HARD LESSONS PART 1 When a dangerous young mutant immune to psychic control takes Charles Xavier and the rest of a Manhattan bank hostage, the Professor must lead a diverse group of humans in a risky bid to end the siege.
Truth be told it's a little hard to distance Steve Dillon from his work on "Preacher", as frankly I spent most of this issue expecting to see one of the hostages die a horrific death, and while I know this is not mature title, Steve Dillon's mere presence does create the sense that it is.
