There's basically a bunch of one shots all put into one. They loosely connect here but can read each one by themselves.

The re-launch of X-men is huge, because it has kind of been meh for years now. Hickman did amazing things with event of X-Men but now he's recruited his real life team of X-Men to create the universe once more. This time we have multiple series like X-Force, New Mutants, Fallen Angels, and more going along side X-Men the main series. The results? A mixed bag of course.

Some of the stronger titles stand out like the main line X-Men here, which is more down to earth than maybe expected, but great characterization of a lot of characters. Then you have the more outlandish fun adventures of things like Marauders and New Mutants. The darker and grimier Fallen angels or X-Force. And then got Excalibur, which is a mindtrip. Some are stronger than others (X-Men/X-Force/Marauders) and some are good but not great (Fallen Angel/New Mutants) and some I have pretty much no interest in (Excalibur) but what's important here is they all come together to give different flavors. I'd find it odd if you don't get attached to least a couple of these. A 4 out of 5 for pushing the X-men brand in a new and much better direction.
