    Decent

    Intro

    Cover Art: 3/5

    Storyline/Flow: 3/5

    Colors/Inking/Art: 3/5

    Overall: 3/5

    The Good

    Jean Grey was excellent in this issue (hoping for the entire series but lets wait) and Iceman was true to his character. I enjoyed any interactions involving one or both of those characters

    There was a clear lack of SJW bullshit, and i honestly couldn't be happier. It was refreshing to not have any sort of political/social agenda shoved down my throat. The X-men showed up and they fought the bad guys. Thats what people have been asking for.

    The Artwork wasn't terrible and it did seem to flow with the story. Just wasn't a huge favorite for me.

    The Bad

    Beast knows magic now... seriously? what the hell is even the point? why didnt he just BFR the bad guys at the beginning. Its a cop out and i don't like it. Especially since one of the guys they are fighting is supposed to be so Amped he has the power to defeat Cyttorak. The ending was stupidly unsatisfying to say the least.

    Beast and Cyclops' interactions are cringeworthy. I'm obviously missing something about why the 2 are fighting, but, frankly, i don't much care. Their whole fighting just screams "Mine is bigger" "No mine is bigger" and it really doesn't make much sense to me.

    Juggernaut was stupidly wasted in this fight and it was aggravating to say the least.

    Conclusion

    flip a coin:

    Heads read the issue

    Tails don't

    you aren't missing much either way
