Poor Salva! Here is an artist who can draw fast with a clear, distinctive style of his own and if paired with right inker and colourist, his work is astoundingly beautiful! See Namor. Yet for some reason, Marvel enjoys pairing him up with people who are great but do not suit him and the end result? Well, less than goodExample: his run towards the second half of the X-Men somewhere around the 150 to 200 range
And here is no difference. Check out the cover and imagine the interiors are equally in that vein. Dark, muddy, rushed ... and dull! Uninspired! Sigh!
For the storyline, it's a bit unique. The characters they have assembled include Forge, Domino, Colossus, Cable (naturally) and Dr Nemesis. So as you can see, there are 2 brains in this group and 2 tough guys. Colossus is the odd one out! Naturally where Cable is involved, there must be a mission and he is going to be grim and gritty ... like a guy who always have constipation eh? Hahaha! And he makes matters worse than it is ...
Overall, it's a decent first issue. However, I expected a whole lot more and actually after reading the first TPB, was not inspired to continue
