Begrudgingly because I haven't been 100% on board with Ayala. This was good.

Percy continues to get better and better.

Percy is a beast. Single-handedly carries X franchise for 2 months.

Nocenti has Mojo's voice so spot on it's perfect. Longshot + Wolverine + Shadowcat? What's not to like, I will read on.

Very strong bounceback for Duggan.

Definitely solid.

Good stuff.

Solid issue. Still not sure what trajectory this series is on though.

Not very Sabretooth centric. With a lot of prominent mutants in publication limbo, I'm surprised we're seeing so much of Melter.

If you don't like Emma Frost, you're out of luck. She's everywhere these days.

A mixed bag. Already we seem bogged down by author's pet characters: Blindfold, Lost, Forget-me-Not. Some characters didn't sound like themselves: "Get up, idiot. Or I'll stick a royal thunderbolt up your indigo ass." Storm has never spoken like this. Some solid concepts though, I shall read on.

I don't get the "10" ratings. A 10 is like instant classic, something we'll be talking about 10 years from now. Example, Hox/Pox. A 10 is not "vaguely enjoyable". I thought this series had excellent early promise and there's some great creativity in the author's Otherworld, but this seemed all over the place. I'm most disappointed by "Captain Britain will return." Why, exactly? She's been the star of over 30 issues of Excalibur and Knights of X and since losing her Psylocke body isn't a very popular character. Other characters should be so lucky to get that type of editorial push. This was kind of a meandering mess and honestly I'm good if Betsy stays in Otherworld behind the scenes for 5 years. Just sayin'.

The Marauders idea with "Kate" is tired already. Bring back Kitty and her old personality please.

Weird art, pretty hokey overall. With so many underserved X-men out of publication, I really don't give a crap about Somnus. The "Captain Kate Pryde" idea is wearing thin, feels like a phase (pun intended) that should have ended already. I miss Kitty/Shadowcat, a plucky X-Man you want to root for. The posturing badass ahole thing is meh and tired.

I like the deep pulls, but team continues to feel very hodgepodge. Cassandra Nova so doesn't belong here. Space adventures and the Shi'ar can keep me around, but this is slipping for me. Fast.

Bad. Self-indulgent, cringe, still hate seeing the classic team as teachers. Still hate the younger mutants featured in this book. New character does nothing for me. Hope arc ends soon.
