It mostly floats on the strength of Dr. Nemesis’ dialog and some very solid art.
-
In the end, there isn’t much here to encourage continued reading, but if you really like these underused characters and have been wanting to see them get some panel time, it’s worth a look.
-
This book is actually a lot of fun, but it does have several issues in it that I think could be improved, possibly even within the time of the trade.
-
What could have been “just another X-book” has instead delivered a wonderfully entertaining debut issue full of humor, intrigue, and, of course, science!
-
If find yourself entertained by condescension and you don't mind storytelling that lacks nuance, it might be worth sticking around to find out how the X-Club roots out the real cause of the "dark."
-
Overall, X-Club #1 is a fun book that should appeal strongly to those of us who love B-listers, and who will like to watch the pomposity of Marvel's Merry Mutants being satirized to their faces.
-
While it's note a horrible book by any means, it will need to go into major "science mode" in order to salvage any good impression.
-
Could this team of supporting characters maintain an ongoing title? Probably not. Can they maintain a five-issue miniseries? If Spurrier and Davidson keep up the pace from issue #1, sure. I know I want to know what science does next.
