Customer Reviews

Nice addition

Its a nice addition to the story, but if you really want, you can skip it. It helps give some background knowledge of the events that happened after the big loss. Its interested and I suggest to read it, but it really can be skipped.

Graphic SF Reader

A story about the aftermath of House of M, as seen through the eyes of a reporter with a lot of problems. Washed up, becomes an alcoholic after her daughter dies of mutant complications. However, with a previous book on mutants, she becomes a go to writer for the current problem, and is somewhat trusted by the mutant community. Unfortunately for her, a serial killer also takes an interest, so she must play a dangerous game trying to uncover him. A sometimes moving look at an underclass, in the same way that Jokertown in Wild Cards was sometimes depicted.

Strong, intelligent understated storytelling

For a book spinning out of a complex comic event, Mr. Jenkins serves up a refined dish of mutant fun. The books only fun was the dragon thing at the very beginning. Now why would nature, or evolution choose that power for a homo superior? Sorta dumb! But from there this books becomes a very intelligent murder mystery that introduces some characters that Jenkins truly gives life in Civil War Frontline (comic soon to TPB!) This book has the best characteriztion of Jubilee since the characters inception and an awesome shock involving Angel. Most of all it's the complexity of the consequences to the characters that make this book a profundly enjoyable read. Jenkins breathes life into these charatcers and gives a human face to the usual Marvel Mayhem.
