The Xenogenesis: Part 1 of 5 wiki last edited by OmniaMutantur on 05/20/13 11:05PM View full history

THE HEROIC AGE IS HERE! The superstar team of Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews (SPIDER-MAN: REIGN) take X-Men into the Heroic Age! Something’s happening in the tiny East African city of Mbangwi. Something that requires immediate investigation. A newborn sprouts metal electrodes and explodes, taking out an entire hospital. Is this the first wave of mutant rebirth that the X-Men have been praying for…or something very, very different? Something sinister?

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #1 - Xenogenesis: Part 1 of 5 by jstarzyk on May 12, 2010

I was really looking forward to this book.   I just finished the current Astonishing X-Men run that started with Joss Whedon’s stories, so I had high hopes for this.   It did not live up to those expectations.

I could see some of Andrews’ art growing on me as I see more, but not without some changes (mentioned below). -I’m interested to see where this story goes. Are these babies in Africa really mutants?

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #1 - Xenogenesis: Part 1 of 5 by fadetoblackbolt on May 14, 2010

I got to go into the city today, so I picked up a few more books that I didn't have time to get the other day, Xenogenesis was one of them.  First of all, I love Whedon's Astonishing run, and Ellis' run has had its up and downs. Anyway, on to this issue.   The art, as many have said, is somewhat jarring. Emma and Storm are both sporting looks that are...unique, to say the least. The male characters are solid enough, but there is certainly something off about the females. I'm not sure if it's jus...
