Five stars (at least) to the creative team on this book that got me excited about comics again for the first time in a long time. Zero stars to Marvel Comics for canceling it - especially on such a major series of cliffhangers.

Boo on Marvel for cancelling this series. I've enjoyed this entire run so much, and always looked forward to the next volume. It's even more disappointing since the cancellation clearly wasn't expected, and this volume leaves several dangling plot lines. I've really grown to love these characters, and I'm sad to say goodbye.

Some great lines in this one:

Doombot: Well, now I am going to keep an eye on you. At all times. Because apparently, the moment I look away, you will run off and join a suicide cult.
Victor Mancha: It wasn't a suicide cult. It was supposed to be a super hero team.
Doombot: Same difference.
---
Wolverine: Put me down, girlie. I'm in the middle of something.
Doombot: Hold him fast, Molly Hayes! I have plans for his intestines.
---
Wolverine: Why do they always send the guy with claws on kindergarten duty? What am I supposed to do, make paper dolls for 'em?
---
Chase: There's nothing more to talk about. Molly didn't ask for your help. Everything's fine. You can leave.
Wolverine: Oh yeah, everything's fine, we can see that. You've got a Doombot answering your door--
Doombot: I was taking out the recyclables.
Wolverine: Totally normal and fine.
---
A few minutes later...
After Nico and Chase said, "Obviously?!"
And Molly said, "If there's a mutant kid around here who needs help, we have to help them! We're NEIGHBORS!
And Wolverine said, "We are NOT bringing your goddam Doombot butler."
---
Pixie: Sorry, Logan. Nico's spell hasn't worn off-- I still can't teleport. Do you think it's permanent?
Wolverine: Aw, kid. I wouldn't get worked up about it. Almost NOTHING is permanent.
---
Chase: All right, what now?
Wolverine: How should I know?
Chase: Well, you're the fancy-pants famous mutant.
Wolverine: I'm not famous for my pants, bub.

I'd probably give a higher rating, but the ending was such an cliff-hanger, and there's no more to come. !!!
