BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ELLE
I’m not a regular buyer of X-men comics. Once a year I’ll pick one up, leaving it to chance on whether I hit the jackpot, or regret that I didn’t buy a milk shake, or maybe a couple Marvel Tales back issues, instead. But no worries this time. Yes, it’s a jackpot, with a number #1 that does it’s job. Number ones should give me setup, which they do here, like telling me this is a world that lost it’s ability to produce new mutants, with a single, solitary exception. They should make me care, too, which it does by focusing on the expectations surrounding one character, but leaving important details for later. Writer Craig Kyle keeps it simple, walking me slowly through the X-men world, with David Finch’s art spellbinding me with details. Overall it’s a good issue to buy; I suggest skipping the Marvel Tales this month. They’ll still have some next month.
