Reviews

Not perfect but the sort of miniseries I wish the line would do more of.

Like Gotham Central, this is about normal FBI workers who are assigned to stop anti-mutant crimes. None of them are mutants, the Xmen are a hinderance, and the workers just want to get the job done.

Reading this in 2025, I'm surprised this volume hasn't been referenced in other X-comics (if it has, I haven't caught it). It's the story of two officers in an FBI Mutant Task Force. It's sort of X-Filey vibes, as one of them is the daughter of a radical activist/mother of a mutant whose power killed them, and the other is a Christian father who was seriously wounded by a mutant terrorist and struggles with how he feels about mutant civil rights.

There's a lot of depth to the human characters, and we see cameos of Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine. The dialogue is strong, and the story has been relevant since it was written but it's incredibly relevant in the current hideous chapter in American History.

I"m going to come back and read this again later to get more familiar with it. It would definitely make an amazing miniseries (and just a miniseries, not an ongoing one) on Disney Plus once mutants are firmly established in the MCU.

I recommend this for all X-fans, people who like civil rights allegory that includes characters who would legitimately be involved in civil rights, and fans of police procedurals in the mold of the X-Files.

An X-men universe comic with Arthur Ranson art? sign me up! This was a comic ive always been curious about with the striking covers but I knew nothing about the plot. the idea of using the fbi to explore mutant hate crimes and flesh out the marvel universe in the process is brilliant. I think it it came put at the same time Morrison's new x men run was going on helped as mutants were becoming more of a norm in society but we're aligned by human forces fearful of a "great replacement" occurring.
Highly recommend.
