of being the omnicidal dead sister of Xavier, she's actually his female clone created by Apocalypse that gets possessed by the Shadow King. It's sad how insane Cassandra Nova's origin has to be that this is an IMPROVEMENT of continuity. What benefits the book, though, is how HILARIOUS the character is.
Basically, the writers make her a stand-in for the moral majority and doesn't want Wolverine to have knives, Gambit and Rogue to have sexual tension, and so on. It's awesome the way she plays an old church lady with psychic powers and the book is great as she tries to brainwash them all. We also get a really good art introduction of many other characters the series never got to do. I especially like "Classic Psylocke."

This was my era. The colorful costumes, the X-Men cartoon. I must not be the only one who remembers this fondly, if Marvel went and created this book.
I've complained a lot about new books not providing enough context to be approachable for new readers. This book is the opposite. There's soooo much exposition. A new reader could turn to almost any page in this collection and be brought up to speed.
In the section of Battleworld called Westchester, humans and mutants have found peaceful coexistence. But there is an ominous undercurrent to the rehabilitation center called Clear Mountain.
This is incredibly wordy, which is an intenional satire of the era. And each issue is 30 pages long. So they seem to go on forever.
Cameos abound. My favorite is Cable with his Rob-Liefeld-style widow's peak.
Good satire should poke fun at the source material with out making it look completely ridiculous, and I think this achieves that. But I wonder what the reading experience would be like for readers younger than me. (I guess I'll find out when I get to the Korvac Saga.)

I grew up reading the X-men in the 90s so when I heard of the Battleworlds tie in, I couldn't wait to get to it eventually. The only downside that I could see is that - lets just say I'm not the biggest Chris Sims fan. But still, sounded good and decided to give it a shot.
And Im happy to say that this was a very entertaining book! It has that classic feel that the old books used to have. It starts off as a typical type of carefree attitude type story, but gradually increases in tension until the villain is revealed.
I appreciated that the writers integrated newer aspects of the Xmen mythos, such as Cassandra Nova, Onslaught, etc... into the 90's style. And the art goes well with the tone of the book.
I like the story, I like the small but non essential references to the overall Secret Wars event, and I appreciated the art.
Recommended to anyone who liked the Xmen in the 90's and who still enjoy them since them.

3.5 stars! This 4-issue miniseries is packed with 90s X-Men style and some great goofs. The goofs are mostly referential to the era, so the jokes may not land if you didn’t read the comics/watch the cartoon/read the Pizza Hut mini-comics/play with the action figures/etc. (all of which are referenced, and all of which I did). This series is explicitly fun and style-over-substance, so I wasn’t expecting any revolutionary character moments or story, which was good because the breakneck pace plows through like Wolverine through a Sentinel. But there are some clever conceits that organically bring in X-Force, some classic villains, cameos by even MORE classic villains, and opportunities for the character voices/team dynamics that made this era so over-the-top and fun. This book won’t change your life, but if you were a fan of this era it’s extremely fun and VERY worth reading.
