A medal for Mutants
Portacio returning to X-Men is a big deal for me, not only because he knows how to pencil the most loved mutants in a very precise and efficient way, but in a kinda nostalgic way it made me feel good about the X-Men's future, like, making a link to the past with the future.
I guess this one shot fullfilled it´s purpose, that is introducing the X-Men to a new era, the Heroic Age, and what could be more simbolic than Steve Rogers himself reckoning that Scott Summers is the mutant race leader and that the X-Men is important to the world, as all the mutants are equal? It was a very powerfull message.
Hope and Beast's stories were also ok, but really didn´t mean anything profound to the X-Men chronology: Hank's thing was much more personal and philosofical (kinda cute too) and Hope's piece was a check up.
I´d really liked the ending: Cycke backing up Hope, that was a big deal.
I´m having high hopes for the mutant race and I guess this new era is going to be very good.
