Scott Summers has commited a lot of mistakes over the course of his life and now his young-self will have to deal with them. In a world where hate for mutants continues to grow, how will these kids survive?
This is actually one of the titles that I wasn't expecting to be relaunched initially. When Brian Bendis created the last volume, he did it with the specific reason of bringing back the original five X-Men to present time to tell a particular story. However, now that the story is over and these young versions are still trapped in the present, is up to Dennis Hopeless to tell a different tale about them. How does it fares?
I would say, so far so good.
For one, the writer certainly gets all of these characters and manages to get a lot of interesting moments from each one of them as well as from their dynamic. This is one of Hopeless' strongest aspects, he's able to create good characterization and development while still telling an enjoyable story.
Speaking about the story, there's nothing particularly new about it. Is following the new status quo for the mutants and how they're now more hated than ever (although that has happened several times in the past already). Nonetheless, the accurate and enjoyable portrayal of all the cast compensates for the less than interesting plot.
In terms of the artwork, Mark Bagley handles art duties and his work is pretty competent with solid character models and vibrant action scenes.
Overall, this is an enjoyable start, is not really impressive yet but it certainly does a lot of things right.
