StoryThis book is a little hard to review. The title says Days of Future Past, but that's only 2 out of like 6 or so comics in this collection. Really just under 50 pages of the 184.The title story was enjoyable and I'm glad I read it. I wish they wouldn't have bothered with all the filler issues before and after though.Obviously I picked this up with the movie that was just released. I wanted to see how it compared to the original story. I forgot it was adapted for the 90's cartoon as well. I'd like to go back and watch that at some point.The basic plot is the same, even if a lot of the details are quite different. I does make for a good story.My recommendation is borrow this from the library and skip to just reading #141 and 142. I'd give the title story 4 stars and the rest 2 stars, hence my 3 star rating for this collection.ArtworkThe artwork is nothing special for me. It's not bad though. I grew up reading comics in the 90s and have only just started again with the likes of [b:Saga, Volume 1 15704307 Saga, Volume 1 Brian K. Vaughan https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1351259514s/15704307.jpg 19113524] and [b:Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft 3217221 Locke & Key, Vol. 1 Welcome to Lovecraft (Locke & Key, #1) Joe Hill https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1377304780s/3217221.jpg 3251160]. It's really not fair to compare the art to either of those.
