X-Men #201

One-sentence summary: At least it has Endangered Species in the back.

I have nothing good to say about the current X-Men storyline, or the book in general. It's just bad. Everything about it is bad. The story's dumb, the dialogue is just poorly written, the characters don't act anything like they should, and the art is very far from what I like. I don't understand how wide the range of Mike Carey's quality; Crossing Midnight is this beautiful, well-plotted book, but everything else he's doing currently is abhorrent.

The Endangered Species back-up was pretty good. I liked the twist end to that, and the art's very good for that. It was a very nice bit of comic, but probably didn't justify the crap-storm that was the rest of the issue.
