New X-Men (2001)
New X-Men, Vol. 3: New Worlds
His name is Charles Xavier … and he is a mutant.
For years, Professor X was widely regarded as an authority on genetic mutation, and an advocate of peaceful relations between man and mutant. The general public was unaware he possessed superhuman powers until the psionically empowered Cassandra Nova — his twin sister — addresses the global media while in possession of her brother's body and broke the decades-long silence. But in attempting to expose Xavier to his enemies, she unwittingly freed him from his self-imposed exile.

But in attempting to expose Xavier to his enemies, she unwittingly freed him from his self-imposed exile.
From the teeming city streets of New York's Mutant Town to the irradiated ruins of the island nation of Genosha, once a haven for mutants, the X-Men set off to heal the rift between humanity and Homo Superior — only to discover a terrifying new threat from a new species!

Very interesting continuation of Grant Morrison's X-Men, in that the Cassandra Nova saga ended and after that Grant could just explore this crazy universe. The countercultural element is awesome as usual, and all the edgy sex and drugs jokes mostly still work. A flaw might be how much the soap opera element of Scott and Jean and Emma is dragged out--like Scott whines a lot vaguely and it's a relief when he finally just begins the psychic affair already. There are many mutant cameos in this volume, unlike the others before that only had the core group and new student characters. Another interesting element introduced is Fantomex, a French gentleman thief type who begins the next Weapons Plus saga of the middle third in the grand arc of the New X-Men.

Well this is a busy volume but Morrison keeps it interesting. We see post-apocalyptic Genosha. There's the fascinating Weapon Plus Program storyline. Apparently Wolverine wasn't the only experiment. The Phoenix is rising. Beast is dealing with his sexuality. And Emma Frost is now Scott Summers' sex therapist. Yes you read that right.
I'm not letting the artwork bother me as much but it's still inconsistent, because the characters go from ugly buck-toothed monsters to tight leathery models issue to issue. That's my only gripe.

Overall I again really enjoyed this volume. There's an intriguing new storyline about the Weapon Plus program, and I loved the Genosha issue, which made me a bit emotional. I also loved seeing Storm and Polaris who are two of my favorites!
I didn't like that Emma was narrowed down to sexy and alluring, and the art again was inconsistent.

Very disappointing in comparison to the earlier entries. Where the story was able to carry the terrible art in previous issues, it's just not good enough this time around. The characters that were great before don't feel as fleshed out here, and the new additions fail to leave a proper mark. Perhaps a two rating is overly harsh, but when the bar is set so high, the fall is made even more apparent.

Everyone says that New X-men by Morrison is AMAZING and the best x-men run ever. In vol 1 and 2 i wasn't blown away (special vol2... a little bit boring for me :s) but now i can see what is so special about "new x-men". In vol.3 we have a lot of great things every issue. Finally we have a book about everything i like about the x-men: breaking hearth stories, team adventures, jean grey with professor X amazing moments, emma frost badass as always, Fantomex, "the weapon" storyline, a little bit of wolverine at the end and A LOT OF AMAZING CHARACTERS!!!
For me this is defiantly a 5 stars book, it was an extraordinary experience reading this. Tho i think there are a lot of references and connections with previously x-men runs (witch is not good for me :s ).

Multiple artists with different artstyles ranging from disastrous to decent, completely destroy the flow of the story where new characters and elements get added into X-Men mythos.

New Worlds was rather interesting. Grant Morrison's take on the X-Men is certainly different. Xavier, who can now walk, founds the X-Corporation, a global organization meant to provide support to "civilian" mutant populations.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a new weapon that has been created to take out Mutants and the X-Men must find out what it is. They run into Fantomex who tells the X-Men it is called Weapon XII. There is an interesting bit where Fantomex informs Wolverine that he isn't Weapon "X" but rather he is Weapon 10 (X is 10 in Latin).
Xavier and the X-Men also visit the ruins of Genosha where they run into the devastation leftover from the Sentinal raids and find that Magneto has left something very strange behind. This volume ends with the Shi'ar abrogating Xavier and Lilandra's marriage and warn the X-men of the coming of the Phoniex.
GM's take is slightly different (no surprise) but it seems to work. I wasn't blown away but did enjoy this version. The artwork is odd, was rather neutral on it at first but it grew on me. I think most XMen fans will enjoy this different take.

"I CAN READ YOUR BODY LANGUAGE, SO I KNOW THAT YOU'RE WONDERING HOW I GOT IN AND WHY YOU ONLY SEE WHITE ROSES WHEN YOU TRY TO LOOK IN MY MIND.
THOUGHT-PROOFED CERAMIC PANELS. I HEARD YOUR SPEECH ON TV AND DECIDED TO PUT YOU IN A MORALLY COMPROMISING POSITION.
I'M ASKING YOU TO HARBOR THE MOST NOTORIOUS MUTANT CRIMINAL IN EUROPE. FANTOMEX -- PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE, PROFESSOR, MISS GREY.
I WANT WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN. I'M A MUTANT. I DEMAND SANCTUARY."
- Fantomex, demanding sanctuary... it's all pretty clear in the above quote. I'm not doing it again.
Better than the last volume, but still not to my liking. Fantomex was a nice touch that included a history of the Weapon Plus program.
The art was mostly good. The story, readable. Three stars.

What was a fantastic run by Morrison hits just a BIT of a lull in this volume.
I mean, it's still good. We've got the admirable, peaceful, and enigmatic Xorn (but just in the first issue of the volume, there should have been more Xorn) and the strangeness and bad-assness of Fantomex. But after a volume that just melted your face (volume 2: "Imperial"), it would have been hard to impress no matter what.
I must stress that this volume is still good, though, and indicative of Morrison's talents. It may just be that this volume is a little lackluster compared to others in the series.

Mucha tela en este número de la serie de Morrison: la parte más introspectiva se centra en la psicología interior del personaje de Xorn, la trama más oscura y conspiracionista la introduce Fantomex, el peso melodramático y el tono de fotonovela se lo lleva el triángulo Frost -Summers – Fénix, la aparición anecdótica pero más delirante es para un cabo de marines llamado Animal, el protagonismo aterrador es para Arma Doce y las escenas en el Eurotúnel de París, el idilio Bizarro lo acaparan Ángel y Pico y, el capítulo más truculento, es el ambientado en Genosha. Un buen coctel preparado para llevar al lector de sorpresa en sorpresa hasta las páginas finales.
Personalmente, de todos los ilustradores del tomo, me quedo con los lápices de Phil Jiménez en “Campos magnéticos ambientales” y Ethan Van Sciver en “Arena”.

- the first issue in this with xorn was actually very good and touching (especially when he went to that twelve year-old with his mother)
- also found the corporal “animal” part quite touching
- emma being the therapist for scott about his marital troubles… this is gonna be so cooked
- the art in this was slightly better (and didn’t make me that uncomfortable??) but some of the people were drawn so horridly… this one panel with jean was horrid (at the same time, the artist has drawn jean impressively well in certain panels so i guess it balances out but i still don't like the art)
- scott 💔💔
- “you know all magneto ever wanted, xavier? he only ever wanted you to admit he was right.” hehe.. cherik

Frank Quitely is an acquired taste. But I like him a lot. I think he's a great artist. But when we change from an artist that I do like, to an artist that I don't, it's very jarring.
Art aside I think this is where Grant Morrison really picks up the drama and momentum of his run. We get an entire issue dedicated to Xorn, introduce Fantom X, and finally mourn the loss of Genosha.

I don't think there's much to say about this volume but it continues to be solid. Not a huge fan of Fantomex – I don't see why we needed another smug, cocky, ridiculously competent Weapon X subject but whatever.

je continue ma lecture de new xmen
ce volume était un peu décousu, l’artstyle change tout le temps et est vraiment pas à mon goût…… il y avait quand même des choses intéressantes mais j’attends plus de la suite

Começando a entender um pouco por que as pessoas gostam tanto dessa fase. Meu volume favorito até agora! Talvez porque as partes mais pirotécnicas da história tiveram um fundo de drama pessoal ainda mais chamativo, que é sempre meu cenário favorito pros X-Men.

Not as interesting as the first two volumes since it seems to be mostly setting up future stuff, but the worldbuilding on Weapon X/Weapon Plus was a nice addition.
Also I wish we'd just stick with one artist in this series cuz sometimes the faces look really off depending on the artist.

A really scattered volume that goes beyond Morrison's selected group of X-Men to look into the extended X-groups, which is great for scope and bad for focus.
Living & Dying (#127). A story about Xorn. He really seems to care about other mutants as his persecuted people! This story is small scale, with some emotional impact [4/5].
New Worlds (#128-130). A very innovative story, introducing Fantomex and the whole idea of the Weapon Plus program creating lots of killers. Both the new character and the new look at Weapon X are terrific, though the story itself drags a bit as everyone fights a zombie horde. This is also the story that pushes hard on the idea of X-Men: X-Corps, which means that we lose most of our regular characters for this storyline [4/5].
Some Angels Falling (#131). A love story in two parts. On the one hand we get Beak and Angel, who continue to be well-developed new New Mutants. And on the other hand we get the story that really kindles the Scott & Emma romance and makes it totally believable, as they engage in some telepathic therapy. I think this story made me love Emma too [5+/5]
Ambient Magnetic Fields (#132). Great continuity in returning to Genosha and a beautiful look at the last words of its citizens. (And wow, is that the little remembered Neal Shaara Thunderbird? Morrison is certainly touring the world of X-Men) [5/5].
Finale (#133). And what an oddly scattered finale to this oddly scattered set of stories. It's a coda to "Imperial" and also to "New Worlds", as Lilandra and Fantomex both make their returns ... and an intro to another new New Mutant. It's all good enough if unfocused [4/5].

Updated from 2025 Readthrough:
Up until the final issue, I really enjoyed how this volume felt more like an anthology than a single, fluid narrative. I liked checking in on various characters from Morrison's run, and also checking in with the future X-Factor team. The final issue suffers from scattershot writing. The dialogue was all over the place, and the pacing didn't resemble any of the previous issues.
********************
Original Review:
Faltering a bit, after a solid first major storyarc, Morrison presents some stories involving the fallout from said story, as well as picking at some of the plots the other X-writers were working on at the time. We get to see an X-Corps team that foreshadows Peter David's next X-Factor, Vol. 1: The Longest Night run, we're introduced and then re-encounter Fantomex (who lets us in on Morrison's retcon of Weapon X), and we deal with both the collapse of the Shi'ar empire, the destruction of Genosha, and the crumbling of Scott & Jean's marriage, which were all major elements of the previous arc.
The writing is interesting, though there are some problematic Racism Based On Real Situations Is Still Racism issues that are especially troubling in a book whose core is about people being discriminated against.
The art is wildly inconsistent from issue to issue. Never truly awful, but sometimes messy.
I don't think it's poor enough to drive off those captivated by Morrison's run so far but it's not quite as strong as what preceded it.

continuing the x-read of 2017
This volume was, well, less than X-citing.
Ok, that was bad. But considering that I forgot to review this one the other day, I think that says something about it. It isn't a bad story per se (and there are some very cool elements - particularly some of what is going on in Genosha in the second half...) but a lot of inexplicable things. There seems to have been a huge time jump considering this x-corporation springing up and having headquarters all around the world and yet all of the x-books are treating this as if there hasn't been a time jump - I'm a bit confused by that. Fantomex as a character seems alright but his introductory story here is kind of boring.
My biggest problem with this volume is Morrison using characters for their names. I was excited to see Madrox, Cannonball, Siryn, Feral, Monet... Characters that I really love from my time reading these books. But they are these characters in name only. I honestly have no idea why Morrison didn't just use new characters if he wasn't going to research their personalities in the least. It is incredibly annoying.
And do we really need to do the Phoenix story again? (And yes, I know this won't be the last time...) Wasn't Morrison brought on to shake things up? And he's already repeating storylines and ideas.
Oh. And I still basically hate the art in this book.

I picked this up at a book sale without reading the previous two and knowing nothing about it. It's pretty well reviewed here, and I haven't the foggiest idea why.
Easily the worst thing about this book are the issues drawn by Igor Kordey. The art is abysmal, some of the worst I've ever seen in a mainstream comic. I do not say this lightly. There's a one page illustration of Emma Frost that is possibly the worst I've ever seen of her. I can't get past it.
Which is a shame, as I am curious about Xorn, and the first issue included is all about him. He's one of the few things I like about the book.
There's a lot of people being jerks in this collection, which I hate unless they're incredibly witty jerks, and believe me, they aren't. We get introduced to a new character, Fantomex, who is super obnoxious and so of course plays a major role. Emma is up to her usual tricks, but nothing interesting. Wolverine, despite being on the cover, is barely in this. Jean's stuff is kinda interesting, but again, nothing that seems especially fresh.
This just didn't draw me in, thanks to awful art, jerks, and stories that weren't all that exciting. Based on this, I wouldn't continue the series, but I did just because I have a couple more volumes.

De este libro mi dibujante preferido es Phil Jiménez #132
El primer libro “de vivir y de morir” Empieza con Xorn consolando a un caballo “si pudiera salvar todas las vidas del mundo, lo haría”. Xorn:”Cuando usted mira en mi mente que ve?; Xabier:”una estrella radiante de pensamiento puro”. Xorn es como un recién nacido asimilando el mundo sin juzgarlo.
En el segundo “nuevos mundos” aparece Fantomex, arma XIII, pidiendo asilo a X. Y JG., con su cerebro externo EVA. En la escena del túnel Xabier conectado a hombre múltiple aniquilan a Arma XII mientras JG permite que Fantomex se escape.
En “Angeles que caen” comienzan las infidelidades telepáticas entre summers y Emma, y el romance de Barnie y Ángel.
Y por fin “Campos Magnéticos ambientales” Quitely dibuja una Genosha Destruida, donde los X, Lorna y Pietro, escuchan la grabación de los últimos segundos de Magneto.
Lobezno encuentra a “Arena” Sooraya, y se deshace el matrimonio de X. Y Lilandra que vuele. Y aísla su Imperio.
Mucha trama para mi cabeza pero nuevos mutantes imposibles de imaginar.

Holy shit, Grant Morrison,
What the hell happened here?
Your run on this series started off so promisingly -- only to turn into this?!?
Maybe it will pay off later, but I seriously doubt I'll be sticking around to find it.

This book had all of the stuff that made me love the X-men to begin with. I don't know how fans of the team did not like this book??? Mysterious villians, and thrilling adventures. Intro to the new Weapon 13 - Fantomex. Not to mention a huge cast of mutants. Love this. I'll have to read more...
August 6, 2019
Kind of a low-key volume which consists mostly of several shorter and smaller stories. I would have given it 4 stars, but the artwork by Igor Kordey in most of the volume was so appalling that I had to take one star off. Otherwise, this is still a pretty interesting run.
June 18, 2023
The art is is so so in a few of the issues. The storyline is great. Nothing to amazing if you ask me. The fact that prof x marriage is over shouldn’t be a huge shock. But it’s still worth reading.

Pan Morrison bez zbędnych udziwnień. Po ostrych jazdach z poprzedniego tomu, (gdzie mieliśmy nawet tłuczące się że sobą płody w walce o dominację w brzuchu...) autor prezentuje nam w miarę spokojną fabułę, aż się zaniepokoiłem, choć na wyrost. Miejscami jest krwawo, zwłaszcza gdy do akcji wkracza Logan albo całkowity debiutant. Panie i Panowie, Fantomex. Tak, ten jegomość tutaj zalicza swój pierwszy raz i wychodzi mu to świetnie.
Ale początek należy to Torn i próby ratowania nietypowego mutanta, który pożarł kota i jest poszukiwany przez ludzi z sąsiedztwa, aby wykonać wyrok na "potworze". Autor zarysowuje nieco postać mutanta, który zakrywa swoją twarz, jako osoby bardzo zaangażowanej w to co robi. Niestety nie jest to historia z happy endem.
Fantomex to główne danie tego tytułu. Całość intrygi krąży wokół kolejnego wytworu programu Weapon, którego najsłynniejszymi wynikami są Wolverine i Deadpool. Teraz dołącza do tej ekipy wspomniany heros, choć na dobrą sprawę ma on bardzo radykalne podejście do tematu i miano bohatera tak za bardzo mu się nie należy. Niemniej wykrada on poufne dane, "odwiedza" Xaviera i towarzyszącą mu Jean Grey, aby razem powstrzymać jeszcze inny produkt feralnego programu Weapon.
Oprócz tego mamy tu wizytę w zdewastowanej Genoshy, której widok przypomina mi Fallouta. Nienawiść ludzka znalazła ukierunkowanie i doprowadziła do zagłady milionów mutantów. Teraz trzeba sobie poradzić z następstwami. Podobał mi się wątek Emmy Frost, która zaczęła się bawić w seksterapeutkę w stosunku do Scotta Summersa... Jean chyba wpadnie w szał jak się dowie...
Kila stron poświęcono bodajże wschodzącym New Mutants oraz to co podobali mi się najbardziej czyli ostatni zeszyt gdzie Xavier zapobiega porwaniu samolotu, spotyka swoją żonę i mamy pierwsze spotkanie Logan-Fantomex. Miód na moje oczy.
Niestety nie mogę tego powiedzieć miejscami na temat kreski, bo serii nadal towarzyszy bardzo udziwniona szata graficzna. Czyni to ten tytuł jak najbardziej specyficznym, aczkolwiek nie przemawia to do mnie w ogóle, choć miałem wrażenie, że i tak jest poprawa w odniesieniu do poprzednich dwóch tomów.
Mimo wszystko daję "czwóreczkę", zresztą nieco naciągnięta, bo pasuje tu bardziej 3,5/5. Za Emmę, Logana i Fantomexa.
Ale początek należy to Torn i próby ratowania nietypowego mutanta, który pożarł kota i jest poszukiwany przez ludzi z sąsiedztwa, aby wykonać wyrok na "potworze". Autor zarysowuje nieco postać mutanta, który zakrywa swoją twarz, jako osoby bardzo zaangażowanej w to co robi. Niestety nie jest to historia z happy endem.
Fantomex to główne danie tego tytułu. Całość intrygi krąży wokół kolejnego wytworu programu Weapon, którego najsłynniejszymi wynikami są Wolverine i Deadpool. Teraz dołącza do tej ekipy wspomniany heros, choć na dobrą sprawę ma on bardzo radykalne podejście do tematu i miano bohatera tak za bardzo mu się nie należy. Niemniej wykrada on poufne dane, "odwiedza" Xaviera i towarzyszącą mu Jean Grey, aby razem powstrzymać jeszcze inny produkt feralnego programu Weapon.
Oprócz tego mamy tu wizytę w zdewastowanej Genoshy, której widok przypomina mi Fallouta. Nienawiść ludzka znalazła ukierunkowanie i doprowadziła do zagłady milionów mutantów. Teraz trzeba sobie poradzić z następstwami. Podobał mi się wątek Emmy Frost, która zaczęła się bawić w seksterapeutkę w stosunku do Scotta Summersa... Jean chyba wpadnie w szał jak się dowie...
