But everything to do with Piotr is so comphet and just.... B O R I N G. Maybe it's my gay agenda or w/e but srsly, everything else about this book is fantastic and it would be so much better if Colossus just wasn't in it and we didn't have to deal with these ridiculous and obnoxious bits forcing Kitty to get back together with him. And I've seen the cover of one of the later volumes, I know I'm gonna be disappointed more than not in this hope. Oh well. One day. Great volume. So much better than the IvX issues, and a lot of the Extraordinary X-Men run. I miss Iceman's humour from this (but I have his own title to read) as I would probably have appreciated Anole being included in the team rather than Rockslide or Armour. The story line made sense (a nice change) and I thought the writing and plot was strong. The art started off brilliantly in the first 3 issues. There was a change of art team after that and the last 3 issues weren't as strong. The epic or fight scenes were fine but the characters barely resembled those in the earlier issues: at one point I only recognised Nightcrawler because he was blue. no reviews | add a review

In the wake of their war with the Inhumans, the X-Men are at a crossroads - where do they go from here? Luckily, one beloved X-Man has the answer to that question! Now, Xavier's dream comes full circle as Kitty Pryde returns to lead the team into a golden future! Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Rachel Grey and Old Man Logan will renew their mission to protect a world that hates and fears them, as the next chapter in the saga of the X-Men begins! But even as the new team rises out of the ashes of IVX, a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants isn't far behind. And when their rampage through New York City begins, there will be some surprisingly familiar faces in their ranks! Who has turned their backs on the X-Men...and why? No library descriptions found. |

I didn't love the artwork for the first few issues, but it wasn't bad. The costumes are't very exciting, and though I love the idea of Kitty with short hair, it looked awful how it was drawn to begin with. Though, I recall Syaf was dismissed for a controversy, but the details are blurry in my memory now, so whatever. At any rate, I was very pleased to see R. B. Silva turn up in issue 6; I always enjoy their style. They fixed Kitty's hair, and I love how Gambit looked. ( )
