Charles Xavier attempts to make peace with the X-Men who've been most important in his life. But starting with Scott Summers may have been a mistake - particularly when he decides to re-awaken some of Cyclops's worst nightmares against his will.
If you haven't noticed by now, I really enjoyed the latest book and consider it to be the strongest one yet. X-Men fans, consider it a must read. Read Full Review
The only major drawback I can see with Legacy is that it appeals to older, more seasoned X-readers thanks to its numerous flashbacks and simmering plotlines. All the same, Carey is in true top form with this book, and even a total newbie should be able to recognize that. Read Full Review
Carey's writing is consistently at a level that most scribes in this medium could only hope for. X-Men: Legacy has been sharp, tightly plotted, well read, and exciting. The bigger themes have had time to build momentum and seem to be reaching an exploding point with the Cyclops/Xavier confrontation. Legacy means "A gift given to someone after death."
