X-Men: The Animated Series DVD Review

X-Men Animated DVD coverThe X-Men cartoon, better known as X-Men: The Animated Series, has finally been released on DVD.

Debuting in 1992, X-Men brought a new generation of viewers to the X-Men universe, and deservedly so, as this is a pretty good show.

The series is deeply steeped in actual X-Men lore, from Days of Future Past (in this collection) to the Phoenix Saga (in the next), and does a terrific job touching even the remotest of storylines.

And Cal Dodd is tremendous as Wolverine, getting several classic lines per episode.

While you won’t find any DVD extras, you will find 16 episodes in the first box set for only $17.99 (at Amazon.com) which is a pretty good deal.

  • Night of the Sentinels (Part 1)
  • Night of the Sentinels (Part 2)
  • Enter Magneto
  • Deadly Reunions
  • Captive Hearts
  • Cold Vengeance
