review 1: I went in intrigued and by the end, I was glad to have finished it. (Some spoilers may follows, please be advised)What really didn't work for me was that this arc of the new title had a brand of humor that to me was reminiscent of a '70s or '80s sitcom. The hokey schtick of,"what could go wrong next now that we have these very important people here to make sure we can actually be open as a school". Wolverine and the staff of the new Jean Grey School (now that the X-Men have been torn apart by the Schism) are ready to open their doors to the next generation of young mutants, but are beleagured by the team of officials to get them sanctioned by the department of ed, wild shenanigans from all of the crazy tech Beast has installed, the attitudes of some of the students, and of... more course a new, tweenaged Hellfire Club that take ridiculously over the top to a new level. This was the majority of what happened.What I did like was that Wolverine was out of his element, wearing a suit and trying to be the in control head master. Kitty Pryde is always fun. And to me the real star of this was Iceman, who has come into his own and has shown he can be a force to be reckoned with.To me, this would be more like a 1.5 and to be honest, the only reason that I would personally read the next volume, would be to see if it were to get any better.Consider yourself warned.
review 2: Been going to Hal-Con for a few years now, and have made it my mission to pick up as many Indie books as I can. I'm a huge comics and Batman fan, but beyond that I haven't read a lot of books, aside from what I was forced to in high school or University. But I'm finding things I like in these indie titles.Honestly I bought this book because I'm a big fan of Hal-Con and want something by each author/artist guest, preferably signed by them. But I really, really hate X-Men. I barely got through this. The art is okay, but the premise itself has worn so thin (and wasn't that great to begin with) over the last 50 years that I don't know why they even publish X-Men anymore, let alone 10 comics a month or more. less
