So, let's get this out of the way; this issue was 'beginning-of-an-arc' fluff. It's fun and light-hearted and just a bit of X-Men frivolity. For the most part at least. I'm not too familiar with the character of Pixie, but I felt it... right here *thumps chest* when she turned up at the X-Mansion II all bashed and broken. I loved the reaction from the team, particularly Cyclops. It gave me that heavy in the chest/watery in the eyes "Yeah, go GET 'EM!" feeling. What little "substance" in the story that was there was good, but overall this issue was too much comic relief and recapping the past to judge it too harshly. I am, however, sick of seeing Emma and Scott in bed, discussing relationship things. Seems they figure there has to be a bedroom scene in each issue so new readers pick up that they're a couple. Also, I love it that Wolverine loves beer, but enough with the beer jokes. Whedon did those couple of "Wolvie wuv beer" jokes that were just awesome... and they are the pinnacle, and now all others must cease.
I really liked Land's art, although it doesn't seem that I share a popular opinion. Not sure why, because I thought it was great. Pixie all beaten up and bloody was great and reflected the brutal beating she was given. I particularly like the detail in the damage to her wings. It reminded me of when the Ninja Turtles would get all beaten up in the old Eastman and Laird TMNT books. Naked Emma looked great, if maybe a little too "stripper"-like. The only part of the art I didn't like was the final page of Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Wolvie looked so bad-ass earlier in the book with that cool cowboy hat, but on this last page, he looks chubby around the middle. Thick, not muscley.
I'm interested to see next issue as that's when I feel I can get more critical in this book's direction. But, sigh, Hellfire Cult.
