Man it's been so long since I oringally read this, I was probably only around 13 or so when this first came out. Knowing more about the history of the X-Men I actually really enjoyed this volume.

This starts off a two parter of Gambit and his adventures as a bum. This is mostly about him protecting a little girl from pieces of shit on the street. Then the main story, World Tour, is about Xavier taking his group of X-Men around the world while promoting his new book. Then, out of nowhere, we focus on David who is Xavier's son. If you didn't know, and back then I didn't, David (who also is known as Legion) is EXTREMELY powerful mutant. And so the X-Men must face him but David ain't playing around.

The pacing is insane here, with plenty of storylines all being told at once. I also loved the action here, very high end and exciting. Watching David do horrible things to each of the X-Men was scary and fun. I also think the ending was really well told and helped build Magneto and Xavier relationship. I will say the worst part was the unnecessary focus on woman getting half naked or clothes ripped off. I didn't need a Psylock bra shot at all here.

But overall, this was pretty fun. I can see why I enjoyed this as much as I did as a teenager. A 4 out of 5.
