Yeah, that doesn't happen in this comic.
There's a scene that's almost kinda sorta close, but not really.
So just be aware of that going in.
The story is a quick bit of business as Wolverine's cloned daughter (yeah, I know) X-23 is rescued by the original X-Men and after some clever dialogue (patent pending, Brian Michael Bendis). She leads the team to an armed group of humans - the Purifiers - who want to wipe out mutants.
It all sounds very straightforward, but these things tend to not go according to plan, so there are a few twists and turns along the way.
The artwork by Mahmud Asrar and Peterson is terrific, with loads of action and angst to move things along. And I do love seeing the original team in action again.
There's not a lot of deep thought going on here - just straightforward action in the typical Marvel fashion.
Nothing wrong with that!
Grade: B+
