Review of 'Dawn of X Vol. 1' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I haven't read X-Men in a long time and I heard good things about this series. It's just as disjointed and cryptic as I remember. If you don't follow every storyline of every character for decades then you're left guessing at key moments, references fail to land, and everything just feels like noise. We're two decades into the twenty-first century and these characters have a new homeland where they can be themselves and at peace, but they still wear their costumes and uniforms. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed.
