Continuing the *coghs conspicuously* clusterfuck of the last volume. The first half of this book is all about Psylocke's relationships with the three bodies of Fantomex. The second half tells us more about the revenants who brought Bishop back to the 21st century from his child-stalking days.
The art in these first two volumes isn't Earth 616 shattering but it has a lot of creative panel layouts and coloring decisions, and I appreciated all of them.
Much like volume one, I can't, in good conscious, recommend this to very many people, as you need a spreadsheet and a team of research assistants to figure out the events that funnel into this volume. But if you are one of those people who knows a ton of X-history, or who spends all of your free time reading Wikipedia articles about comics, this book could be an absolute blast.
I recommend it for hardcore Weapon XIII fans (I know you're out there), Psylocke stalkers, and X-fans who love it when time travel and alternate universe characters show up and then disappear before anything interesting can happen.

Oooof
-the setup of last arc fails miserably here.
-structure is off
-psyclocke’s character isn't interesting here
-/+awesome use of colors in a non consistent art tone
-/+puck rocks but situation and enemies are boring
-over fantomex now
-/+bishop is cool again or at least interesting, but doesn't get enough time to shine even with a focus
-Rough story... not eager to spend more time in this arc.

Was okay, and not as bad as everyone seems to make this out to be. The Revenant Story could be interesting....may pick up next volume.
