REVIEW by Brian Fisher
I really, really recommend this book… but only to those of you who’ve been reading the X-Men titles lately. Those of you who haven’t might be scratching your heads as to why the X-Men are currently residing in San Francisco. But I think this is going to end up being an important part of the over-all invasion story, as the X-Men are really the west coast’s only line of defense against the coming invasion. The writing by Mike Carey seems to be taking a look at the more spiritual reasons behind the Skrull’s intentions, and the artwork by Cary Nord is simply phenomenal.
