The world hates all mutants now that Magneto went along and fucked up the world. Oh you didn't read Ultimatium? Well that's good. IT WAS HORRIBLE. Basically Mag goes nuts and sends a tidal wave to take out New York. In the process he kills a ton of heroes and then other villains eat other heroes (yes, the blob eats the wasp...no I'm not joking) and just a ton of dumb shit happened.

So can we recover? Kind of. I never read these even though I read all of Ultimate X-Men back in the day. I figured I'd give it a try when saw it on my Library Shelf. Kitty, Iceman, and Mr. Flame on (Human Torch) are in hiding. On top of that we show Wolverine's Son (jimmy I believe) who makes a small cameo at the start and then comes back for about 2 minutes later. He's kind of useless and the cover is a big lie but whatevas. Either way we begin to form a new X-Men team, though underground, against Snyder who is a crazy God Loving man trying to destroy all mutants. While that's happening the government is working with Pedro and yeah, just a ton of shit happening at once.

What I liked: The start was great. Really shows how much fear people have that they'd kill their own child. Sick but easy to see in this disturbed world. I also enjoyed Kitty basically running shit. She's actually my favorite X-Men of the ultimate universe. Also Iceman and Human Torch play good off each other. Their dialog is fun and easy to go with and a few laughs to be had. The art is solid and easy to follow through.

What I didn't like: Stryker was kind of meh as a villain. THe fact they trusted quick silver is fucking DUMB. Also Jimmy is pretty much useless. The pacing alters from fast paced to slow as snails at times too.

Overall not a bad start. I think I'll continue. It reminds me mostly of most of Ultimate X-men. Fun but silly and dumb. Maybe it'll get better? Let's find out!
