As someone who likes having heroes put through a wringer, I'm a fan of Remender's stuff, but ultimately it's going to lose impact if they keep bouncing back from massive injury like this.

No, not Ian, but Sam, who's fighting pretty well in the last half of the book for someone with a pierced lung and hands sliced to the bone. His costume healed, too, apparently.

I'd have dinged the score down farther for the art. I often had to stop and puzzle out what was happening from panel to panel. Examples from the first few pages: Iceman... froze that guy, I guess? Cain punched Kurt even though his arm is at his side? And I can't tell where anyone is supposed to be from panel to panel during the sequence with Storm.

An ambulance leaves Golden Gate Bridge and drives to the nearest hospital, where its patient is checked into the emergency room, treated, given a blood test which comes back showing suspicious chemicals, and then placed in a private room to recover. That's at least 3-4 hours; how long did that car chase take?

Like the other big event book this week (Original Sin), this seems untethered from what's going on in the rest of the line. Nuke blew up real good and definitively in Captain America just a few months ago, and Mystique was running Madripoor in Wolverine and Avengers Undercover (assuming it's not still being flown around on the head of a giant dragon... sigh).

Pretty art, though.

Criticizing a reviewer's score is probably one of the least productive things to do in a comments section, but here goes:

If the issue has flaws, I wouldn't give it a perfect 5/5 star rating. That's basically saying it's at least as good as, say, Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns. I'm constantly amazed by the number of perfect 5/5 or 10/10 ratings I see on a weekly basis... Personally, I'd reserve those for a very small handful of comics. But that's just me.

That was awful. The X-Men came off as totally inept for no reason other than plot convenience.

I have to wonder what new readers (or for that matter anyone who hasn't been reading comics since the late 70s) made of last issue's references to Victorius.

Ah, that one time when the Phoenix entity destroyed a planet... A never-ending wellspring of story potential, like a nervous tic the Marvel Universe can't get rid of. Others have already pointed out that if the Shi'ar were that perturbed by it, well, there's Rachel over there, and Scott and the five, oh, and that time Jean Grey was alive for a few years...

But really, how about that time Annihilus destroyed hundreds of planets and tried to destroy all life in the universe? Why are these people even talking to him? And don't get me started on the Brood. This is like a UN Security Council meeting with Somali pirates and the ebola virus engaged in talks.
