X-Men #200: Living up to the hype?
I've been waiting for X-Men #200 pretty much all of this month. When I picked it up on Saturday, I was expecting some big twists, and the issue mostly delivers. As you can tell from the front cover, many former X-Men betray the team, but I was not expecting the twist at the end. I will not spoil it for you, but another X-Men betrays the team on the last page of the story, in a way that is not expected. I would have liked to see Sabertooth in the issue, but he was MIA. I also felt there were too many ads, which means less story.
As for the "Endangered Species" story, I felt it was kind of boring. The mini story did bring another little twist at the end. I was pretty surprised to see Beast ask some of his greatest foes for help.
Overall, X-Men #200 had some high expectations, and thankfully, it meets most of them. I will definitely be picking up #201 next month.
