  1. Isn’t there another crossover about to start soon? I will be sad to drop the book but I just don’t care about the overarching storyline of the Mutants. I love X-Factor and I was enjoying this but I’m not going to buy all the books.

  2. My impression is that the next crossover for this book is Age of X, which will be running in here and NM.

  3. Too bad no mo Clay Mann, will havta chek it first.

  4. I’m guessing Clay Mann will be back by Age of X.  he did do the teaser art.

  5. The crossover appears to be with one book, New Mutants, which Carey will also write. So if you like Carey X-men the crossover will just be more of the same. It is not like the mega-crossovers that require multiple writers to all get on the same page. Despite several throw away characters, I really liked the last arc. I think this is the best rhythm Carey has been in since Legacy started.

  6. @jimbilly – I was disappointed that Zeb was leaving NM, great news that Carey is taking over!

    I thought that last arc was boring, but I continue to have faith in this man

  7. @cutty – yea, thought last arc was built up well, but then was sorta anti-climactic toward the end of it.

    @JimBilly4 – Carey is on and off with me, but agree, have never enjoyed his work more than with the last arc.

    @ABirdseysView – Cool, cool, really think his stuff is great. 

  8. I might skim through this in the store, but I may hold off on buying this book until Age of X starts up.

  9. Paul Davidson? Didn’t he do an issue of Second Coming or something. Yeah gonna miss Clay Mann. His art was awesome in Necrosha.

  10. This would’ve benefited from a more capable artist.  I like the mystery, I thought the build-up was really well done, but I thought it was pretty bad visually.
