W: Brian K. Vaughan

Synopsis: Mystique aids Magneto as he attempts to escape from prison, and the X-Men, who of course try to stop him, must also prove that Polaris is innocent of the murders she's been framed for.

Thoughts: Since this is the final installment in a five-part story (and since I haven't read the first four chapters), there was some confusion on my part. Despite that, I found myself enjoying a book I haven't read in two years. (But for some reason I continue to buy it. Oh, the plight of the comic book collector!) Vaughan has a solid foothold on these characters, and I hope to see him on a core X-title soon. (Or Wolverine.) Immonen's art, though I enjoy it, doesn't seem right for this book. I'd rather he illustrate the Fantastic Four, Ultimate or otherwise.
