I really liked this and think it could be a good short series of maybe 2-3 books easily. I also think many people that a giving low ratings are being way to critical of something so short

Discount X-Men origin story. Like who cares? No character development, no story development. If this was about the dad maybe I would have cared more.

I liked where this story was going and wish I could have read more of it. It read like the first chapter of a novel and I was expecting more.
