4.0

So this whole series comes into a close second to the Astonishing X-Men series. It has so many great characters and honestly, the plotline is ABSOLUTE GOLD! It is absolutely riveting and I just couldn’t stop wondering what was going to happen next. This also did a great job showing what had happened to the majority of mutants after Scarlet Witch caused M Day. For those of you who don’t know what M Day is, I’ll be doing a review on that specific comic event as soon as I can.
Anyway, I know that many of these characters had been introduced plenty of times in previous comics, whether it was in X-Men comics or previous X-Factor comics, but I gotta say that Peter David did a good job of reintroducing them and helping you really understand the type of people they are in a short amount of time. I’ve read a lot of this series already (past this volume) so I know it gets better, but I can’t help but appreciate the good quality of this specific volume.
Now, as I said before, this volume took place during Decimation, which is the comic event directly after the House of M event, which resulted in Scarlet Witch doing her… thing. I don’t want to tell you because even though it’s an older comic, I remember the shock I felt after I read it and I don’t want to take that away from anyone! But anyway, this whole volume does a good job of showing the struggles of everyday mutants and not just the main ones that are in Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.
This was just such a fun read and I hope you consider picking it up!
