One of those one-shots that had an idea for an ending but wasn't sure how to get there. Some good moments especially when it came to the art, but as it was nothing more than a vehicle to initiate another X-Book with absolutely no correlation to the original team depicted here (Spoiler Alert it will be a Weapon-X Wolverine book) I cannot go any higher.
