Essential read for fans of the Summers.

[Jesús De la Jara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un número en verdad muy emotivo. Cuenta dos historias: lo que pasa luego del fin de la serie Extermination de grandes consecuencias y un recuerdo de Cable sobre su infancia.
En la primera vemos a Hope Summers hablar con Jean Grey, de hecho es la primera vez que pueden hablar largo y tendido. Ellas tendrán que resolver algunos asuntos pendientes de Cable.
En la segunda es una historia que la verdad no sé si está así de graficada en X-Men pero es un episodio entre padre - hijo - nieto en el tiempo en que Madelyn Prior y Scott tuvieron a su hijo, Cíclope definitivamente tuvo un actuar un poco irresponsable pero esta pequeña historia es muy emotiva y reconfortante al final.

This one-shot takes place in the immediate aftermath of Extermination and has two stories, one involving Jean Grey and Hope, and the other revolving around a story from Cable's infancy. It's an OK read, but not one that felt particularly vital. It was great seeing Hope and the adult Jean Grey together, though!

I didn't enjoy it that much. I got into it blind and didn't know what is was about. Too stories I didn't get into. Too much sentimental and all that emotion toward characters I don't like much (I don't hate them just not my favorite X-Men)... so not really for me!

achei que era o início de extermínio mas talvez acho que foi um epílogo ahahahha só sei que achei emocionante e instigante

Really enjoyed this comic. Good character development. A nice return to form. Focus on character and plot, the X-men have always been a character driven comic -- and this was a good example of that. Everyone was given screen time. Nice juggling act between characters -- and the art continues to be top-notch.

An ode to the Summers family. In theory perfect for me, but there was a noted lack of Rachel.
