What
you need to know: Mutant X is based in a parallel
universe, where the Six (Havok, Bloodstorm, the Brute, Iceman, Gambit and
Captain America) led by Havok, have achieved Xavier's dream of peaceful
co-existence between mutants and humans. After being trapped in an
explosion, Havok's consciousness was transferred into the body of the Mutant
X Havok. He finds himself surrounded by familiar names, but the faces
are very different.
Summary
of the storyline: This storyline deals with
the Professor X of the Mutant X world, along with many of the "villains"
of the Marvel Universe, who are actually good guys here. It basically
ends up in a slightly different version of the Onslaught saga, but without
the far-reaching effects.
Scott's
Say: While this title started off with a bang, it has
lost its direction in recent issues. Its stories have become nothing
more than rehashes of stories that have come before, such as the Inferno
Saga and Onslaught, only without the impact of the originals. Partly
due to the fact that we've seen it before, and partly due to the fact that
the characters, while potentially more interesting, aren't focused on enough
to get to know them. The only reason I continue to buy this title
is due to the upcoming "decision" by Havok to stay in the Mutant X world
or return to the regular Marvel Universe.
