Way darker than I was expecting but really really good nonetheless. ( )

I picked this up around the time that last Wolverine movie came out because it was supposed to have some of X-23’s storyline in it. She isn’t in this issue. The story itself isn’t terrible but it’s not that great either. The characters so far seem shallow and cliche. They’re all throw-aways. ( )

It was a surprise for me to read something that was not X-Men, but this book is amazing. The art is solid and the text was really mature. Some really awesome characters ever, Kidden and Laura being my favorites. A must read. Mutants with no real conection with the X-Men for adults. ( )

Not really bad, but a bit incomplete and incoherent as a volume. Too much "slice of life" flitting about, not enough story and plot. ( )

excerpt from my full review here: http://angeltyuan.blogspot.com/2010/02/review-nyx-wannabe.html

A very different kind of mutant superhero story, with empowered female leads, a diverse cast, and the visceral backdrop of New York City's most run-down sectors. I was quite engaged in each of the characters stories and personalities, but perhaps due to its 7-issue limited run, a lot of potential left unexplored. ( )
