So far, I've been enjoying Curse of the Mutants, and have generally been liking the X-books. This one shot as you know features popular X-men Storm and Gambit. Both of whom I like. For me the main problem was the art. It's not bad, it's just a little too anime-like for my taste. It didn't hurt the issue too much because it's a one shot, but I don't think I could stomach an on-going with interior art like this. I respect it and appreciate it's style, but it's just not for me. Story wise, if you're reading Curse, you're going to want to pick this up because this does push the plot along significantly and introduced us to Janus, Dracula's first son. Janus is interesting because in the right light he kind of looks like Angel to me from Buffy. Even though he's been introduced as a good guy I don't trust anyone named Janus because in mythology, Janus is two-faced. The writing here is good, and even though I'm not a big fan of one-shots this one is at least palatable and serves a purpose in the storytelling without being too much of a cash grab.
