  Still, that's a small blip in an otherwise note-perfect book. Between Wood's objective approach to the story and characters and David Lopez's beautifully accessible artwork (clean, inventive and delicate without ever losing the weight of the action), this is an X-book that demands to be read not just by fans of mutants and superheroes, but fans of any sci-fi.

  The "story" itself is possibly only worth 3 stars (due to the similarities to 'Astonishing X-men''s "Exogenesis" arc); but Wood's characterization (esp. with Storm) catapults this into a safe 4 stars. Colossus is the much maligned, brooding giant, fiercely loyal and brave; Psylocke is bold when she needs, but laid-back and peaceful elsewhere; Domino is sassy and a shameless flirt, and Storm is FINALLY back to a tough-as-nails, ruthless yet personable leader. It's gold, pure gold! As was Sabra's brief appearance :D Read Full Review
