Yeah, I wish that I could say this is a bold new direction for the X-Men, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. “Manifest Destiny” has started out like most X-stories, buried in continuity and marred by attempts to keep up with all that’s gone on in the X-world in the last couple of years. Also, I understand the need to pair up big-name creators, but having Brubaker, Fraction, Dodson(s) and Land all on the same book, trading off pages and whatnot, just makes for a very disjointed feeling. Also, I wasn’t sure if the changes in art were supposed to mark points in the story, or if they were just happening randomly. The redeeming factors would be the gorgeous covers, in spite of the fact there were half a dozen of them.

After reading all I could do was yawn and reach for the next in the stack.
