Magik might be my all-time favourite X-Man and a whole storyline dedicated to her and limbo and the Darkchylde is magic to my ears (see what I did there?) I also love the change in art style for the limbo sections that really emphasises the hellscape of it all. (

Some new characters, and development of individual mutant powers. The art changes a few times throughout the book. Ultimately, good, not great. (

This loses some of the momentum from the first collection - there are definitely some great bits, don't get me wrong, like Ilyana's meeting with Dr. Strange and the confrontation between Cyclops and Magneto, but how many times do we really need it told to us that someone is two steps ahead of the team, or that SHIELD is struggling to keep up with the mutants? Chris Bachalo's work is still really good, and is a nice counterpoint to Immonen(sp?) on All-New X-Men, but boy, does Irving ever feel like the wrong choice for this book. (

3.5 rating. 4 because it has Cyclops.

I love Cyclops and I'm reading this because I'm not liking most of what's happening to the other half of the X-men family, who seem to hate Cyclops. I'll never get that. I'm onto the next volume. (

This is setup, but decent intriguing setup. Cyclops and the other guys who were possessed and damaged by the Phoenix in AVX are off on their own being the outcast danger team of X-Men (while Wolverine runs the school). Their powers are broken and they are trying to keep the confidence of the new kids and the first thing that happens is they go to Hell (well, Limbo) and meet Dormammu. Excellent setup! Bendis doesn't seem to feel super comfortable with these characters yet, but that's actually an advantage since he's trying hard and on his best behaviour and not making them all talk like him. (
