Gen¹³ #mini,#0,1/2-13C

by Brandon Choi

International Operations has begun the Genesis Project. It is a project to locate young people who are shown to be Gen-Active, meaning that they gained their powers from something called the Gen-Factor either through direct exposure or through hereditary genes. Generation 13 (or Gen 13 for short) is the latest batch of young people who quickly learn that International Operations motives are more sinister than they appear. Caitlin Fairchild, Roxy Spaulding, Percival "Eddie" Chang, and Sarah Rainmaker must now band together to escape I.O. and their evil plans.

Writing a review for issues #8-13C, read in singles.

Ouch. This was the first comic book I read as a teenager. And then it seemed fine. But now I'm ashamed. It's totally unreadable:
-The story is an unimaginative copy of XMen. Hell, even the island is called Gamorra.
-The writing is bad. I can't even finish the whole page now w/o skipping dialogue altogether
-It's crossover multiplied by crossover. All the shit happens on pages of other series (or it seems so).
-It's sexist. And objectifies women to an awful degree.
