    Review: X-Men Legacy #240

    The newly-returned Children of the Vault shanghai most of the X-men to their nightmarish dimension, leaving Paras nothing to do but resolve his wedding obligations.
     

    The Good

    The moment where Luz plays her card, effectively popping the bubble of stuffy manners we've been embedded in so far... that moment really made this book for me. I won't spoil the surprise, but it's seriously a hoot.  The juxtaposition of the Indian wedding and Rogue's brutal punishment gave a lot more gravitas to both threads. I was initially rolling my eyes about having to deal with Paras' family drama, but the twist put on here made it a lot more virtuoso, actually.

    The Bad

    It's probably more of "adjective-less" X-Men's bag to feature the mutants you know and love, but I couldn't help but feel the absence of the more establish X-Men in this. I've been out of the loop with this book for a while now, so I'm sure characters like Anole and Paras are firmly established in the cannon, now. But I can't help but say I would've preferred seeing more mainstays like Gambit or even Husk in this.

    The Verdict - 4/5

    I was a little cool on the last issue, but I'm digging this title a lot more than a better balance has been struck between the soap opera and the high-concept superheroics I'm always looking for in an X-Men book. I haven't encountered the Children of the Vault prior to this, but they already seem like villains worthy of inclusion in the rogue's gallery. I especially liked how they had a cold, fanatical agenda that really had nothing to do with mutantkind's agenda, nor humankind's.

           The Collison storyline featuring Magneto, Rogue, Trance, Anole, and Paras continue here and boy does it get good! The issue kicks off with a great little action sequence  that started last issue. Rogue, Magneto, and Luz are captured.One of the children of the vault proposes that killing mutants and humans is like pest control. Magneto  Luz are placed into this big power-conduct device that will make them part of the C.O.T.Vs history. Meanwhile Paras is put through the paces and has to go...

      "Collision" part 3. This is written by Mike Carey and drawn by Clay Mann. I actually just started picking this series up with issue #238. I have to say i loved this series from the first issue i read. The same time i started picking this up i also started picking up the rest of the X titles. And this tittle is by my favorite of them all. The Writing is very good, and the art is excellent. I love how we get Magneto and Rogue on the front stage on this title. Rogue has always been one of my favori...
