^I like the X-Men Origins back-up stories. I kinda look at them as an X-Men # minus 4 to minus 1. There are some inconsistencies in them, especially concerning Cerebro, but they're fun and I like how Roth's more traditional art style contrasts with what's going on in the main book, particularly once Steranko comes in. I think the post Factor Three period in X-Men takes a while to find its stride, and it's often overlooked that Gary Friedrich and then Arnold Drake are writing the title for a bit until Thomas returns for the last stretch.

One reason I wanted to re-read this period is that I remember liking the issues either Friedrich or Drake wrote (or maybe it was both). It felt a new energy injected into the title after the first Thomas run. |
