A really good story with some great covers, but unfortunately the art is pretty bad for most of it.

Fuck me I guess. Damn that hits hard and fast. It's amazing how much resonance you can get when queer people get to tell our own stories. Grace does an incredible job navigating the complexity of coming out later in life and just, like, trying to figure out everything all over again in your 30s. It can be tough, and this team does a great job showing one story in that space.

Iceman's coming out was a little out of left field (yes, all his female relationships have failed, sure) but Grace attempts to move this character from wise cracking superhero to a more rounded character with feelings especially in his struggle to navigate coming out to his friends and family...but still remaining a bit of a joker. Grace keeps it pretty light and breezy in the first 5 issues - I enjoyed reading this and look forward to vol 2.

It's a cool breath of fresh air for X-Fans, while paradoxically feeling more like a classic X-Men read than most X-titles currently on the shelves, and that's no easy feat.
