This is a pretty cool book. As I've said before, it's nice to see the kids when they were actually kids. Joking, wise cracking, full of life, as kids are meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I love the X-men. It's just that they've gone through so much. They've had so many of their brethren change, switch sides or die, that they've become the hardened people that they are today. But that's part of what makes them such an elite combat unit. They've honed their teamwork and skills to a near diamond perfection. But, it also tends to make them gloomy, introspective and nostalgic. My father used to always tell me, don't judge what you're going through now by the present, because ten years from now, you'll feel like this was one of the most carefree happiest times in your life. It seems like that's what the X-men go through constantly. No matter how bad they have it now, 6 months from now, it's gonna seem like something worse has come up. I'm not trying to sound negative about life, it's now always going to get worse, but, dealing with the experiences now, will help us better to handle the things in the future. And since were always learning, in retrospect, the incidents of the past are going to seem like nothing compared to our current trials. Anyways, seeing the X-men in their youth, full of life, is a great change of pace. Sure every day is a life or death situation, but they still joke and laugh about it. Because even though every day is hard, every day is new. Heck, today they met Thor, an Ice Troll and a Frost Giant. Not bad for the day after yesterday.
