The Official X-Men Coloring Book is a fun nostalgia trip for Marvel fans, packed with over 90 pages of black-and-white artwork featuring characters and scenes from the beloved franchise and the new television show, X-Men ’97. From iconic heroes like Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Professor X to villains like Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants, this book covers a lot of ground. Fans of the Rogue and Gambit romance will especially appreciate the dedicated page celebrating this popular couple, while lesser-known characters like Psylocke make a few appearances to keep things interesting.
While the variety of characters is a highlight, The Official X-Men Coloring Book does have some downsides. Some of the artwork is repeated, which can feel like filler, and certain pages have lines that are so thin they’re almost impossible to color within. These thin outlines can make the coloring experience a bit frustrating for perfectionists or those looking for crisp, clean results.
On the bright side, The Official X-Men Coloring Book features plenty of dynamic scenes like battles with the Brotherhood of Mutants and flights in the Blackbird, giving fans opportunities to immerse themselves in the X-Men universe. For those who enjoy both classic and modern versions of the X-Men, this coloring book offers a good mix of nostalgic and iconic moments.
Despite its flaws, The Official X-Men Coloring Book is a great pick for X-Men enthusiasts looking for a relaxing and creative activity. It’s especially appealing for fans of characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, and even the villains who make the X-Men stories so compelling.
