BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Marvel thought, hey, it's been 20 years - time for X-Men #1 to come back again. It's funny though, this didn't feel like an X-Men #1. There weren't 14 convuleted story plotlines and 28 leading characters competing on each panel.
It reads like a normal comic. Nothing special here besides great artwork and some good X-Men storytelling. X-Men vs Vampires? Yawn. Okay, so I'm not quite on board with that, but this was a fun and easy to dive into X-Men comic. Certainly worth a look see.
