Really enjoyed this collection despite the focus on the core group of X-Men that everyone knows and loves. If you're a fan of the 90s animated series, this is a great book to pick up!

I liked this whole type of work, so I was pretty excited when I heard about this one. A little too much focus on Cyclops though. I would prefer some things about Storm or some of the other characters. Really liked the artistry in the Eagle and the Tortoise, with the tortoise's shell bearing an X and the outline of Magneto's helmet around the bird's face. Each story came from a different place, had drastically different artistic styles, and was just fun.

An entertaining set of stories. The first two were the best, with the second especially interesting for providing a good summary of the relationship between Xavier and Magneto.

Basic Premise: Japanese fairy tales told with X-Men characters.While I'm not particularly familiar with the Japanese fairy tales these stories are based on, I found it very interesting to see familiar characters in them. Somehow it made the stories seem more familiar, because I know enough about the X-characters to fill in a lot of character blanks. Not a bad read, with decent enough art.

I have always been a sucker for fairy tales and I have been a fan of comics since I was a teen(though I can't see myself buying one for close to 5 bucks for something half the thickness it used to be(not true for all comics by the way.)I am sure there are plenty of fans that are more hardcore then I and would find a mix of X-men and fairy tales to be a waste of paper but I find the mix to be a pleasant mix of parody adding a flavor to enhance both genres. :)My favorite part of the book would hav...

While this was a good book, it wasn't as good as the Spider-man fairy tales so I was a little bit disappointed. These stories did not necessarily tie in as well with the comic book characters original stories, and several of them were also lesser known fairy tales. However they were still entertaining and interesting and worth reading.

I love faerie tales, so this was great as it blends them with the X-Men which I also love!It was fun trying to identify which tales and characters were which and the fact that it uses faerie tales from around the world.

Some cool interpretations of X-Men outside their natural area.

I didn't love the plot of all these, but the artwork was amazing! Worth reading once if you're a big X-Men fan

Superhero comics are our modern mythology, so it is none too astonishing that X-Men lore overlaps with stories from around the world. Particularly uncanny is how well the "The Friendship of the Tortoise and the Eagle" fits Magneto and Professor X’s troubled relationship; the African tale resonates so heartbreakingly well that it becomes hard for me to imagine the two classic stories as separate ones. Like Jean Grey as the Phoenix (oh yes I went there), classic Marvel story arcs and old folktales...

I picked this up at Mavericks on a whim and I actually really enjoyed it! There are four fairy tales in this volume which is part of a larger Marvel Fairy Tales series. The first two fairy tales actually are re-interpretations of established stories. The second two are cobbled together by bits and pieces of familiar Grimm stories. The artwork changes with each tale, but I actually thought they were all pretty strong and interesting in their own way drawing upon decades of history with the X-Men....

This was pretty much an ok collection of fairy tales with X-Men characters recast in the role of fairy tale characters. I particularly liked "The Peach Boy," and I thought "To Die in Dreams" had a nice poignant touch to it. The tale featuring Rogue seemed to have a nice build up, then seemed rushed to the end. Overall, a nice, quick, entertaining read, but this is a volume to borrow if you can. Nice, but not great. There is a series of Marvel Fairy Tales, and I may try to find others, but I am k...

plot holes/problems:1. In the first fairytale about cyclops his one Eye was covered up by a peach pit and it prevented his optic blasts from being released. My question is how the peach pit stayed in during strenuous activities. Especially when he grew up his eye sockets would get bigger so the peach pit wouldn't fit well. makes no sense.2. When cyclops was trying to get the blue monkey to join his team he had him complete a task of trying to get the peach pit from his eye. When the blue monkey

I didn't know these stories that well, but they were interesting to read with the X-Men characters. Most were pretty sad stories. :(

not sure what i expected, but it wasn’t this. i don’t know, i just wasn’t a fan. hopefully, the spider-man and avengers fairytales will be better.

Cute stories. Particularly liked the third story comprising of wolverine, Jean Grey and cyclops

This wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be. The initial story, a Japanese folktale retold with Cyclops, was great. However, later stories just didn't jive. The artwork was inconsistent, the stories weren't all fully developed, and often the X-Men themselves were forced in. (I was also disappointed that certain X-Men featured centrally in multiple stories, while other X-Men were completely overlooked.)I rated it as 3 stars based solely on that first story, and the artwork and concept for th...

The Fairy Tale genere comes to the X-Universe, at the pen of C.B. Cebulski for this collection of one-shots. The first tackles the Momotaro fable of the boy in the giant peach, with a certain optic-blasting X-Man cast in that role. Asked by a bald monk to rescue the emperor's daughter from a gang of Brotherhood demons, young Scott uses his mysterious talent to recruit a team of loners (a blue monkey, a winged bird, and an ice dog). Able to overcome their foes, the group bands together as a force...

X-Men: Fairy Tales are four tales modeled on fairy Tales from various parts of the world such as Japan and Africa and heading on down to New Orleans as well as European myth but given an X-Men twist based on their own stories! :DEach story has a moment where it becomes clear what X-Men stories they are referring to and the way that they interact and mix it up is very cleverly portrayed as well the depictions of the characters and subtle change in their identities! :D Watch out for plot twists as...

I enjoyed the skillful incorporation of the Xmen/Marvel universe into traditional folktale/fairy tale lore.
