Only a handful of imprisoned mutants remain to fight against their oppressive robotic overseers! Now Kate Pryde, former X-Man, must travel back in time and warn her present-day teammates of the coming danger - and hopefully prevent this horrible future from ever taking place!

Very enjoyable!

I read the original “Days of Future Past” (Uncanny X-Men #141 - 142) in 1980. This was pretty faithful. And I liked the new material. Excellent voice cast and sound effects. Very solid narration, too. Thumbs up!

Very entertaining

Very entertaining. Like watching a movie. Better than previous audiobooks I’ve heard. I’d recommend this

A perfect X-Men story!

This is a perfectly written and performed story from start to finish! I love how emotionally connected you feel to the characters and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat!

AMAZING!!

I'm a huge X-Men fan and I thought this was masterfully done. The voice cast was great, everyone fit their character very well. The sound effects and music were perfect, writing was excellent, and the narration was very captivating. This is one I replay over and over. Highly recommend to any comic fan or anyone that enjoys an exciting fiction.

A Classic Tale

This is one of the most iconic X-Men tales. I read the original comics back in high school and it captured the imagination of my friends and me at the time and remains a favored X-Men story decades later. The basic plot is that an assassination of a U.S. senator by mutant terrorists triggered the creation of a police state in the U.S. that is enforced by robot sentinels. Those sentinels took over and have practically exterminated all mutants in the U.S. plus anyone with the genes for making mutants. Now they are getting ready to expand their anti-mutant program to the rest of the world, and the rest of the world is preparing to stop them from doing this with nuclear weapons. The only hope for stopping the apocalypse part 2 are the handful of surviving X-Men, Magneto, and Franklin Richards. Their plan is twofold. First they send the psyche of Kate Pride (adult version of brand new X-Men Kitty Pride) back into the past to try and stop the assassination of Senator Kelly. At the same time, the rest of the X-Men stage a break out from their concentration camp to try and bring the Sentinels down. It’s an exciting story that features the gruesome deaths of many of the future X-Men.

This fully dramatized audio version of the tale was very well done. The voice acting was great. The sound effects were high quality. And the expanded tale (from the two issues of the original comic book) was particularly well done. Perhaps the best addition was having 13 year old Kitty Pride be conscious in the future and have to deal with what is in many ways the end of the world. The author also tweaked some of those storylines giving Magneto a much larger role. (Too bad that wasn’t also done for Franklin Richards.) Overall, it’s a great retelling of a classic story.

Looking for more books

It was good and looking up more audio books.
If anyone have any recommendations for Marvel and comic books please let me know.

Marvel Hero's tale without the artwork

Marvel action story without the drawings, But with a full cast and a less than a $100,000,000 bidget.
X-men revised history. Kitty is sent to swap futures with herself to save the world. History must be rewritten to prevent qour fearful and bigoted leaders and bureaucrats.

Saw the movie? better get comfy and listen to this

This Story is really engaging and entertaining. If you are a Fan of the Xmen ( the 90 cartoons) this is just up your alley, If you are a Xmen Cinematic verse fan, you will find it interesting. The Narration is full Cast which makes it so much better since its fully immersive you will feel like the action is happening around you. I love how every character feels real, you can see the personality behind every character that appears in the story.

Happy Reading...

This was refreshing.

If you dig the X-Men you'll enjoy this. The voice actors and sound effects really bring the story to life, found myself on the edge of my seat in my car not wanting to go inside my house just so I could listen to what was going to happen next.

Fun and Exciting

Loved the comic, and I loved the audiobook. Really easy to follow if you’re paying attention. Great performances, and kept my attention.
