I really liked this issue, and it makes me sad that this series is going to focus on the dark…
Read full review and commentsI’m pretty sure this was my last issue with this. It doesn’t read like it is an Angel book anymore…

Great Pick!
I would also say that all the people that love Incredible Hercules, of which their seem to be many on the site(me included), should check this out. The writing is on par and in a similar goofy vein and the art is superb.
Totally agree with the Conner/Maguire comparison. The changing facial expressions on Satanna's tiger guard behind her while her badger sidekick is ranting are priceless.
@Mangaman a Marvel/Square/Disney crossover would be cool, but considering Disney and Squeenix have been butting heads alot recently(according to the video game sites and whatnot), I wouldn't hold my breath.
@ivithebatmanivi Gargoyles has been a comic for quite some time now I believe.
But the biggest thing everybody is overlooking is the greatest possible duck mashup ever:
Donald Duck vs. Howard the Duck!
I think people might be calling this contrived because Trask and the whole porposition to ban mutant birth story element kind of came back out of nowhere kind of(I think he actally popped up in the first Xforce arc, but I dropped that book so I could be wrong). I don't have that much of a problem with it, but I think that might be what it is.
I personally am a little bored with the series right now though, since the formation of the dark team in the first chapter, it doesn't seem like any thing of significance has really happened and there are only 2 issues left. Plus, I think I can see what the end is going to be already. The X-men will rescue the people in lockup and are tottally going to ceceed from the US and form a new mutant nation in a cool underwater base, but the Dark team is still going to be around and be the official team under Osborn's rule for the duration of dark reign, however long that may be.
I was very let down by the end of this. From what I could tell, it just basically reset Cable and Xforce back to where they were before this started. So in the end what we get out of this is, Apocalypse is back. Feh.
@Jimski I agree with what you said about the art. I'm not fan of Crain's style.
