"Mutant Massacre 4/10: Falling Angel!"

[Kaotic · Rating 4 out of 5]

The battles are heating up! And Angel is made to be a warning!

I am glad they are moving a bit away from the awkward love triangles that have been going on. I understand why they were there and some of it is realistic, but the vast majority of the characters reaction to the romances are blown out of proportion and uncomfortable, making them less relatable.

But the ending of this issue!
Oh my hell was that a cliffhanger!

This one is entitled Falling Angel.As a kid i remember how sad the very last page made me.A real gripping issue ending with a horrific attack upon Warren Worthington aka Angel.

What's the difference between X-men and X-factor? The rules and what it means to protect your dream.

[Quinton Baran · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good story, with plenty of drama and introduces a few more characters in the mutant massacre. The artwork is pretty good as well.
