And i have a problem with this book. Don't misunderstand me, some early 100's era X-Men...love it. But nothing can 'really' happen. they moved away from this so long ago, we know what's what...i mean no one can die (quit laughing, i know no one stays dead in comics) and no characters can really develop any issues...the continuity just wouldn't support it.

I probably won't continue with it, although I'll probably get the second issue just to finish the cliffhanger. Great to see Cyclops in his old school costume, as well. I am a big fan of the earlier First Class stories, detailing the adventures of the original X-Men. That team never got as much love as the All-New team, but I like them quite a bit. Both the "classic" First Class crew and the Uncanny crew make for good AA, continuity-free X-reading. I liked this one as well.
