I don’t think it is fair to judge the story on just issue #1. It’s the start of a four parter, and I think we need to see more development of the story before saying it is trite..

I get what you’re saying, but if they release it serially, it’s totally fair to judge it that way.

It's the start of a four parter, and I think we need to see more development of the story before saying it is trite. I enjoyed it. i think it could have been paced with a little more excitement, as the book comes off with a little too much exposition. Comics should be closer to movies, which are about what people do, rather than all the talk. it is interesting how they recast the X-Men, keeping them outsiders but more as a gang, and Professer X was a big surprise (his article about sociopaths was reminiscent of this article in Criminal profiling http://www.criminalprofiling.com/Psychopathy-An-Evolutionary-Perspective_s289.html ). But I can see it turning, in a Noir setting everything is shadows, with lots of red herrings. I know the X-Men will turn out to be the good guys, and the cops the worst of the breed. Also, copying a little from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by ending with a prose piece in the style of the era, "The Sentinels: Part 1 Days of Future Past" piece was a good laugh. I am looking forward to issue #2. I don’t think it is fair to judge the story on just issue #1.

She's just a young woman.
