This is the third prose novel I've read from Titan Books and this is my favourite. I've always been a big fan of X-Men despite their funky cinematic timelines, and this book helped strengthen that.
I really admire how Stuart Moore keeps Jean Grey as the focus, whether it be through hers or someone else's perspective. And the way he expresses her powers is so much more exciting than anything in the cinematic world. This book is everything I wish the films were, absolutely fantastic.
