This was an ok book. It was a bit sophomoric, but . . it is aimed at the teen-aged audience. Peter David writes it, which is perfect for the type of feel that they're looking for. This is right up his alley. I like it because of the light-hearted nature of the story and the characters. I love the X-Men. But, in the current books, and through the last few years, everything is always so serious and somber. There's been one 'epic' story-line after another for quite a while now. So this book, along with X-Men First Class, gives us a look at the same characters, but . . before the world, and the universe, really, beat them up so badly that they hardly smile and seldom crack a joke anymore. I'm joking! It's not really that bad, but . . I like the feel of these books with the characters when they're a bit younger, and full of hope and vigor. It's much more light-hearted, and honestly it doesn't feel like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders . . . yet. This issue Kitty is trying to impress some girls at her dance school, so when she sees a picture of Thor in one of their bags, she brags that she knows him. Then, she just has to go home and convince Logan into introducing them. Long story short, Logan does talk him in to making an appearance at Kitty's school, and everybody's happy. Like I said, it was a cute story. Scott Koblish's art is also perfect for the feel of this book. I like picking up these books and reading them. It's a good change of pace.
