Graduation Day already? 0
I felt the previous issue was pretty strong. This one still has some good material along with cringe-worthy moments. Not to mention some outright curious incidents. On the positive side: *The X-Men have been following orders since the beginning. With Professor X seemingly out of it, this is the very first issue which has them acting on their own initiative. Notably it isn't Cyclops who acts as leader here. He has pretty much isolated himself from his team and can't offer neither support, nor ...

The Grand Parade of Deus Ex Machinas 0
Stride: broken. This supposed year of training did not really prepare them for this extra-terrestrial adventure, despite what Xavier says at the end. Once again the X-Men prove they are not yet a fighting team - they care more for each other's well-being than for accomplishing their mission. I'm not saying these young heroes should not care for each other, but most of their battles against their doppelgangers (the inaccurately-named "Brotherhood" of Evil Mutants) consist of getting initially ...

Mortimer Rolls & Xavier Trolls 7
Overview The X-Men are training in the Danger Room.. oh wait, no, actually they aren't. Wow. Oh that's right, story sort of continues from last issue, Xavier has lost his powers? I think this is the first time we have an official depowerment. Xavier + Five Merit points. So issue starts outside the X-Mansion. Since Iceman is naked under his snow form, he refuses to defrost in order to get to where he is keep... where is he keeping the key if he is naked...? Oh well, Cyclops decides to show off...

Angel is Lame 0
Not really sure what the title of this book has to do with the story under the cover. That's one of my best pet peeves of the older 60's, 70's and 80's comics, I hated when they put an image and statement on the cover that had nothing to do with the story inside. I don't like it when you sensationalize something, but don't follow up on your promise. Was Angel really trapped, separated from the rest of the X-Men? Not really... maybe for a few panels, but it wasn't a dire emergency.Homo-sapien: 2H...

Both One of the Best and One of the Worst Issues of Early X-Men Comics 0
This issue has some of the best moments of the first few issues of The X-Men, but it also has some of the worst moments too.With Xavier de-powered, the X-Men return home. The first moment of silliness happens when Cyclops opens the door by shooting his eye beam through the key hole. How this doesn't destroy the door is not mentioned.Cyke's eyebeams really seem to be undefined - in the past they have seemed to have heat/combustible powers, at other times they seem to be force. In another scene in...
