Well...they're not all dead. That's how much I enjoy this book; I was hoping the characters were all really dead. This is typical of most superhero group books. It's good, fun, and semi-complex but nothing great. Maybe it's hard to really knock one out of the park, because when was the last truly great superhero group book? It was probably the second mini-series of A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and that came out a few years ago. This book is entertaining and fun, but it's been a little stale, even with the change in direction once the gang moved to New York City. Apparently there's a big crossover storyline going on with all of the X-books. This book features a bit of that, as some villain from the future has returned to destroy all mutants. The art is surprisingly good, here, and the book is certainly action packed (there's a battle in the Dublin airport), but it just seems so typical and ordinary. Peter David is so famous, you would expect a little more excitement. **1/2
