I recieved this book early thanks to Marvel Subscriptions this week and what a pleasant surprise in my mailbox.  The book is simply stunning to look at and the store is quite intriguing. The art of Mike Choi and Sonia Oback is simply stunning. I could stare at it for hours.  Everything looks so clean, polished, and detailed.  Storywise things heat up with the boys in Russia and again the x-books are finally starting to get the play out of M-Day that should have been going on for two years now.  A question is posed by the villian of that part of the story that many fans and critics have been pondering since the House of M and I can’t wait to see what kind of answer it gets next issue.  I’m guessing an answer they do give is going to have to be hypothetical but still its nice to see it finally addressed in the books for once.  On the hipper side of the ocean the plot with Emma and Scott also is developed but it still has yet to hit high gear. I love that cover actually reflects contents and that cool look still makes an appearance.  I stil have no idea who either of the villians are on this side, if we’ve met them before or not but i’m writing this wishing I could have the rest of the arc tomorrow.  This arc so far has been Bru’s best work and Choi only accents this.  If this is where the x-men are heading SFX is gonna be great.

Story: 5 - Excellent
Art: 5 - Excellent
