X-Men Volume 5 DVD Review
May 14th, 2010 by Tommy Day
Along with Spider-Man and Batman, the 90s animated X-Men cartoon has always been one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood. Back in September I reviewed volumes 3 and 4 of the show’s run on DVD, and now it comes to an end with volume 5.
I never really thought we’d get this many episodes of X-Men on DVD, so I’m pumped to finally have them all. Well, I’d still like to see the 1989 pilot Pryde of the X-Men get a DVD release, but maybe if we buy enough of these sets they will release it.
Volume 5 contains the following episodes on two discs:
Disc 1
- The Phalanx Covenant (Part 1)
- The Phalanx Covenant (Part 2)
- A Deal With the Devil
- No Mutant is an Island
- Longshot
- Bloodlines
Disc 2
- Storm Front (Part 1)
- Storm Front (Part 2)
- Jubilee’s Fairy Tale Theatre
- The Fifth Horseman
- Old Soldiers
- Descent
- Hidden Agendas
- Graduation Day
I remember being particularly pumped about Old Soldiers when I was a kid. I loved Captain America and was super excited about the idea of a WWII episode of X-Men pitting Logan and Steve agains the Red Skull.
The show is still watchable, you just have to take it with a grain of salt. There are lots of complicated plot lines and “Previously on X-Men” to keep up with, but this show reminds me of being a kid in the 90s so much that I don’t mind.
The 2 disc set is out now, so what are you waiting for?
