"Ellos están en las calles porque un millón de personas se aparecieron en su hogar demandando que aprueben leyes que les prohíban tener bebés.
Algunos de ellos están aquí para hacer más que cantar. Algunos de ellos están aquí para gritar.
Algunos están aqui para pelear".
Me encantó esta trama, así como unos cuantos eventos más que han marcado a los Mutantes. Son estos arcos los que me atrapan y emocionan. Me encantó y cada día amo más a Emma. Así como cada día tolero más a Scott.

This had a lot of problems, but I really liked this. Probably because of Fraction.

Read this to see what's going on with the mutants during Dark Reign. As usual Scott Summers is the man with a plan, though I'm not sure who won.

- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

This collection was put together in an incompetent manner. I never understand why editors at Marvel, when putting together these collections, put the story together by title, rather than chronological order.
The three issues of Dark X-Men The Beginning at the nd of the volume, should have been the first three issues of the trade. The X-Men Legacy issues sandwiched between the main Utopia story and the Dark X-Men The Beginning, should actually have gone between the second and third issues of the main Utopia storyline.
Editorial issues aside, the story is a bit of a mess. It starts strong, with an alarming allegory to modern day protesting against Nazis (anti-mutant groups) and Trump (Norman Osborn during Dark Reign) but then doesn't know quite where to go. It frequently jumps between characters, giving the appearance of a story but never showing the interesting bits.
It's still better than a bunch of the other Dark Reign era books, and Fraction's dialogue is, at least, enjoyable.
The art even manages to be fairly colorful, which is a rarity during the Mud Reign era.
I recommend it for its importance in X-Men continuity (it establishes Utopia) and for fans of the silly intro narration pages that were en vogue in the early 2010s.
