3.0
A welcome change from the overly serious, crossover heavy, all-muscled, sexied-up, million characters per issue X-books. [a:Chris Bachalo|12726|Chris Bachalo|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1473385167p2/12726.jpg]'s art helps point Lobdell's writing in a different direction. This is a borderline goofy book filled with serious characters in absurd events. There aren't Universe Changing Stakes, there are just small adventures, sometimes against familiar X-villains.
I can't emphasize enough the inmportance of Bachalo's art in this series. He was someone whose art in the very early 2000s I hated. But the softer linework he used in the 90s still looks great twenty years later, and the way he toyed with panels, backgrounds, and showing mutants' powers is vastly different from any other 90s art.
