After that last issue (review), if you are a casual reader or long time but lapsed reader of the X-Men, for sure, you know, you are going to come back for more, right? Hehehe! Because we know we did when it first came out on floppies or singles or loose issues and we actually waited for itThis second issue is no disappointment. From the cover of an awesomely smug Wolvie to the interiors and coloring, just superb and converted us into a fan of Frank Quitely
SPOILER ALERT
Sorry we re-read the issue trying to figure out how not to spoil it for you but there is just so much goodness here that it would be a literary crime for us to not do all we can to make you go read it. So without further ado, if you buy this, here is what you are going to get:
1. Ugly throwaway mutants - yup Morrison and Quitely gave us a few new characters whose destiny it is to remain useless but still interesting - look at that annoying guy with more than one physical face!
2. Awesomely nasty new villains - Cassandra makes her move and while our heroes track her down and confront all sorts of new config for Sentinels and their guards, boy o boy, were they all mistaken if that was all the threat she posed because hey X people she has even more evil plans that are already in motion
3. Prof X - while Beast and Jean help him to recover, they found out to their own mental peril that once again Cassandra has plotted out her mad schemes several steps ahead4. Cyclops - was way cool in how he handled both Cassandra and descendant of Trask
5. Ending - but nothing beats the ending of poor Magneto and his island nation! That was AWESOME!Ratings: 9/10
