I appreciate what Chris Claremont is doing here, but . . as I stated in X-Men: Forever . . here we are with yet another alternate universe. This would be one of 5 or 6 various ones going on right now. This reminds me of DC comics in the 70's. Are they setting themselves up for a Crisis-like series down the line here? Anyways, having said that, I really do like the characters in this book. They're reluctant heroes, much like the X-Men in the beginning. They want to do good, and find themselves in the world. Right now they're basically traveling the path that's being laid out in front of them. Scott's given them an ultimatum, of sorts . . either they can be adventurers, or they can be students . . but not both. And, apparently, Hank has the same wonder-lust as these kids. He's not very hesitant about going along for the ride. Sure he can say he's trying to protect them, but . . it didn't necessarily have to be him.But he quickly stepped into those shoes. After the fight on Genosha, trying to help Sati from the little 'goblins' chasing her, our team is now traveling to Mumbai to help Sati in her fight against the Ravarati. And they do come across Kalima and her little 'goblins', but . . they also find someone else, a new foe, that they hadn't expected. "Guys, I'd like you to meet . . Sophie Von Doom . . heiress to the throne of Latveria . . and the only child of . . Dr Victor Von Doom." Although Sophie may need them as allies . . Kalima doesn't take lightly to her operations in this country without her permission. I like this series . . as I did the first. Jon Boy Meyers gives the visuals a unique look. Kind of a 'young', 'fresh' approach. This should all roll out to be a very interesting story.
