I'm not a huge fan of Bianchi's style on this book, but what makes the art really bothersome for me is the coloring. Everything on the page just has this sort of sameness to it, and I simply don't like the overall dark look they are going for on this title. I wish I had more positive things to say about Warren Ellis' writing but I don't it just isn't that good here. His handling of the characters is fine and I especially like how he wrote Cyclops in an exchange with Storm at the end of the issue, but the story he is telling with said characters just isn't interesting after these first two issues. I'll probably stick around for one more issue then drop it if things don't turn around.
