    What happened?

    What happened here? This series has been a swift kick to the groin and then this issue comes and trips over it`s own feet. Granted, it was still a good issue with a couple of good moments (Young Cyclops` encounter with Wolverine) but it didn't have near the punch we've seen of late. It is a slow issue, with not much going on due to some story development, which happens but usually Bendis can keep you entertained even during the slow moments. Not here. Also, the moment I've been waiting for happened, the meeting of the Angels. I have been waiting for this and when it happened I sort of scratched my head and thought, "Okay?" It was nothing like I imagined but they aren't done yet so we'll see.

    The art switched hands this issue with Immonen being replaced with David Marquez. I like his art but he is definitely no Immonen, which can't be expected of him. I think he definitely has a good style, though my photorealistic than I like, but it is good work and I look forward to seeing more.

    Overall this was a good issue, just not what we've come to expect from the title so far. I'm sure it will pick back up as every issue simply can't be a masterpiece, no one could manage that. Buy it, as it has some important plot points and is still a good book. Hopefully we'll get back on track next issue.

Kitty Pryde also helps Jean Grey cope with he recently found telepathic powers.ReviewThis was a brilliant issue and one of my favourites in the series so far. Brian Michael Bendis has been doing an excellent job...

      So the original X-Men are going to stay a little longer than Beast (present-going-throught-his-third-not-so-well-explained- mutation-Hank) anticipated. The reason? Trying to turn Scott Summers (former heroe, new self proclaimed leader of a new school without much explanation either of his plans or alliegence current present Cyclops) from his current path and again back to the side of the "good boys", although this is quite a complex, ambiguous, vague and with shades of grey concept. But firsts t...
