My review:
I really liked the X-Men portion of this graphic novel, but I could take or leave the Fantastic Four half.  I'm more familiar with the X-Men world, and although I like the Fantastic Four, their part of the story just didn't really grab me.

Although I did feel a bit lost during the X-Men portion.  I think this is much further into the story line than I've gotten in my reading, so there were things that were referred to that I'd never read about.  That's what happens when my library doesn't carry all the graphic novels I want to read. 

The artwork in the whole book was great, though.  Beautiful colors, and just my style.  I would only recommend this for those who have read at least parts of these series already, otherwise I don't think you'd like it.
