I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Extraordinary X-Men vol 1: X-Haven by Jeff Lemire (Writer), Humberto Ramos (Penciler), Victor.Olazaba (Inker), Edgar Delgado (Colorist ), VCs Joe Caramagna (Letterer)



 This series takes place years after All-New X-Men when Scott Summers set off a bomb killing a lot of people and causing the humans to no longer be afraid of mutants but still hate them and want to kill them.  On top of that, a terrigen mist is falling and creating Inhumans who are also being hunted. The mist is affecting mutants in that it is causing them to become sterile. No new mutants have been born in a long time

Majik Ilyana Perron has the ability to teleport so she goes to rescue mutants. This time she goes to rescue her brother Colossus who is a farmer in Russia. He doesn’t want to be rescued but the cause needs him and she convinces him to come with her when suddenly they are captured by Mister Sinister along with Nightcrawler. He wants to create the perfect creature that will save the entire species.

Storm has appealed to Jean from the past who is in college and living her life away from the X-Men to help then that they need her but she turns her down. Then she sees a kid being beaten up by humans and helps out and the boy she was just kissing gets disgusted and the kid doesn’t want her help because he is an Inhuman. She goes to find Logan and get him to come with her.but he doesn’t want to go because he’s just back from the future and he saw something there that really shook him and makes him want to have nothing to do with the X-Men. But Jean is Jean no matter which time period she comes from and she can get Logan to do anything.

Haven, their home base is being attacked so Logan and Jean came right on time considering Majik and the others haven’t returned yet. Who’s behind the attacks? Will they survive? This was a really good start to a new series. It has some of your favorite characters and some new ones. What does the future hold for mutant kind of any at all?   I give this book a five out of five stars.
