From the opening panel itself, you'd know this one is NOT going to be a child's play.

* Racism, (or Speciesism?)
* Hunting mutants,
* Religious blasphemy,
* Satanism,
* Murdering children,
* Genocide,
* Fear.

This one got it all.

The story takes place in US of A where couple of terrorists with mutant powers exists and have carried out some attacks. People are getting scared and they turn to a dangerous man: William Stryker, A religious fanatic who pretty much shouts at the camera about how they need to stop the mutant kind as they are Satan's tools for Armageddon. Well, any sensible person can see through the bullshit.


But fear has clouded people's rationality.

Dark, isn't it? Thank god it's all just a comic and not some disturbing reflection of current affairs.

On the lighter side, Every single Magneto's entry is epic!


The repeated religious texture of the plot kind of gets a bit boring towards the end. Nevertheless it's one helluva story!
