 What If X-Men Rise and Fall of the Shiar Empire #1 (2007) $3.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by CHRISTOPHER YOST Penciled by LARRY STROMAN Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL THE RISE & FALL OF THE SHI’AR EMPIRE was an X-Men event like no other. Fresh off X-MEN: DEADLY GENESIS, Ed Brubaker took Marvel’s mighty mutants off Earth and on an intergalactic journey to stop VULCAN, the third Summers brother, from exacting revenge on the Shi’Ar Empire! But in that final battle in front of the M’Kraan Crystal, what if Vulcan absorbed the very energies that contained it many years ago? In other words, what if Vulcan became PHOENIX? When his unlimited rage is fueled with unlimited power...who will be able to stop him now? Writer Chris Yost (X-23, New X-Men, TV’s Fantastic Four) welcomes the return of legendary X-Factor and Alien Legion artist Larry Stroman to the X-Universe with this action-packed issue.  "Wow. When you combine Vulcan, one of the most annoying, least interesting villains the X-Men have ever faced (yes, worse than Sugar Man), with Chris Yost, who’s currently making X-Men: Emperor Vulcan an unreadable slog, and toss in the most awful art Larry Stroman has ever inflicted on the public, you get a perfect storm of an awful one-shot. It feels, reading this, like some sort of attack on comic fans. This book is like Marvel Comics slapping me in the face. These days, it’s not unusual to see a Marvel book with a page or two that makes you think “Man! How did an editor let this go out the door?!” But to see twenty-two pages of them… it can’t be an accident. I don’t know if it’s some sort of psychological test to see what a paying audience will put up with, or an editorial in-joke that went too far, but you could seriously put this in the next writing/drawing/editing How To book as How Not To Make A Comic. After reading this (so, frankly, you don’t have to), the best way to sum it up was a line from Nightcrawler: “Nein… There are horrors within… Only by a miracle did we survive the first time…” " THIS BOOK GETS 2 GRAHAMS OUT OF 10 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
