Review: There�s no denying the statement. The fact that one of the episodes included is the finale of a 3-part story only goes to show just how clueless they are when it comes to these single disc releases. With X-Men 3 approaching next year, I can only hope we�ll get those season sets as they�re long overdue. The features included here are arguably the best of Disney�s Marvel discs. We get the usual Stan Lee stuff, which is a little better than his Spider-Man sopabox�s, but the real treat is Claremont�s commentary. It�s only in specific parts of the episode (usually after each chapter stop) but he does have a lot of interesting topics throughout the disc, especially his comments about Wolverine. This man arguably defined the X-Men as the group we know them as today, so I�m glad he was able to comment on this DVD. Production wise, we get some very cool animated menus, with a fine transfer and decent audio. I never expect wonders from this point of the disc, but Disney did a fairly impressive job. It certainly beats the donkey years old VHS� I used to watch these episodes on. Not a bad disc, but the show itself is too difficult to contain in a measly four episodes, however good they are.
