    School of Rock.......Monsters

    This book is one of those rare books that his all the major points for me. The art work is something I have never seen before everyone is expressive and unique. Kitty feels like kitty and Logan feels like Logan. Iceman is not one of the characters I expected to shine, and this is in a book full of some of the most obscure X-Men I can think of. The display of new abilities from Iceman is out of left field but just made me smile. On a side not I have no idea why they have been drawing him like a weird goblin thing, maybe he is taking the jack frost bit a little far. Kid-Gladiator gets a nod in this book as he fills in his contractual obligation to show up in at least one panel much like Quinten Quire. I saw them mow down 3 different enemies in his book and was shocked at the results. This new Hellfire Club really urks me, I don't mean they are bad I just legendarily hate them, just the way one should hate the main villein.

    The Good

    There isn't much you can hate about a book like this. It knows what it's trying to accomplish and dose it beautifully, the X-Family will never be able to live a peaceful life and they know it. Everything in this book feels earned and intence and can hold anyone's attenchion easily. Even if you don't like the X-Men you should like this book. It's a buy and a collectible. I know I will be getting the trade paperback just so that I have something I can put on my shelf. This next to Gen. Hope is my favorite X-Book I only wish it were a weekly.

    The Bad

    I can't say anything bad about this book. I guess, umm, well, Krakatoa seems random.

    Buy it?

    Yes, there is no doubt in my mind that this should be on every-ones pull list.

      Its official! This new title and its KILLER creative team have won me over! I really was dead set against this series as there just didn’t seem to be a need for it. With the swarm of X-books out there right now I felt like Wolverine’s new school could have appropriated one of them and made it their new home (like Legacy or Astonishing). After a wonderful first issue, the Grey School student body kicked the action into high gear, and with so much going on they even still found time to develop som...

      Wolverine & The X-Men #2 Review 0

      After a very unexpected, but amazing first issue, we have here issue two, with lots of fun and explosions.Issue two really focuses on Iceman over everything else. This is something that made it so easy to sell to me. I love Bobby as a character, and we never get to see him used much. He shoots ice and that's really as far as his power has been displayed. Jason Aaron really convinced me that Bobby Drake can really be one of the best X-Men.This issue is action packed but also lays down some charac...
