I was skeptical when I read the solicits for this series about how they would get Laura to a place where she'd be not only on Revelation's side in this event but also taking the mantle of Sabretooth. I really liked Schultz's Laura series up to this point, though, and gave her the benefit of the doubt that there was going to be some continuity in characterization.

It's really irritating that the users on this site most devoted to reviewing X-Men are hate-readers who don't even pretend to be acting in good faith.

Because of their bs, I was tempted to rate this one-shot higher than I think it deserves, just to even things out a bit, but I won't.

I thought the choice to position Thor as the hero to challenge the others to explain why they should continue to resist Doom's rule was a smart decision. There has always been a tension in Marvel comics between the way pro-democracy rhetoric in most comics sits side-by-side by treatments of monarchy or even autocracy that present that form of rule as a legitimate and potentially even beneficial sy I thought the choice to position Thor as the hero to challenge the others to explain why they should continue to resist Doom's rule was a smart decision.

I was eager to see some of the team members who have not yet appeared, but it's probably best for them to be introduced more gradually. I'm neither for or against the Natasha/Bucky romance, but more importantly it seems like they have complementary skills as team leaders but also differing m.o.'s, so it should be interesting to watch that play out.

I thought this issue was an improvement on the first Giant-Size. I enjoyed Rod Reis's work in New Mutants and I thought he acquitted himself really well here, especially in some of the smaller panels that focused on characters' reactions and expressions (close-ups, in other words). The story didn't have to squeeze in so much but Lanzing and Kelly also integrated the Legion stuff into the classic s I thought this issue was an improvement on the first Giant-Size.

Although this issue was rightly focused on Emma, there were a few panels that acknowledged the conflicted feelings that Kitty must have been experiencing as she saw Emma laid flat and near death. Just because Kate is my favorite character, I wish she had been given some more space for those feelings, although in the middle of an emergency she seldom wastes time emoting.

Vying to be my favorite current ongoing.

This is likely my fault rather than Gillen's but Etienne is the only character whose power set I feel like I understand. This may be a series that will be much more enjoyable when it's collected in an omnibus.

I thought Camp couldn't top #2. I don't think this does, but it's not far off.
