Shannon’s Thoughts:
A small group of students from Xavier’s Academy travels with fellow student and friend Indra to his family home. Two X-men/teachers Magneto and Rogue chaperone the students. Dangerous magnetic storms have been destroying the town and putting people in hospital including Indra’s brother, who is now in a coma. The group soon finds, Luisa, an interesting girl with the power of controlling light. As Indra tries to respect his father’s wishes, as well as save his friends and the city his family lives in, he must fight for all who are endangered.
I use to read X-men in the 90’s so I am catching up with the stories. Rogue was always a favorite of mine and it looks as if she has much better control of her powers than she uses to.
The bad guys who go by “The Children Of The Vault” seemed much stronger than any characters I have ever seen in the X-men universe. I was annoyed and intrigued by them. I wanted to know why are they so powerful.
If you have not read a lot of the recent comics this graphic novel does put some info in the back about the characters that are new to you (or me). I found it interesting and helpful. I will continue to read comics and graphic novels. They are so creative and the art is always cool to look at.
