I didn't know that the "ratings" were so bad that Whedon had to resort to resurrecting an X-Men to get people to read his not-quite-above-average series. The only thing that has stand out in the new series so far is John Cassaday's near perfect pencils.
The story is more of the same from last issue: The X-Men have infriltrated this facility where a "cure" for mutants is being made. Cyclops is still been shot, and doesn't do much except lay on the floor and talk some. But the issue makes up for that with four smashing panels of Wolverine kicking butt. It all ends with Colossus, fresh from the dead, beating up the alien villain who seems like a carbon copy of everyone who's come before.
I guess this is THE issue for Colossus fans, since he's back even as just a lame publicity stunt. If you've liked the last issue then you'll like this one just as much. As for me, with next month being the end of the first "story-arc" I hope that means John Cassaday will be going back to do some Planetary issues, and then I can spend my money on something better. Sorry Whedon. You're no Morrison, but if it makes you feel better, you're at least more entertaining than Chris Claremont.
