It was kind of disappointing as a send off for this era of X-Men, which as far as runs go this was definitely a roller coaster of highs and lows and just inconsistent storytelling across the board, not just this title. I love me some crossovers here and there but I can't say I enjoyed very many here. Angel and Wolverine's relationship is fitting, but I wish Bobby's sexuality was better explored than just one page of "Bobby, you're gay", alas, they tackle it somewhat okay in the arc-finale of Uncanny X-Men 600, but it's still sadly rather lackluster
