The doctor creating the cure is experimenting in dead mutants. But somehow, more bland?Īnyway, of course there's something that kind of kills the choice. Wolverine thinks it'll increase self-hatred. There's a potential cure for mutants and for two minutes, we get the debate over whether it's okay to choose to be cured Scott says it's not because it's they'd be naive to think the government wouldn't force it on proud mutants. My excitement was at a 5/10 to begin with.Īnyway, the first plot contains is kind of the plot to the Last Stand. None of my favorite X-Men, aside from Emma, are here. I'm not sure why but there are no characters of color here. That being said, I must admit that this is certainly not my favorite line up. I feel like I should give props for an X-men book that didn't focus on Wolverine over everyone else. She didn't stand out the same way she usually does to me and I'm not sure why that is? I appreciated the reference to when she first met Emma and she had a few bad ass moments. Even her making blatantly sexual comments about Scott seemed more in character and those were kind of awkwardly placed, too. Emma Frost is a complex character but her comments are often biting or slightly cold, not quippy. Why? Because they came from characters that wouldn't say things like this. And a lot of them feel like he was just patting himself on the back as he wrote them. The problems I have with his films were, however. Strangely enough, the problems I have with his shows weren't present here.

He's definitely not my favorite person when it comes to Marvel products but I like Firefly and Serenity and I like X-men, so I have this a shot. I tried letting my feelings on Whedon's take on the MCU films aside to read this. I started this review laughing because I finished this book and forgot I'd finished it 10 minutes later.
