I was very excited for this graphic novel, I had read bits as comics when I was a preteen, but could never find the missing parts of the story, so naturally I was very intrigued.
This graphic novel was really more about Cable then the x-men, which was fine, I didn't know much about Cable and his segments were interesting. The real problem with the story is it was very disjointed and jumped around. When ever a group of X-men were gearing up to fight, it would show them in a pose and then jump away, and this happened whenever almost any character was prepping to fight.
In addition several characters are seen preparing, or are mentioned, but don't really pop up again in the story, such as Canonball and his group.
Perhaps the story worked better when it was initially published and if you have the prior knowledge about the characters subplots, but I found myself getting excited for scenes or interactions, and then the story would jump to the next scene, only coming back to show the results.
Overall this was just ok, perhaps I should have let it stay in my nostalgic memory :/.
I may try picking up the second volume, just to see if any of the story gets concluded better, but I am not positive if it is worth it.

Meh. Taken me forever to read this. The art was mess and the story was all over the place. I normally love anything X-Men but this was a travesty of a story...
