The third entry to Hopeless’ and Bagley’s joyful teenage adventure kicks off with the extremist Ghosts of Cyclops in a tight corner, surrounded by the police. Will the young team of X-Men manage to deescalate the conflict between cops and mutants, and will they be able to retrieve one of their closest friends?
EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN has, thus far, been a book that many people criticized for having a weirdly slow pace and taking too much time to “bring the band together”. In this issue though, after Colossus realizes what horrible plan Sinister has for him and his sister and Jean, Logan and the other X-Men manage to defeat demons of Limbo and secure X-Haven once again, the team unites in a battle against the Marauders – only to find out about the entirety of what – or whom – Essex has been experimenting on…
It’s issue two of Hopeless’ and Bagley’s light-hearted and joyful teenage X-title – issue one of which I really enjoyed for having lower stakes than other X-titles on the market as well as introducing antagonists with interesting political implications. Does #2 live up to this really enjoyable debut?
Bryan Singer directed the two best films in the X-Men series to my taste. This was before the birth of the Marvel/Disney giant; X-Men was special because it set a new bar for storytelling and acting in comic book films.

When I first heard the original five X-Men were returning to present day Marvel continuity, I thought it was a stupid idea. Like many people, I wondered what could possibly be amiss that was preventing The Powers That Be at Marvel from creating original characters with depth and soul. The story of the original X-Men had been told — over decades, and the original run of X-MEN starring this cast lead to low circulation numbers and even temporary cancellation. The book didn’t become a part of pop culture until Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus were introduced to the X-Men in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1 rendering a decision like bringing the original five X-Men back into the fold as teenagers risky at best and disastrous at worst. What I didn’t realize at the time was one of my favorite writers was leading the charge — Brian Michael Bendis. Luckily, he proved me wrong — very wrong and instead of disaster, the transport of the original five teenage X-Men to our time is surprisingly refreshing and fills a much-needed void in creativity that has been lacking from the X-Men family of comic books for some time now.
