ROAD TRIP!!!

Somehow, seeing the Generation X kids acting, well, like kids makes them even more endearing. Adult mentors Banshee and the White Queen boldly go where no X-chaperone has gone before, hearding teenagers on a cross country journey of discovery.Just being ouside the bounds of the normal super-hero genra allows the characters to streach out. This book also brings back M.O.N.S.T.E.R., for those of us old enough to remember the six-fingered hand, and introduces three M.O.N.S.T.E.R. members, Chill, Recall, and Dog Pound. (I can't wait until Dog Pound meets up with Danile Moonstar, they're both telepathic with animals, so are they telepathic with each other?)For me, the high point of the book was the sonic attack that even Banshee's ears could not endure, but there is enough characterization, action, and humor here for every X-Fan.

Road Rules meets X-men

I thought this was a very supurb book. I mean it was a clever idea to make road trip with the gang. I mean it gives a good look of the {hopefully} future X-Men.

Ahhhh.....to be a teenager.

The book was good with lots of real character insights and laughter. I would have prefered to see a little more of romance in there but hey, why complain when the book was so well plotted. Kind of teach you a little human emotions and behaviors, definitely a good reader.

Generation X at its finest.

This book was great! I couldn't put it down. I like the way that this book touches on the political side of the Marvel universe. All of the characters were written excellently and the art for each chapter is amazing. The new characters were also very interesting.

a fun yet thought-provoking read. Recommended.

This book manages to capture perfectly what it's like to be a teenager. Then on top of that, some superpowers are thrown in, and as our heroes struggle to understand themselves and their bodies, they also have to contend with the prevelence of Mid-West bigotry, and what it means to be an unappreciated hero.
