First in this volume is a two-issue story about murders in District X, and what I suppose is the introduction of the character X-23, another Wolverine-y ripoff. Davis' art is always a pleasure to view. Then there is a three-issue story drawn by Andy Park, whose artwork ranges from okay to great. The story is more interesting here, with the X-Men broken up into three teams in Hong Kong and Paris, and the Hellfire Club involved. The pace moves along nicely and each character gets adequate spotlight. Especially fun is the interaction between Marvel Girl and Emma Frost. ( )
