X-Men: Legacy #24

In a way, Spurrier has been allowed to do something hugely subversive with this book, a story that rejects the typical super-hero storyline, rejects the ideas behind a continuous ongoing continuity and even rejects the readers attachment to continuity itself. Ill miss this series, but Im grateful that Ill have this complete story to revisit, from its beginning, through its middle, and even its bittersweet and final end. Read Full Review

It's both self contained and reaches out to much of the mutant titles of recent years. It's a work of art and clearly a trade you should consider picking up if you haven't been collecting the issues on their release. Read Full Review

This series had some great moments, but overall it was just kinda okay. Spurrier is one of my favourite writers, but I felt like his script was far too muddled far too much of the time.

I'm glad I read it, but I don't think I'd read it again.
