This book really is the best of both world's. Story wise, it has the feel of the old X-men books. You know. Before every story line took 8 to 12 issues. And before there was 20 some different titles, and we didn't have a hundred different characters to keep track of. Back to the original five. But the artwork, feels current and timely. I'm as big a Jack Kirby fan as the next guy, but, to look back at some of that old art, as compared to today's . . . . . yikes! But I really do like the young fresh feeling of our characters here. They aren't scarred and broken and continuously on guard. They have a naivety and freshness to them. They're fun to read. I know we're had "X-men the early years" and "X-men the hidden years" and "the X-men tales they forgot to tell" and on and on and on and on and on, but this one seems different. I guess it's just the creative team of Jeff Parker and Roger Cruz. But I really like the feel of this one. Thank you!
