Customer Reviews
Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi had big shoes to fill when they took over from Joss Whedon and John Cassady. After one issue, I don’t know if they’ve done it, but I think they are on their way. The book takes a turn into murder-mystery territory, but manages to keep some of the lightheartedness of Whedon’s run. The art was stunning, but a little dark for me sometimes. I was also happy with the way Storm was re-introduced to the team, and once I got past the idea of the X-Men being “consultants” to the San Francisco Police Department, I really enjoyed the book. Will it be as good as the first 24 issues? Probably not, but I’m still pretty excited about what we have here.
