This was a real win for me. I love when they set out to do a take on characters and actually succeed. This wasn't a case where they changed the costume designs and called it good. Conversely it wasn't just X-Men in name only. This was an honest to goodness reimaging of the characters in a very successful way. The redesigns are good and there's a ton of good character work, particularly with Jean (!) and Storm. Yes, the art gets a little fan servicey at times, but the overall story and tone are what really sell it here. I loved it.
