Children of X-Men: Part 1 (of 2)
Mutants are now an endangered species, and the New X-Men realize that they may well be the LAST X-Men! After the events of "Quest for Magik" several of the kids have been changed forever, and the Astonishing X-Men are finally taking some time to get to know their students. But after everything the team has been through, who even wants to be an X-Man? New powers, new relationships, new team members, all on the road to the X-event of the decade!

Tired of dead ends with current mutants, Beast turns to the family that has sired the most mutants on Earth.. more
The entire issue is filled with great moments like these and more. Great issue and I was almost tempted to make it my Book of the Week if Captain America had not been so good. Definitely give this issue a try if you are interested in great character driven books. One of the best and most consistent X-books on the market in my opinion. Read Full Review
The first thing that catches the eye is how different the art is. I had to check the credits to make sure the art team had not changed, it hasnt. The team is the exact same as before, proving how different artwork can be in the hands of a versatile team. Where the last arc was clean with a bold colour palette, it has been replaced by a rougher style with a more bland colour scheme. It still looks great. I was concerned that once the setting had changed from the crazy landscapes and characters of Belascos realm to the normal world, that Youngs art would be too crazy for any believability. These concerns have been addressed. While some things do look a little over the top, like Wolverine and Colossus. Overall the characters are animated just enough to convey how mellodramatic the characters are without crossing the line into saturday morning cartoon. Youngs panels look great. Read Full Review
Fun issue. Got me to actually meet these kids. Art is amazing as well
