“AGE OF X” PART ONE! In a world where the X-Men never existed and mutantkind has been hunted to extinction, the few remaining mutants band together to make their last stand. Who are they? And just how far will they go to survive? The AGE OF X starts here!
A thought provoking first chapter that is loaded with mystery and a creative way to bring mutant oppression back into the X-universe. Hard to grade this issue with confidence without knowing more about the true story. Read Full Review
One of the drawbacks with this crossover is that Carey isn't giving away the story's origin in the opening issues. It's a leap of faith and so far it's holding my interest.

Carey has a good story cooking here and I think any fan of the X-Men would enjoy this Age of X storyline. Read Full Review
