It's always interesting to personally reach the point where a series starts to get good, and without a doubt issue #3 is that for the X-Men : the plot is tighter, the villain is more compelling, and characters get some actual depth in small increments. Whether or not the following issues will stay as good remains to be seen, but this issue is undoubtedly better than the first two . So much so, in fact, that the series could just start here and be a lot more promising. There's still an odd lack of acknowledgement lingering around the questionable ethics of the X-Men institution and Professor X himself, but the rest of the story is solid enough that it's much less of a problem now than it was before.
