They had some nice talent on this book. Chris Yost writes it, and Trevor Hairsine does the art. I expected it to be kind of like Wolverine Origins, but it really wasn't. In that book, we see how Wolverine's early years relate to other specific events, or origins, in the Marvel mutant-timeline. But this issue . . was really just a plain old origin issue. Which in and of itself was nice. It was nice to see Peter when he was young man, and the relationship he had with his brother, parents and later on . . his sister. But, it was pretty predictable. We see that his first "outing", as a mutant was from the emotional outburst that he had after he had found out that his brother was dead. Then surprisingly, he and his family keep it hidden for years. Even with Moscow having somebody deep undercover watching their every move. Ivan, the guy watching him, is in position for almost 10 years before he has anything to report. But by that time, his brother's best friend, Alexander, had been in contact with Charles a couple of times. In the final years before leaving Russia, Charles kept as close an eye on him as the Russians. It wasn't until he saw that they were actually coming for him, and his family, that he interceded. I really don't think that Peter wouldn't even have gone if he didn't think it was what was best for his family. The issue ends with Peter coming to the school and meeting the X-Men. I imagine this story is set up to give us some of Peter's background since he, with Kurt and Logan, have been captured by the Russians, over in Uncanny. Overall I thought it was a pretty good book. Like I said . . a bit predictable, but still moving . . in the right spots. Take it for what it is and enjoy it.
