Fun ending to the series. Definitely gives me some places in the X-Men timeline to check out.

Ambicioso proyecto del historietista independiente Ed Piskor, quien intentó brindar como autor completo una narrativa coherente a una franquicia intervenida por docenas de equipos creativos, condensando en cada entrega una década de historias protagonizadas por los célebres X-Men.
La conclusión de X-Tinction implica una notoria reescritura sobre los sucesos que giran en torno a Madelyne Pryor (el nacimiento de Nathan Summers, su crisis matrimonial), enfatizando su rol de víctima en tramas como la de Inferno. Además, Piskor reintrepreta su muerte más como accidental que como un suicidio.
En conclusión, un meritorio esfuerzo de continuidad si se obvia cualquier pretensión artística.

November 13, 2023An interesting review of certain events from the X-Men's history
I'm going to try to review this without spoiling the ending. It's an interesting story, and touches on several moments of X-Men history, mostly from Uncanny X-Men #247-270.
It's not quite the actual history from those comics; in the end, it doesn't pretend to be.
Personally, I found it difficult at points to simply enjoy it as a fun, nostalgic romp through the past, because of points where I either knew the actual stories read differently, or didn't feel I could trust that the history reported here matched what I read I the original books. Suffice it to say that I may feel more comfortable when I go to reread this, some day.
Others, especially those not hampered by memories of the actual comics stories retold here, may not have my qualms. In any case, as long as you're not reading this as a 100% accurate retelling of X-Men history, it's pretty good.
