4.0
If you're a fan of huge action X-crossovers, this book is definitely not for you.
This collection is a very focused story about Beast trying to figure out a way to kickstart the mutant population after the Decimation event. A desperate man researching as many scientific and magical avenues as he can, in the hopes that the mutant race won't go extinct in his lifetime.
The fourteen part story is written by three different writers, and five different artists, and yet it works as one cohesive story with a singular tone and no out-of-left-field twists. The non-Beast characters are used very sparingly.
I recommend this for anyone looking for a comic about survival. You don't need to know a single X-Men character (you'll get to know Beast) or any of the continuity for this to be an affective story, but the more you know, the more dire it seems.
