I am not sure I was going to like this book but I did and I did not. There are five story lines in this book. It is a way to take a solo looks at some of the mutants and where they are now in there live after Messiah Complex.
The first story line has do with Sam Guthrie (Cannonball) trying to go home to some small town and people don't like him there because he is a mutant. It was ok story line. It was only 8 pages long and after 3 pages I did not care about this story at all. The artwork was over the top for this story.
Story two was about Nehzno as I was getting into the story it was over it felt like it was missing other 2 pages. I wanted to know more about his trip back home to Wakanda. I hate it the artwork on this story line.
By far story number three was my favorite one. It is the story over a very depressed Anole (New X-Men) and Northstar try’s to help him out. I wanted to cry over I was done. I want more of his story line. There a line in their shows the X-Men are all about when Anole tells Northstar " It's not about being accepted as a mutant or for being gay! They accept me. “That is the story that the X-Men books have been trying to tell since day one. People have to accept you for who you are.They’re is also a part at the end of the story where it was so fucking sad when you see a note has on his little monster to tell his mom and dad that he is sorry being a mutant. Wow that was one of the best short story I have read in a long time.
As far story number four and five. I just did not care at all about them. I wish number three was longer and I wish number two had a bit more to say.
Story: 3 - Good
Art: 2 - Average
