Generation Hope: The Future's a Four-Lettered Word by Salvador Espin, Kieron Gillen
3.0

The more I read about Hope the more I like her. A Badass teenager who has to carry the entire mutant future on her back? How can you not be interested.

This volume is mostly a huge fight. Hope has gather the future mutants, the "lights", as she calls it. Once gathering them one of them transforms to a Godzilla like monster. Together they band together, with the X-Men as well, to stop him. The last issue is really about Hope building her band of fighters and going on the search to find more mutants.

Good: Hope is still badass, as always. She takes no shit from anyone, raised by cable to survive, she does just that. The band of "lights" is pretty cool. Each very different, and all young, so get new mutants type vibe there. I also thought the end built up for, hopefully, and exciting future for this series.

Bad: The big fight to bring everyone together has been done so many times can't help feel a little bored. Also, the art isn't the best. Not bad but just kind of blend.

Overall it's pretty solid fun. If like Hope this comic worth reading for that alone. It could be better plotting and art but it's pretty fun regardless. A 3 out of 5.
