review 1: The writing was good for the most part. After the whole SECOND COMING drama this is sort of a getting back to "normal" story arch, and though Matt Fraction's writing is usually very good, there was not too much going on here. As for the art, ... pretty weak in my book. Sorry. I expected better from an X-Men book. I got this for free from the library but I did SPEND time reading it,... Come on MARVEL, get it together!
review 2: I do like to read things by Matt Fraction and I knew going into this library copy I've missed a lot of his prior X-Men books/chapters. I now understand why the mutant books have fallen in sales. This book has fine cover art by the terrific Dodsons, but the inside is a mess. Some of it is good, some of it is awful and it's all because ther... moree isn't a consistent artist on the title giving the reader the author's intended vision. I'd like to think the writer just stretched himself too much writing too many titles a month. The last time I read an X-Men book it was by Joss Whedon or Ed brubaker and even Whedon could sustain only a solid 6 issue run, of 18. I don't like the mix of A list characters mixed in with new. It just doesn't feel like an X-Men title. And the plots go no where, characters die and come back. Instead of Colossus being dead, it's Nightcrawler. I guess something must have happened to Rogue, because that was not the same character I remember reading stories about. I guess I've become like so many other bittered readers wishing to return to the grand old days when Claremont was in charge and things were new and different. Not recommended. less
