*read as single issues* *rating is average between 12 issues*
#16 - Definitely a rough transition from the event plot line back to this one. However, I couldn’t help but giggle at the ‘Bae Sinister’ part purely because of a club here in LA with the same name.
#17 - I really liked that they addressed the Kwannon/Psylocke switcharoo while also getting back to the original pre-comic event storyline.
#18 - Slightly predictable until it wasn’t. Love a good ‘is this the real so-and-so?’ plot line in comics.
#19 - Anytime Betsy and Kwannon get to interact is an automatic win for me, but the the fact that this had a slight emotional aspect made me love it even more.
#20 - This was a perfect blend of quiet moments (which I always appreciate in superhero stories) and action while also giving the reader enough background to understand who Malice is as a character.
#21 - A glimmering way to reel the story back into high stakes territory.
#22 - Missing a little backstory on some characters introduced but otherwise this was a fun mission and I will never say no to Gambit focused antics.
#23 - I don’t think Doctor Doom making an appearance was particularly needed but this was still fun.
#24 - I almost forgot about the Gambit, Rictor and Rogue Captain Britains so I’m glad they came back for this before the chaos ensued. Perfectly acceptable cliffhanger to want to continue reading on.
#25 - Great political parallels with fast-paced action. Exactly what I look for in an X-Men book.
#26 - This was way too much buildup for a final issues that very much is NOT an ending (because now I’ll have to read Knights of X).
