Not sure if there is more to this story or not...
I bought and read the ultimate edition of House of M and was especially excited because a friend had recommended it. I read it quickly, as I was very intrigued to see where the story would end up. However, when I got to the end... I was expecting more, at least in regards to tying everything up.
Wanda utters 'No more mutants' and *voila* everyone wakes up back in their normal reality, only this time, the mutants are losing their powers. But... not all of them? Also, where was Wanda at the end? What had happened to Charles Xavier? How long were these characters living in the reality made up by Wanda until they realized it was wrong? I could go on. It was questions like these that kept me interested in reading the story, excited to see the conclusion. But alas... nothing. The answers to my questions, like the mutants at the House of M's ending, became nonexistent. Which is why I would have loved to have given House of M a higher rating, but truly cannot.
