A fun beginning to a classic X-men space story. Since picking back up on reading these X-books, I'd been a little unsure of mixing all of the titles together. This one brought the reasoning back for me though, this story would be so odd coming right after the Crucible story of X-Men 7, instead playing out of references to the first New Mutants arc. So having it come right after the most recent New Mutants story worked real well. It was nice to see Broo (although I don't remember his deal, is he really a mutant in some way? How can he go through gates? I guess nonmutants can go through gates when invited or something, right?) I am excited to see where this one goes. Also, I especially liked the art, as it was not done by Leinil Yu.
