BONUS REVIEW by John Elle
Hang on True Believers! This is the ending with the proverbial "Bang!" It's X-men vs X-men, X-men vs The Brotherhood, X-men vs S.H.I.E.L.D.! Where to start. Solid ending to a pretty decent crossover. Some plot points are wrapped up, some are glanced over seeming to be dealt with in a future event, and some interesting possibilities are brought into the mix. Others completely not even brought up again. Art wise, I only have one complaint and that is there is one panel that should easily been a splash page, but looks like was inserted as an afterthought (with an awkward border) which causes me to knock a few points off the score for this one, otherwise nicely done. Honestly the one major thing I'm looking forward to coming out of this event is the fallout between the X-family and S.H.I.E.L.D. especially since there's mutants working with the latter. If you've read the rest of the story, you'll enjoy the wrap up. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
