X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

That was great! But was that all?

We have a multi issue setup with the siblings that Dazzler/Mystique implanted in the school, we get the cliffhanger in the last issue, then things start to go south. This should all culminate in something really fun and explosive, but in reality, it’s ‘stuff we already know’. Literally, Joseph gives his sister the same tour Broo gave him, that we’ve already seen, and then that’s it. His sister is knocked out and Joseph makes the call to just forget any of this ever happened. On the surface it’s a poignant moment but it’s just kinda thrown out there after the reshash of the tour. This could have really been something but it was cut off at the legs.

This is partly because half of this issue was spend dedicated to Wolverine. Here we get a little heart to heart between Wolvie and Scott which is actually really good… but it’s buried in this title. This is the kind of thing that should be happening in the lead X-Men titles. Get these two sorted out and move on with the universe. Though can we please not make it all about their pissing match over Jean? That’s all I ask!

I know… I ask to much.
