X-Men, Volume 1: Primer
by Brian Wood
The first arc with Arkea was extremely boring for me. I don't understand why Brian Wood just handed Jubilee a baby. This is the second time an X-Men story revolved around some type of techno virus villain. I didn't care when Whedon did it and I don't care now. The art was pretty and that's about all the good I have to say about that.
The second part wasn't really an arc as it was a one shot story wherein the X-Men try to save passengers in a falling plane. I really enjoyed that story! Even without fully understanding why Rachel was being so cold towards Ororo, I was intrigued. I loved Psylocke and Rogue working together. I really enjoyed the subplot with Wolverine hanging out with Jubilee and Shogo. A very solid issue.
I even enjoyed the throwback issue to when Jubilee first met the X-Men. It was a really great issue full of strong female characters that I actually care about. I have to say, this is my favorite X-Men lineup from any book I've read so far. Storm, Jubilee, Psylocke, Dazzler and Rogue. I love seeing them work together, there was some humor here but most importantly, I love that Jubilee admires their pride in their abilities. Plus, they went to a male strip club, haha.
Anyway, as a whole, this was pretty bland but the last 40 or so pages were great.
3 stars.
