For one, I like the X-Men series, so this seemed like a good item to read. Also, I saw that it was written by Jerome Dickey, and he has a pretty good reputation. So that was another reason. When I see a comic book company let a "regular" author write one of their stories, it catches my eye. Gaiman's work on Marvel 1602 was a very good example (then again, maybe not the best example of what I am trying to say here. Gaiman did write the Sandman series). Anyhow, this was an excellent collection. The story is a very nice coming of age story centered on the characters of Storm and the T'chala, who will in time become The Black Panther. Fans already know where the story is headed, but I think they will enjoy this tale as well. The art for the story is very good also. Overall, this is one volume worth picking up. And for some readers, it may light up the desire to explore the author's fiction. In addition, I think readers of African American/Black Literature will also enjoy this work, even if they are not comic or graphic novel readers. ( ) no reviews | add a review
