This was really good.

As the mutant population continues to decline its upto Scott to protect them and so he invites them to Xavier mansion but the ONE and Val Cooper are there and they want them to stay here within the concentration camp and trackers until Mister M comes in, a mysterious omega level mutant and we see the battle between the two forces. Freedom vs Atrocity, history repeating itself, Prosecutors vs Survivors until the big battle when the protesters leave the so called land for freedom until there is only one absolute winner.

Its a good story with predictable twists and the way it ends is very anti climactic and well we gain no personality or characteristic of Mister M who had such potential and the way he goes out is so cheap. There are lot of philosophical and humanitarian views to be discussed here but that does not happen but regardless its an alright one time read showing how in the wake of house of m, the mutant population is dealing with it and the establishment of ONE and the military tactics. It had potential but didn't capitalize on it.

This was fine but a little too short.

Es interesante el tono político que lo ocurrido en Dinastía de M ha inyectado en la historia, y aquí queda patente con ese planteamiento represivo de la situación desde dentro y desde fuera. El problema es que apenas rascan la superficie del tipo de historias dramáticas e interesantes que podría darnos el arrebato de la Bruja Escarlata; en lugar de dejarlo en el aspecto funcional de reducir el universo mutante podrían de paso haber desarrollando historias como la de Magma y Émpata, consecuencias potentes y emocionales al suceso. Se me ha quedado cortito en longitud y contenido, pero se lee bien.
