Not sure why (maybe no one is reading them, or no one feels like reviewing them for others?), but there are zero reviews for the X-MEN UNLTD COMICS on Marvel Unlimited. I've been dipping into them and some of them are pretty good, actually, like this one.

"The Redroot Saga" begins here, wherein Akira Yoshida (Sunfire, y'all!) takes it upon himself to go to Otherworld and bring home Redroot, who was imprisoned there by Mad Jim Jaspers near the end of "X of Swords". What follows, while short, still manages to engage, giving us Sunfire's feelings as he truly *feels* the need to do this, to bring her back, no matter what!

Writing-wise this was a good start! After the debacle that was his stint on MARAUDERS, I had a hard time believing Steve Orlando was writing on this. Then again, he was writing it with Steve Foxe, so maybe together they make one hell of a good writing team, eh? If you've been reading CHILDREN OF THE VAULT (and if you haven't been, why ever not??), then you already how good a writer Steve Foxe is!

The art is okay. It had a kind of a manga feel to it, which I don't really want when I read X-MEN. Was it terrible, no, but not something I really enjoyed! I hope that helps! more
