[luciddreamer99 · Rating 1 out of 5]

This rating is outside of the reprint story, which is a nice piece of X-Men history by Claremont. Besides a True Blood reference for Rogue (played by Anna Paquin in the movies and starring in True Blood), these stories just weren't very interesting. At least the stories were short, but they don't really advance the Curse of the Mutants story and seem to be filler. Skippable.

Both this and X-Men vs Vampires #2 were a blast.

[Aurelie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this issue to be a bit confusing, difficult to follow. Between the switch in the art and the type of dialogue, it was hard to make that switch and still be able to follow the story and the flow of it. I would have much preferred if there had been less artists working on this issue, or one a few, as to not throw me off course.
