    X-Men Legacy 259 Review

    Overview:

    After coming to the Regenesis party a bit late, the team needs to choose where they are going, but an old friend stops them.

    The Good:

    Everything. I absolutely love this issue. The pacing was great, the art was solid and the story is amazing. The way Carey was able to mix in so many characters without crowding the issue was great, the X-men have a great but underused supporting cast. The way that the pirates from the space station react to Schism/Regenesis is also pretty funny. The main story of the issue, finding an old friend (I’ll keep it vague because it is too cool to ruin) is amazing. I honestly forgot about ***** until now and can’t wait for the next issue

    The Bad:

    Nothing. There is the problem of having certain characters in multiple books already having their minds made up, like Magneto, but it doesn’t detract from the story at all.

    Verdict:

    5 out of 5

    If you have been enjoying the series so far, you will love this. If you like the X-Men at all you should read this. If you haven’t been reading this, you should start but you might ant to pick up the last issue for some details on the backstory. (Not at all needed but recommended.)

      Havok, Rachael Summers, & Polaris are finally back from space. And Cyclops has so much on the table, he can’t acknowledge a welcome back in open arms. Mike Carey has written Rogue fantastically as the star of this X-title, She has a warn compassionate side to her, and she has a strong character. Mike Carey has done a good job on this book. And I commend him for doing so. The book is fun and exciting, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next issue. Someone is back and your going t...

      X-Men Legacy catches up with the rest of the X-Universe as its cast face the aftermath of Schism. It's an issue undercut somewhat by already knowing the characters' ultimate decisions but is made interesting largely due to Mike Carey's handling of Rogue on her journey to arrive at her own.Rogue's squad has returned to Utopia along with Havok, Polaris and Rachel Grey to find the X-Men divided. Now, this doesn't exactly line up with what we actually saw in X-Men: Schism with some of these characte...
