forget the core titles. the fringe is where the quality is,
By spacedog "spacedog7" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystique Volume 1: Dead Drop Gorgeous TPB: Dead Drop Gorgeous v. 1 (Paperback)
of the past ten or so story arcs i've read among grant morrison's run on new x-men, chuck austen's on uncanny, and chris claremont's on x-treme x-men, not one of them even comes close to the first arc of the solo title mystique, centered on everyone's favorite x-men universe villainess. the core titles' writing has been consistently ridiculously farfetched, slow, or untrue to the characters, and oftentimes all of the above. but vaughan's take on mystique is of the quality of ultimate x-men: loads of great action with surprisingly fresh twists in plot and in characters' powers and personalities. the title has mystique working for xavier as his private 007, and in this first arc she is sent to cuba to avert an international mutant vs human crisis. vaughan's interpretation of mystique's personality is occasionally a bit off and his plot is a bit manipulative at times. he gets mystique's sarcasm and cockiness but doesn't quite successfully figure out how to deal with her sometimes conflicting emotions and motivations. but despite the wobbles on the emotional side (which hopefully will be smoothed out in future story arcs) this one is a definite winner, especially when coupled with some great artwork from jorge lucas. a must read, esp. if you've liked ultimate x-men.

AWESOME!,
By bydo empire "bydo empire" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystique Volume 1: Dead Drop Gorgeous TPB: Dead Drop Gorgeous v. 1 (Paperback)
After seeing all the Marvel films of late, I wondered how they compared to the actual current comics. I started reading the highest rated series I could find, namely Astonishing X-Men and this one. Both are great, but I have to say that this is the best X-book I've read in the past few years. The entire 4 volume set is amazing, but I think this one slightly outshines the remaining 3. In short, it's the most entertaining Marvel book I've read.

Keeps the bar up,
By gargunkle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystique Volume 1: Dead Drop Gorgeous TPB: Dead Drop Gorgeous v. 1 (Paperback)
If you are like other items by this author (such as Runaways, Ex Machina, or Y: The Last Man) you should like this one too. It's right up there. Good story, makes me interested in a character I otherwise wouldn't have cared that much about. Good art also.
