X-Men: The Mutant Empire Omnibus
ByPublisher Description
Bringing the classic X-Men: Mutant Empire trilogy back into print in a brand-new omnibus.
MAGNETO'S EMPIRE WILL RISE...
They live as outcasts, hated and feared by the very humanity they protect. They are mutants, born with strange and wonderful powers that set them apart from the rest of the human race. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, they are more than mutants. They are--the X-Men.
Magneto--the X-Men's oldest, deadliest foe--has taken over a top-secret government installation that houses the Sentinels, powerful mutant-hunting robots. The X-Men must fight to keep this deadly technology out of Magneto's hands and stop him from carrying out his grand plan: establishing a global Mutant Empire. The X-Men must join forces with old enemies to stop him--but in Magneto's brave new world, who can they trust?

3.5
“Man this was great. So many X-Men get some love in this book and if you're a fan of the 90's cartoon this book was made for you. The characters feel like their 90's counter parts and there is a load of dialog and action to help you imagine you're watching a movie.”
“The signature Psylocke stories of the 90's usually involve Spiral and Mojo, who originally gave her electronic eyes; and/or Matsu'o Tsurayaba, her handler and lover when she was the Hand's telepathic ninja pawn. So, it is not surprising that for Psylocke's solo miniseries, Chris Yost and Harvey Tolibao picked Matsu'o as her main antagonist since they have a lot of baggage together.
I am of two minds about Psylocke's characterization by Yost here. I really like how Yost gave her Britishism and she's a rather formidable fighter here. It's what I would consider being true to the character and her origins. I'm rather confused how she's very bloodthirsty though. In Uncanny X-Force a few years after the release of this story, she's trying to tread a path of non-killing. I guess that was how she was written during this time.
It is a good enough story and I like it. Although I must admit a certain bias because the artist is a countryman of mine, Tolibao draws a fetching Psylocke.
This collection also includes a bonus; it has the first three appearances of Psylocke's new Asian body which were Uncanny X-Men issues from the Chris Claremont and Jim Lee era. It is a nice bonus and a dealmaker for me in buying this book from the used bookstore. The reader has an option a new story or a classic one.”
