Rereading this book is a bit like watching someone juggle chainsaws. It’s impressive, but I have to wonder why the person chose to make things so hard for themselves. This book does too many things. It does them very well, shockingly well, but I still think it’s too much, and I’d be just as impressed if those chainsaws were something lighter and less scary, and I’d be less concerned.

Also, I’m rereading this just after the first Issue of Rise of the Powers of X has released, and there are many juicy secrets seeded throughout, and I think the answer to multiple of them are in the second half of this trade.
