Average Rating: 
Rating: - good read
If, like me, you've followed the x-men stories from the beginning you'll probably enjoy this little arc, the story is pretty much classic x-men, aliens, overly-dramatic relationships, a bit of odd mysticism, nothing surprising or new here, the art is good, Emma Frost(much as I despise her) is particularly well-drawn, and the little twist in the Rogue/Wolvie relationship is worth the price of the book, hell the cover alone is worth it. If youre new to the x-men universe there are definitely better ... Read More
Rating:  - A rare miss by Milligan
If you're a fan of Peter Milligan, as I am, you may want to skip this trade (and in fact his entire run on X-Men). It is nothing like X-Factor/X-Statix, and nothing like his Vertigo work. Quite frankly it's awefully similar to every other X-Men writer since Lobdell that can't really find their own voice and just try to take the Claremont formula and throw some EXTRA angst and in-fighting in. Granted, this story has a reason for more in-fighting than usual, but still... this is merely middle of ... Read More
Rating:  - A Worthwhile Read
I was initially put off of purchasing this story arc because of somewhat negative reviews but was eventually swayed by the presence of Polaris - an X-Man that I think is quite underused - and my two favourites, Remy LeBeau and Rogue. I'm glad I chose to buy Golgotha because I found it to be very intruiging! It's not perfect of course, few graphic novels are, but it's got some very interesting character arcs involving Rogue and Gambit's relationship and, the moment when a thousand fangirls rejoiced, ...

Rating: - A step in the right direction
Unusally gifted writer Peter Milligan seems to get nothing but lame work at Marvel since his brilliant X-Statix series was cancelled. Since then, he's done the Punisher movie adpation, a Wolverine/Punisher mini-series, and a Venom VS Carnage mini as well. They are definitely nothing to write home about, but now Milligan has the chance to prove his talents on X-Men. Taking over for departed scribe Chuck Austen (thankfully), Milligan crafts a story involving Havok, Polaris, Iceman, Rogue, and Gambit ... Read More
Rating: - Ups and Downs: Overall, OK
X-Men: Golgotha is a decent story. Nothing memorable whatsoever, but new writer Peter Milligan is taking the right steps to make up for Chuck Austen's weak run on the title. Golgotha is the story of these alien creatures that cause mass hysteria among mutants, making them go crazy. In the process of destroying it, the X-Men almost succumb to their irrational fears and accomplish their mission. Again, not the best story, but you can deal.
Why I keep buying this title is because of the characters. ... Read More
