I liked this book. Apparently it was the comic that came out on Free Comic Book Day. Who knew? I've been collecting for about 30 years now, and I've never, ever, gotten a free comic on Free Comic Book Day. Of course I don't usually frequent the shop on Saturday, so . . you know. Anyways, Mike Carey wrote it and the incredible art was by Greg Land. It's kind of an in-between story. When the X-Men moved out to the West Coast we saw Pixie in the New Mutants book, and then, next thing you know, after they move out to San Francisco . . there she is. Where apparently there was a little time in-between when she wasn't sure what her status was with the school. So, she moved back to Wales and started going back to her old school. But she ends up having a little problem while she's there. Some of the towns people are disappearing, and nobody seems to notice, or care. It turns out that down in the local mine is a N'Garai Queen, and all these drones are feeding her . . humans. Next thing you know . . here's comes the X-Men to her rescue. They never really do say how they found out that she needed the help. Oh that's right, never mind. She made a phone call one day when she was in school and left a message. My bad. Anyways, overall I thought it was an ok book. It was kind of a quick read, but . . the art was amazing. As always.
