X-Men, Volume 1: Primer by Brian Wood
4.0

Whoa this was one of the more fun X-men titles I've read in awhile.

So Jubilee wants to come home to the X-Men. That's her family and sometimes everyone needs their family a little bit. However, the baby is bringing something along with it. This is all about the X-Men female team and them working out their differences and becoming a team. We got older members like Storm and Rachel but newer, younger ones, like Kitty and Jubilee. Together they must take down a almost unstoppable machine like villain who's taken over the body of their teammate while also learning to work together.

Good: I really enjoyed the dialog in here. Easy, fun, and most of all the characters felt like a team. I also liked the very last issue since it got to show Jubilee in a new way, how much she cares for the baby she's brought with her, and how much Logan has grown. It's heartfelt and well done as well as the other side of the story of the women working to become a team.

Bad: The many enemy gets taken out a little too easy.

Overall this was really really fun. I love this team, their interactions, and I want more. I dunno if the rest of the series is as good but this was damn fun. A 4 out of 5.
