X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

How did I not know there was a piece of Asgard in Oklahoma?!?!?

Seriously, people need to tell me these things.

Anyway, that’s not the reason I picked up this title. As you may know by now I have a bit of an obession with Skottie Young variants and picked this one up along with several others. I knew of Misty Knight and Valkyrie but hadn’t actually read anything with them in it so I don’t know if Cullen Bunn is doing any justice to their original personalities… but I like them!

Misty is a ‘badass private investigator’ and Valkyrie is a freaking valkyrie!

Really, this title does a great job of introducing these characters to the un-initiated. They are strong, kick-butt women without falling into too many tropes like long speeches as to why they are strong characters or too much back-ground dump either. It also ends on a nice cliff-hanger that makes you want to find out more.

Let’s hope this title keeps the momentum.
