Once upon a time X-Men was written by a legend who worked under a regime who asserted that homosexuality did not exist in the Marvel universe but who were, as bigots often are, too dense to see queercoding happening right under their noses (like constantly). Later, the gap left by unfulfilled ambitions was by a writer who is also legendary, but in a bad way.

I can't deny there are some pretty powerful panels in the issue, especially Mystique's thoughts on what the true lines of binary division, but there are still some problematic elements. What was the team thinking using an annoying Bamf character as the narrator? Did Spurrier really feel like the issue needed a layer of humor to balance the poignant tone of the rest of the story?

Wow! What a absolute triumph of a book. I have been reading comic books since the early '90's and love it now more than ever. Stories like this steeped in emotion with beautiful character moments and heart really reinforce my love for these stories. What a amazing read this was I wish I could score it higher than 10

I really love the idea behind nightcrawlers lineage. There are just certain elements of the story that annoy me too much to really enjoy, especially with the price of the comic.

1: It is heavily reliant on the narration it left me feeling spoon-fed (Could there have been a way to make it less exposition dumpy?).

I'm not buying any of this story. Reed was able to send eight hands into the Baxter Bldg to create and program the device without seeing what he was doing -- yet he couldn't have pulled the kids through the window? It just doesn't make any sense. It seems completely contrived just so the plot of the kids not being around could happen. Why is that important in a Fantastic Four book?

Huh. I really can't make up my mind about this one, and suspect my feelings will be clearer when I've read the full series. On the one hand, I loved the portrayal of Clark & Lois's romance, which is perfect end-to-end, on the other, the humor in the portrayal of the Justice League felt cynical in a post-Watchmen style that I've never been fond of. We'll see how I feel when I've got the whole story Huh. I really can't make up my mind about this one, and suspect my feelings will be clearer when I've read the full series.
