Utopia X - Uncanny X-Me #513 Vol 1: The beginning of Utopia X and Dark X-Men was awesome, truly Matt Fraction did an excellent storytelling work by exposing the schism between Scott Summers and Emma Frost; maybe this could be a hint of Jean Grey resurrection or maybe Fraction tried to add some spice to their relation by creation this abyss in their ideals, but let’s hope Jean doesn’t come back because she is turning into a joke by her frequent resurrections.

There are a few gaps in the story, like why the hell Beast was abducted as Professor X, it almost contradicts X-Men Legacy but maybe those gaps are going to be explained later. Another good point in the story it’s the upgrade of Cloak and Dagger to a more prominent role in the Marvel Universe, it’s kind of cool to see some minor characters taking a more prominent spot (also Mimic).

I highly recommend collecting the Prologue of Dark X-Men because the concussion sounds more promising than the Messiah War who Cable and Hope ended more into the future.

Exiles #4 Volume 2: I know I said I wasn’t going to collect this title on a regular basis anymore but I couldn’t resist to know that the Blink introduced in this relaunch it’s the original Blink and I guess that is a good reason to read this title. Other good thing that it seems to appeared again it’s the reintroduction of killing a number of supporting characters in certain numbers of issues, the first one of the relaunch to go was the alternative Lorna Dane who was vivisected by an alternative Jocasta. I can’t wait to read the next issue.
