Format:Paperback
This volume is a direct continuation of Morrison's first New X-Men compilation, E For Extinction. And if you (like me) thought that was good, this is even better.
Morrison manages to stick to his self-declared aim to bring the X-Men back to the theme of being (mutant) humanitarian aid workers while providing a slick incredibly fast-paced and exciting story that will keep you on tenterhooks and not allow you to put it down until you're finished and screaming for more.
With the New X-Men series Morrison has also simplified the continuity and reduced it back to the classic characters (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Prof X and everyone's favourite Wolverine) and dumped much of the old continuity for those of us who haven't had the good fortune of reading every issue for the past twenty years.
As such this volume and E For Extinction can be read by anyone who has never read the X-Men or who has seen the film and wants to know if the comic really is any good. This story should answer those doubts with a resounding yes.

the mutating mind of morrison
20 July 2003
Format:Paperback
morrison is crazy.he should be locked up in the mind of his evil twin sister.
anyway that's what he did here to one of the main characters.and then he has the two telepathic chiks enter the mind on a rescue-mission...that part of the comic is one of the most memorable pieces of comic story&artwork that i have ever seen.as psychedelic and creative as the weirdest from manara or moebius.
when morrison and quitely get working on the same wavelenght,they really are something special.to bad quitely is so slow that other artists have to fill in for him.or that the marvel bosses are in such a rush to publish that they wont wait for him.
quitely has a difficulty with faces,everybody looks similar.be they male,female,old or infant.but his designs and layouts are so cool and matches morrisons ideas so well that it doesnt matter.he truly makes the reading of his works seem like watching a movie.the problem is the other artists.
and the other problem is morrisons self-fascination.he's very good,very hip and clever,but becomes a bit hard to digest in large doses.too many big ideas and grand moments,and too skimpy on the action.
still,a great book,part of a series worth colecting.viva the british comiqueros,they are still spicing up the whole american superhero-scene.
