Another great installment on this series. Stuart Immonen’s style is perfect for this story - it was a bit jarring when the last issue was by another artist, but actually it was also really suitable and fun! I particularly liked the page where Jean and Rachel meet. In general the dynamic between the “new” and “old” x-men only gets more interesting with each issue. Occasionally the plot events feel like excuses to bring particular sets of characters together (
Havok
showing up for example) but mostly it doesn’t feel too forced. I also wasn’t a fan of the
fake Phoenix appearance
as it felt like a bit of a cheat and an easy option to take with that character. But overall I’m really enjoying this story.
