This came recommended by one of the guys at the comic shop I frequent. Though I know nothing of X-Men save for what little info I took from the recent movies, since this is a Whedon product, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Woohoo! Was it ever good! The same Whedon humour is found here along with a great story! A good revamping for these characters and a great way to introduce introduce the non X-Men fans to the realm of Marvel comics.

The second part of the saga is collected in Volume 2: Dangerous.
