What am I going to say here? I mean . . Chris Claremont has given us a vision of what the X-Men may be if time had flowed . . . real time . . the way it does in the real world. The X-Men have really been around for about 45 years, and now some of the students are the original members descendants . . . children, grand-children, etc.. We got new kids, new powers . . and adversaries that we haven't seen before, but have been around for years. It's fantastic!! Only Chris could write a story about new characters, in a new situation, that upon reading it we feel like we've been along for the ride the whole time. This series . . or rather the story . . feels like Chris has really put a lot of thought and planning in to it. This is supposed to be a 5 issue mini, but . . I have a feeling he's going to have a hard time putting this one down. I wouldn't doubt if we see another mini, further on down the line, or maybe even an explanation about how this is just one of the 1000's of various universe's in the Omniverse. Remember, he is writing the Exiles also. But I'm just speculating. Anyways, so far I love it. It's nice to see some fresh faces and characters. And the artwork of Patrick Scherberger really helps to draw the reader in to the story. It's really a perfect mesh of story and art. I'm not thrilled with some of the x-tra stuff, but . . that's just me. I have a pretty extensive collection so I have all of that and I really don't like paying x-tra for it here. But really, that's a very minor complaint. We're only on issue #2, and I've fallen in love with these characters already. It's a great concept, and a fantastic series. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
