I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion ... I bought this based on the positive reviews it's been getting when I should have listened to the not-so-positive ones... mind you one person's trash is going to be another person's treasure, that goes without saying.. having said that... while I found the artwork to be absolutely gorgeous and the storyline POTENTIALLY fascinating it was just that, potentially... I have to disagree with the other reviewer who said enough is covered in this graphic novel to let it "stand alone" without reading the other related house of M titles (spider-man, wolverine, x-men et al) ... I became interested enough to go ahead and pick up the wolverine and iron man/avengers house of m tie ins after reading House of M but I have the distinct feeling the other titles will be a bit of a let down for me only because I already know how the whole meta-plot ends after finishing hosue of m...
I think a far better approach would have been to combine ALL the related house of M books into one entire whole - then break that whole down into several graphic novels that move sequentially, piece by piece, covering events as they occur in a chronological order... if you do want to give house of M a try, strange as this sounds I'd suggest the following.... stop reading house of M around the same time Professor X mysteriously vanishes and Wolverine "wakes up" wondering WHAT the hell just happened ... at that point read any other house of M titles you'd be interested in (apparently wolverine and iron man/avengers got good reviews though I have yet to read those two titles)... and after you're done with that THEN go back and finish house of M so you're not dealing with "plot spoilers" ahead of time and you don't feel like you're reading half a graphic novel instead of a whole one with several "chunks" and "gaps" missing. It's quite possible that after reading those two other graphic novels...maybe "spider man house of M" too (spidey is also featured prominently in house of m ) ... that the house of M will be worthy of the praise heaped upon it by other reviewers but to me, right now it just seems... well, incomplete, for lack of a better word. Yes I know Marvel wants to make money just like any other organization but seriously, I think the way they organized the graphic novels for this whole thing is (very) wrong.
UPDATE - After reading "House of M Wolverine" and "House of M Fantastic Four / Iron Man" I'm inclined to have a more favorable view of this graphic novel, enough to bump it up to 3 stars if amazon would let me , although my earlier criticisms still stand... definitely purchase House of M Wolverine, purchase House of M Fantastic Four / Iron Man if you can get it at a reasonable price say nine dollars or so (the alternate version of the "Fantastic Four" - really Doctor Doom and his imitation of the FF but a fascinating read, Iron Man part was okay but not great)... read one or both of those graphic novels that THEN finish reading House of M (after pausing halfway through House of M at the part I mentioned above to read the Wolverine and FF/Iron Man House of M graphic novels - sounds ridiculous I know but that's really the only way you're going to enjoy House of M, otherwise it just leaves you feeling like the story was incomplete)... I may end up adding Spider Man, Hulk, Uncanny X-Men and New X-Men House of M titles to the recommended reading list too - recently ordered them so they haven't arrived yet.

I HATED THIS BOOK!!! There is no better way to say; this book stinks!! There were so many stupid plot holes and inconsistencies.. some mutants are depowered others are not; mutants with little power previously now have Godlike powers, and then you have Deus ex machina mutants with "just the right power at the right time". Man, marvel has gone so far downhill they should just have a "Crisis" and start over from scratch! SAVE YOUR MONEY... DONT SPEND IT ON THIS TRASH!!!

Rated by buyers -
It is a very good idea, very pretty, very cool
It's kinda boring cause it's drama and bland, but I got into it so I wasnt bored.
I would recommend it, it's a very cool premise but not very AMAZINGLY executed

In the beggining I bought this book for curiosity because I read de review and I didn't like the story, but when I read this book I changed my mind totally because it was written with a dramatic point of view, I mean, the history is about what happen when the skarlet wich loose her mind and Pietro (quicksilver) manipulate her and she changed the world, now the mutantkind command the entire world, and she gives to all her friends the ability to have the life they always wanted, for example Spiderman is married to Gwen Stacy his uncle ben is alive, Cyclops and the White Queen are married and live together, Magneto is the ruler of the world is his catle in genosha (House Of M) but the only problerm is that Wolverine always wanted to remember everything, and of course he remembers what happened eith the Skarlet Wich, and he recruit all the avengers and the x-men (with the help of a mutant child) and the fight begins, and the final is amazing. This book is relly good, and I now want to read DECIMATION X-MEN: THE DAY AFTER, because I want to know much more. And I almost forget the drawing of Oliver Coipel is excellent.
