The first story seems as though it will have consequences on the upcoming X-Men arc, and the way it teases it out is exciting. It would have benefitted from more thought into why the plot moved from one panel to the next, instead of just doing what had to be done to get everyone where they needed to be. While the second story will likely have no follow-up, it is absolutely dripping with charm and refuses to waste any space, narratively and artistically. Extraordinary X-Men Annual #1 is designed to be a jumping-on point for a new arc, but it's really only going to appeal to X-Men faithful. Read Full Review
