My prior knowledge of X-men is entirely based on the 90's cartoon so it was good to read a different take on the original source material. The writing does really well at portraying the characters as actual teenagers and makes them flawed and human. McKelvie's art helps support that youthful quality and is as clean and sharp and fresh as ever. That said, I'm writing this months after reading it and can barely remember anything that happened in it, other than I loved the art, and the characterisation was strong. Take that how you will.
