Horrible collection editing. Mark Beazley should be shot for the ridiculously stupid order this collection is in. That said, I enjoyed the story a lot. Just, don't read it in the order it appears in the book, google a reading order. There are some good ones in Amazon reviews and elsewhere. ( )

The story itself isn’t bad, but the way it’s arranged in this compilation is absurd. The last issue in the volume tells the story of how Selene put together her crew. The first set of issues tells you the end of the story arc. In the middle, you have some stuff about Rogue training newbies, which doesn’t really fit in with what the overall compilation is supposed to be about. Whoever put this together was a tool who couldn’t even grasp basic chronology. Oh, and the art in most of it is sketchy AF or just bad. ( )

Sort of feels like playing magic cards, in the way where you wish you didn't stay up till three eating chips. ( )

While the oversized hardcover looks great on a shelf, the reading order is completely messed up inside. For some reason, the editors of this book decided to group all of the titles together instead of putting the issues in reading order. This leads to a very disjointed story that is nearly impossible to follow.

From what I could piece together from the story - which wasn't much - Selene is some sort of immortal mutant who wants to become a goddess by consuming souls. And that's really all I took away from the book, because if you aren't firmly entrenched in all of the X titles, this is going to breeze way over your head (or at least it did in my case).

At least some of the art is pretty. ( )
