VERY FINE/NEAR MINT Written by David Hine, pencils and cover by David Yardin
In the best-selling and history-making limited series X-Men: Deadly Genesis, Professor X sent a secret team of young mutants to rescue the X-Men from the living island, Krakoa, before he sent the now-famous All-New, All-Different team. This secret second team was destroyed and this eventually led to the deadly corruption of its powerful leader, Vulcan. But what if this second team had survived? Today, Vulcan is a celebrity hero who leads a new team of X-Men. But when Krakoa is found drifting in space, it holds a terrible secret that threatens the fate of this new generation of mutants.
BONUS REVIEW by DAL BUSH
Marvel's gotta knock this off. This is the 2nd Marvel title this month (X-23 Target X) that I want to hate more than I want a Famous Bowl. And sister, that's a lot. But boy was this well done. David Hine and David Yardin managed to take a horrible X-Men mini-series (Seriously. HORRIBLE.) and make, in a single issue, a well-told story that actually got me to finally understand Vulcan in a way his creator Ed Brubaker never could. If you're reading Uncanny X-Men, this is definitely an issue to pick up. 8 Grahams
