In short, if you're an X-Men fan, or even just acquainted with the characters through cartoons or movies, you need to pick up this series. The Grand Design line has, so far, condensed over 20 years of X-Men comics into 4 issues of content, and it doesn't disappoint. Read Full Review
This arc was a reminder of how changes introduced in a series can become beloved and reimagined in so many different ways. Its a relevant message to remember as we discuss the future of these superhero multiverses and the potential for changes going forward. Whats new to us will likely become the next generation of fans source material for their imaginations, just as what was new to fans in the 1980s has become the source material for ours.It shows as well how the details may change, but the theme at the heart can endure.

The conclusion of "Second Genesis" grows this story more than any of the previous three issues and make the final installment of "X-Tinction" seem even more ambitious than even these existing issues. Read Full Review
The X-Men weather more busy years, and this time the cartoonist achieves greatness with an ensemble cast. Admittedly, he starts with extremely strong material, but he threads wild plotlines together well. Multiple characters rotate through center stage - Carol Danvers, Kitty Pryde, Rogue, and finally Storm - all receiving useful attention. Most of the streamlining edits are brilliant; I agree strongly with replacing Lee Forrester with Madelyne Pryor, for instance. The one fumble is integrating the New Mutants into the story. While I think it's good not to let them take over, this telling may have pushed them a little too far to the side.
