Huh.
I'm not going to lie, I actually really enjoyed this. At first I went in not expecting much but I actually like the characters in this. I didn't read the Steve Fox Spider-woman run yet I'm still finishing the previous Pachinko run first so I don't know the whole backstory for these characters but Steve does a good job giving you some insight on what you might have missed.
This is a new kind of era where a comic cover sucks but the actual material inside is good. Like that cover is so bad but luckily some reviews even reviews that did not like this issue peaked my interest to check it out.
I like the personalities for me they are not too much, or overbearing/annoying for how young the characters are suppose to be.
I'm adding this to my pull list.

I liked the personalities too. We get waaaaay too much bitchiness, selfishness and just outright douchebaggery in young characters these days. It's like it's a mandatory trope for most writers or something. One of the reasons (just one mind you, there are tons more) I hate NYX and Exceptional X-men.
Exactly! I'm not getting those vibes at all here and hopefully it stays that way. Not saying the story is the best but if the characters stay relatable and work good together at least it makes a refreshing chill read. I didn't even bother with the new Nyx comic or Exceptional Xmen. And Uncanny X-Men lost me last ish. A great example of what your talking about with bitchiness is how they write Storm's character now. Like we all have to gawk at her and fall to our knees.
