Review

A solid first volume that sets the stage and nails the tension between these two groups. They’ve got nearly identical goals, but that’s exactly why the whole thing feels like it could explode at any moment. The fight scenes? Brutal and brilliantly done—showing off the raw, ugly violence of humanity’s racism toward mutants in full force.

That said, a little more backstory on the characters would help, especially since it’s a fresh universe we’re diving into. But hey, that’s what the next volumes are for, right?
