While the X-Men attempt to unravel the globe-spanning conspiracy arrayed against them, Temper and Magik work to investigate one closer to home. Merle, Alaska, holds more secrets than just the ones kept within the Factory, and the two mutants must leave the safety of their headquarters and hit the streets for answers.

At a time when mutant and human relations are in the toilet, the Uncanny Avengers have run smack into a new BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS, and, folks, lemme tell you - they came here to beat up Avengers and X-Men and chew gum, and they're all outta gum. Wake up, babe, a new romance hits that will make readers froth at the mouth. Plus, Ben Urich. Alwa...
Great premise, great story, and great art. I like the "consequences-of-actions" and sense of danger that has been returned to the X-Men/mutants post-Krakoan resurrections (e.g. the fact that Psylocke and Penance are introduced as hit-and-run mutant partisans makes sense now that the odds are stacked against them and fatal mistakes they make can't be corrected through resurrection).

The FALL OF X calls for the return of the Avengers' Unity Squad! Innocent people and world leaders are dead after simultaneous attacks on the U.S. and Krakoan governments, and that means one thing: It's time for a new squad of Avengers.

Solid issue. I'm glad Steve is using the past story arc as the base for this new one. Time travel is not my favorite sci-fi plot device, but if Steve Orlando is going to use time travel in the way that Kate Pryde is suggesting, it may become more of a semi fleshed-out "character" for this story rather then just a convenient plot device. We'll see...

PREGENESIS - PART I GENOSHA WAKES!
NIGHTCRAWLER! FANG VERSUS BRIMSTONE LOVE - ROUND TWO! Years ago, Genosha suffered one of the most horrific attacks in mutant history at the hands of Cassandra Nova.

OK...I admit that I have only started reading Captain Marvel recently because of the inclusion of my favorite X-Man (Psylocke), but DAMN!...this is some good sh!t. The story is nicely paced and while I'm not very familiar with Captain Marvel, I'm able to follow along. But as good as the story has been, the art in this issue is NEXT level. Very much looking forward to the rest of the issues.

But can Krakoa ...
I am so glad Eleonora Carlini is back because I'm really loving her stylized art. In an earlier review, I had said it reminded me of what I imagine animation stills would be from a Don Bluth animated movie or "Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse," but after reading this issue, I think that an even better comparison for Carlini's art would be Nickelodeon's "The Last Airbender."

THE FIRST GENERATION OF MUTANTKIND?
The Marauders have gotten some jailbreak mixed into their heist!

Panic in Shi'ar space! The Marauders are prisoners of the Kin Crimson, a secret society stretching back billions of years, who outrank even the Shi'ar Majestrix...or so they think. But Captain Pryde and the Marauders aren't giving up, not with the Shi'ar holding the last survivors of mutantkind's first generation hos...
I know some have taken issue with Eleonora Carlini's art because it is outside of the "psuedo-realism" comic book norm, but I love it. Each panel looks like a 'still' taken from a high-quality animated movie (e.g. Don Bluth's "The Secret of Nimh" or the more recent "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse"). It's unique, but in a good way. Again...I love it.
EXTINCTION AGENDA - PART 2!
The Marauders race toward Shi'ar space on a collision course with an explosive secret, spurred by the crew's malicious eighth member: Cassandra Nova! What could possibly go wrong? But unfortunately for them, the Shi'ar Majestrix has raised an imperial armada to stop the Marauders in their tracks!

Thank you Zeb Wells, thank you Stephen Segovia, thank you creative team. Hands down, the best X-Title during this era. With only 18 issues I've come to care about obscure (somewhat novelty) characters more than official X-Men members in the "main" books.
HELLIONS NO MORE!
