Review # 172: "X-Men - 'Muertas' and 'Bloodline'"

Sometimes ideas that shouldn't miss end up doing just that. Brian Wood's all-female X-Men team is one of these examples. Maybe in a different world where Wood wrote more than just 17 issues, things would have turned out better. The work is good, only it's disappointing. "X-Men" comes off as a truncated, wasted opportunity.

Review # 90: "X-Men Vol. 1 - Primer"

I'm yet to read any of Brian Michael Bendis' work on the X-Men books, but if he represents the "A" line, then the "B" line is giving him a run for his money.
