I'd say the issue keeps up wonderfully the momentum of energy, freshness and fun of the the first two. It also delivers some wonderful interaction between the students of the JG School for Higher Learning. Such as:
Oya given a total personality change. MOAR new young x-students! Because there aren't enough of them already. I give this series 12 issues before cancellation and most of these characters are never heard from again or dead. Like Ink. Or Cipher.
I don't see how Oya is OOC. I do see your point about new young x-students, but well, most of them are characters already introduced, they just get the chance to be to the forefront here. (no excuse for kid Gladiator though. One Alien should be good enough with Broo. Then again, he seems fun. Hey, I'm always happy when they give me kids to root for!)
Back when all the fannish discussions I would be having was on usenet, and doing the large spell by spelling out SPOILER would be the main way to warn against them.
I get what they're trying to do with this, but the school concept still seems sorta forced. I mean, they barely have any kids.
Still one of my favorite books. Still gonna pick it up. Even though it reminds me of Academy X and makes me sad. (Yes, I am never going to let that go. Come on, Disney! You own Marvel now! Turn Academy X into a tv show!)
If only this wasn't going to be totally derailed in a few months with the big Avengers versus X-men crossover, I might actually pick this up. It looks as entertaining as any X-title I've seen in a while.
Yeah. It's a flagship book, so it was bound to happen. Hence my decision to tradewait on this one. Legacy and Lui's Astonishing I will probably pick up in singles, though.
Yes I could. Think about it. First..and well..only season. School is destroyed. X-Men disbanded and all that jazz...so..just imagine in a later season, they finally manage to reopen the school and it's run by Wolverine. Same characters as staff as well as new students including characters from Gen. Hope, New Mutants, etc. Hell I'll even throw in Genesis into the mix. Be an interesting plotline considering his former self being Apocalypse.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

Date: 2011-12-22 01:46 am (UTC)could happen, but i think it's marvel's 2nd best selling book rn after uncanny and it's gold side's flagship book.
it could all change after avengers vs. x-men, though.
