Not a great book, but a pretty good one. It was good to see a reminder of how hard these X-Men had combat trained without powers. But it's better to show Kitty is a ninja without having to tell you. The first couple of pages were printed in another graphic novel I'd read recently an was super confusing, thinking I'd already read this book. A lot of books come across as to long, this one was somewhat to short. It could have had a little bit more character time and a little less combat. 3.5 of 5.

I mean, I'm interested in the Lydia Nance stuff and the theoretical idea of Orange is the New X-Men jail arc, but this all maybe could have used a few more issues for the ideas to breathe? IDK.

Actually pretty enjoyable. I liked the presentation of the villains in each issue including the arrivals of the ones coming in the next. It really reminded me, like so many other X books are right now, of my favorite time of collecting X-Men during the 90's. Even some hope that we'll see some of those mystery plots back that I loved so much.

75/100.

Después de dos volúmenes muy malos, estaba pensando en abandonar definitivamente la serie, pero este volumen me ha hecho tener otra vez esperanza. Es diferente, es interesante y la premisa de futuro me intriga mucho. ¡A por el volumen 6!

The whitewashing of Storm is distractingly egregious in this collection. It distracts from an otherwise fun storyline.

Wtf was up with this book? It jumped all over and the prison story was pointless.
