A review by loop
X-Men: Endangered Species by Raúl Treviño, Craig Kyle, Mike Perkins, Andrea Di Vito, Christos Gage, Andrew Hennessy, Mark Bagley, Christopher Yost, Mike Carey, Scot Eaton, Joe Caramagna
4.0
This was surprisingly good! It is a perfect prologue to House of M and a perfect prelude to Messiah Complex. I read plenty of X-men between those two events, but you could just read HoM, ES, and MC and be fine. I wouldn't say it's necessary, but it is definitely a good read, especially if you're a Beast fan.
The writing was great on all fronts. I tend to love Carey, and Yost and Gage are both quite good in their own right. The art was surprisingly solid. I didn't quite like some of Eaton's work in the past, but now I realize that the colorist makes a huge difference for his work. Bagley, Perkins, and DiVito were all even better.
I enjoyed seeing Beast try almost every avenue to try to find a solution to the mutants' apparent extinction, while testing just how far to stretch his own morality. Of course we know how it's gonna end before it even starts, but that's more or less the thing with reading Marvel as a whole. That said, it doesn't take away from this great character piece.
I'd give this a hearty 8/10. Very solid.
