– Man, I really love this book, it’s the most fun I’ve had with the X-Men since Morrison. I hope everyone who picks this up has also been reading X-Force, because this issue really hinged on the events of the recent ‘Dark Angel Saga’ as both Genesis (Kid Apocalypse) and a mind-wiped Angel joined the cast. Both are really great additions I think, there’s a lot of pathos in Genesis, he wants to be, and is, a good guy, but there’s the real issue of his being, y'know, Apocalypse to deal with. The little vision we got of the future was worrying, I don’t want this kid to go evil! Warren is also worrying, he’s just really creepy and blank now, it’s a good idea to pair him with Iceman, they go back the longest, if anyone can help Angel out, the Iceman can. Nick Bradshaw’s art was fantastic, I think he may actually be a better fit for the book than Bachalo, but it’s a close run thing, and having them alternate arcs is the ideal solution. And the pregnancy! I love how this book just throws more and more madness at you, it’s impossible to pause for breath!
