Average for Brubaker - Rated
I cant really add anything to the other reviewer, who i agree with on his quibles, other than to say this is by no means essential. It is a fairly good read, but its clear that this really is just a set up for the next story. Its bitty, even though the plot is fairly straight forward. Possibly in an attempt to liven things up. That said this is a fairly self contained collection, which does count for something. Having started on a high with 'Deadly Genesis', I feel Brubakers work on the X-Men has never really lived up to the promise.
Average for Brubaker. But sometimes thats good enough. I'm just not sure if this is one of those times.
Ed Brubakers second x-men story is even better than his first. - Rated
Set after the rise and fall of the shi'ar empire, the x-men are back on earth and dealing with the death of Corsiar. The morlocks re appear, and have seperated into splinter groups based around a mutant religion (well almost), anyway you get the idea. It has obvious real world parrallels, which is something the x-men comics have always done well. The Morlock extremists start making terrorist attacks against normal folk in ways only mutants can. Also Professor X begins the search for magneto, something the extremists are also doing.
The Art is excellent, possibly Sal Larrocca's best ever, and Brubaker as always is an excellent writer, the relationships between characters are well handles. Perhaps the Hepzibah/warpath thing is a little heavy handed at times but this is a smill gripe. That and the complete no show of Darwin who was so prominant in the previous story, it seems odd he doesn't show up at all.
