What was a fantastic run by Morrison hits just a BIT of a lull in this volume.
I mean, it's still good. We've got the admirable, peaceful, and enigmatic Xorn (but just in the first issue of the volume, there should have been more Xorn) and the strangeness and bad-assness of Fantomex. But after a volume that just melted your face (volume 2: "Imperial"), it would have been hard to impress no matter what.
I must stress that this volume is still good, though, and indicative of Morrison's talents. It may just be that this volume is a little lackluster compared to others in the series.

This book had all of the stuff that made me love the X-men to begin with. I don't know how fans of the team did not like this book??? Mysterious villians, and thrilling adventures. Intro to the new Weapon 13 - Fantomex. Not to mention a huge cast of mutants. Love this. I'll have to read more...

Holy shit, Grant Morrison,
What the hell happened here?
Your run on this series started off so promisingly -- only to turn into this?!?
Maybe it will pay off later, but I seriously doubt I'll be sticking around to find it.
