This mini was not bad, but just okay, the only issue that genuinely stands out to me is the Colossus and Psylocke one, the art is great and I love the remembrance of the Dazzler and Rogue beef but for a mini set during one of the most pivotal times in X-Men history it's just meh

It's just another example of Marvel banking on superficial appeal being able to sell a book over actual talent or an actual story to tell.

[u/capalap → u/Automatic_Ask32]

I have to agree. Outback is probably my favorite era of X-Men, and I did like the Colossus/Psylocke issue too, but the rest has been kinda...nothing? Just 1 issue stories where they save the day and not much else of interest.

Makes me wonder what was even the point of this book? Nostalgia? Is that it?

Forgot this was even still going on, how are the sales? Cuz this book is the definition of average I don’t get the point, doesn’t look like the nostalgia formula drew in readers

It's a 5 issue mini.

I've been wondering this in every issue, why is Dazzler on the opening page twice? You got Storm, Wolverine and Rogue on the left...and then seemingly two Dazzlers on the right? Why?

[u/OldTension9220 → u/capalap]

It’s Dazzler and Longshot. 

[u/capalap → u/OldTension9220]

That's a very feminine looking Longshot if so, he's got wide hips and boobs!

[u/Zodom488]

Thought Dazzler was Captain Marvel for a sec

[u/multificionado]

I wondered if it was set in Australia. Turning the page, it really is...
