When Mister X hit the shelves twenty-five years ago, no one had ever seen anything like it - a fusion of film noir, Art Deco, and German Expressionism channeled through the talents of the greatest up-and-coming artists of the day. The story of a utopian city with architecture that drove its inhabitants mad and the never-sleeping architect who quested tirelessly for a cure, Mister X captivated a generation of comics fans and creators, transforming the landscape of their chosen medium forever. Still as inspiring and compelling as the first time it saw print, the entire run of Mister X written by Dean Motter gets the deluxe treatment in this volume, every page of its groundbreaking artwork painstakingly restored.

How do you fuck that up?
Well, you fuck it up by devoting something like two or three panels on a single page in an almost 350 page book to that architect actually attacking the problem, but you spend the bulk of the time having people run around trying to solve one boring mystery after another, including whether the architect, known as Mr. X, is really Santos, or Walter, or Eichmann, or... yeah, don't care. So, the writing, while having the odd flash of brilliance, was mostly banal.
And then there's the art. It started off extremely strong with the talented Hernandez brothers, then got progressively worse until it hit rock bottom with artist Seth.
There was a constant thought going through my head as I struggled through two-thirds of the book before the apathy came to stay. And that thought was...
Mister X.
Misdirects.
I think that's the more accurate title. Don't call it Mister X. Call the the phonetically similar Misdirects. Because that's all this book seemed to do. It misdirected you from the main story of what Mr. X could have done to save the people of Radiant City, and instead involved you in the small, boring stories of some of the city's most boring leaders.
Not worth the time.
