All-New X-Men: Deluxe Edition, Book 1 by Brian Michael Bendis, Stuart Immonen, Marte Gracia, Wade Von Grawbadger
4.0
This was really good!
Sometimes I don't like Bendis' dialogue, and I was going in expecting a plot that would make no sense (I'd heard the synopsis and read Battle of the Atom before, so I was expecting some weirdness) but this story lives in the space between the plot, with characters reacting and learning and growing in such relatable ways.
The twists and red herrings are well placed and timed, and the art is consistently breathtaking. I definitely enjoyed this and it makes me want to read all the contemporary work.
