 Startling terrible February 19, 2008
I can barely slog my way through this book. Heavy on dialogue, light on sense, plot, story. This is the reason that the X-men needed a reboot, which thankfully was done by Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon. This book is a horrific collection of stories written by Chris Claremont, Scott Lobdell, sadly, Robert Weinberg and Joe Pruett, both of whom show much more talent when not doing X-men comics.
 Very Morbid book June 30, 2007
Not just Collosus dies in this book. This book is full of death of long time x-men characters. As for quality, this book seems typical of the late 90s art styles.
I don't know if it was for all of them, or just a defect on mine, but on a few pages there were errors of printing, that the word bubbles on 2 pages were flipped.
It's on ok book, but there are lots of better X-books out there. The final issue of the book, with Kitty Pryde delivering Peter's ashes to Russia is 5 stars by itself.
good read November 17, 2006
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 stories to get you started. Over-all it's worth 3.5 stars, like I said the story is just a repeat of everything that's happened before, but it's definitely entertaining.
 A rare miss by Milligan March 9, 2006

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 the road, certainly not as bad as the Austen issues, but nowhere near the level of Morrison/Pak/Whedon and it's really a tame superheros as usual letdown from Milligan, a man who has used superhero metaphor so well in the past.
 A Worthwhile Read December 12, 2005

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, a kiss between Rogue and Wolverine! Sadly, the emotions are never resolved and while the X-Men save the world as always, they're left to go home feeling sort of awkward and unsure of themselves and their relationships with each other. I would've liked to see Wolverine and Rogue's kiss & it's impact on the future of Gambit and Rogue adressed in more than just one lone panel but overall, this is a worthwhile read with some very nice art.
