'FROM FIRST TO LAST' Think you know everything there is to know about the original X-Men? Think again! Something happened to Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Professor X years ago, a secret so horrible that it has been locked away in the dark corner of Cyclops' mind until today. What crisis strikes in the present that calls upon memories of the past? Witness the astonishing debut of the Evolutionaries! Taking the lead for a few issues is famed X-Men writer CHRIS YOST (X-FORCE) and with all this danger, he's lucky to have regular X-MEN artist PACO MEDINA and DALIBOR TALAJIC (PUNISHER) along for the ride. 40 PGS.

BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
The NEO attack the X-Men once again, but a threat far greater to all of mankind rears it's ugly head - and the X-Men have fought them before, though the memory had been erased.
Sounded stupid to me, another one-shot crappy MARVEL comic you don't need along with all the other crappy pointless mini-series and one shots. Luckily I read it anyway.
Turns out that it's a well put together X-Men book with some smart writing from Christopher Yost and man I always love anything Paco Medina draws. More importantly this issue is a DIRECT LEAD IN to the next X-MEN (adjectiveless title) storyline so it's a must read if you buy that title on a regular basis.
Luckily it's a very good must read.
