"FIRST TO LAST." The battle fought in two time-periods comes to a climactic conclusion! The X-Men are the only thing that stand between the Evolutionaries and the complete annihilation of the human race. On top of that, learn secrets of Emma Frost's past and what she had to do with the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Wow, wow, and oh man wow. Now this is what a multi-level, high energy, fast paced story is supposed to look like. Lots of tension and drama and suspense all leading to a (hopefully) strong ending next issue. Read Full Review
I'm always weary about X-Men books because half of the time I feel like the stories just don't appeal to me, and the opening story to this series was just a bit shaky (Vampires!); however, this issue hit everything I love about X-Men right on the head. The art, by Talajic and Medina, is fantastic. It's a wonderful mixture of the old and the new. This story, by Chris Yost, is flat-out really cool, and I love the villains, the Evolutionaries. I highly recommend this issue, and I highly recommend I get off my butt and grab the first three parts of the story. Read Full Review
Yost and his art team are producing one of the best retcons I've seen. Tune in for awesomeness and pick up this series. Read Full Review
Yost performs some sleight of hand in this issue, dropping the tension that's building up around Cyclops onto the shoulders of Magneto. This doesn't sound so impressive at first, but the effect of delaying the story's resolution for an extra beat is substantial. The juxtaposition of Magneto's righteous fury in days gone by with his heroic concern for humanity in the present sets up the cliffhanger lurking in the book's final pages. Yost's skillful work in bringing together this arc's various threads make this issue a great read. Read Full Review
