For some reason, I had it in my head that Dark X-Men #4 was going to be the final issue of the series. I was pleasantly surprised, then, to find that it's only the penultimate issue, and that there's one final chapter of the miniseries to come after this one. That indicates that I'm having a good time with this series, and would be very happy to see it continue as an ongoing title. However, the fact that the book's status quo is so closely tied to the "Dark Reign" of Norman Osborn (which looks likely to be coming to an end soon) makes this seem unlikely. Nevertheless, I'd be very happy if Marvel could find some way to reunite this creative team with this group of characters, as it's a great mixture that has produced a title that plays like a slightly lighter and more comedic version of Warren Ellis's Thunderbolts--and which has proved that there's really no such thing as a bad concept so long as the execution is strong.

"Dark X-Men" has been fun and I'll be sad to see it end. Cornell regularly pulls out clever gambits and surprises for the reader (I loved Nate Grey's manipulation of Osborn and how to hopefully defeat him), and you never know when the next big, crazy idea is going to pop up. Hopefully next month we'll see some more focus on the rest of the cast, as well as get a glimpse of their future. There's a lot of potential in this group of strange misfits.
