Astonishing X-Men, Volume 9: Exalted by Greg Pak, Mike McKone
2.0
I've really enjoyed most of Greg Pak's work with Marvel, but this book is a mess. There was a trend in the early 2010s of writing in media res alternate dimension X-Men comics. Like Age Of X, this was an unsatisfying voyage into another world filled with alternate versions of characters we know from Earth 616. I just didn't care about any of them, even though I know at least one of them comes back, eventually.
Because the characters didn't intrigue me, I tuned out of the plot, and eventually just stopped reading this book.
I don't recommend it, unless you really enjoy alternate dimension X-Men and have already exhausted Age Of Apocalypse, Age Of X, the forthcoming Age Of X-Man, The Dark Angel Saga, the original run of Excalibur, and the full run of Exiles.
