- No holding back! This is what would happen!
Crazy people do crazy things. And a group of humans want all mutants dead. People seem to have a problem with the violence in this book. And by no means is it a small factor. People get shot in the head, there head crushed, and so on. Members you know, who you like, who you hate, all will be getting hurt or dying.

For me this is one of the most real events in Marvel cause I feel humans would react like this. Not all humans but some would take this as a sign and destroy all mutants. And so what if it's violent? Do you want them to hurt the kids by giving them flowers? They shoot them in the head...that's how it is when you wipe out a race.

Great volume to show the evil side of some humans and how truly scary it can be to be hunt down.

- A correction...
Messrs. Yost & Kyle did not make the characters "connectable" or "meaningful", except for X-23.
Icarus, the younger brother of X-Men Cannonball (one of the original New Mutants), and Husk (Generation X), first appeared in ROM Annual #3 (dated 1984), written by Bill Mantlo. Chuck Austen gave him the red wings (first seen in "Uncanny X-Men" #437) and healing factor (discovered in UXM #441), in a storyline reprinted in UNCANNY X-MEN: SHE LIES WITH ANGELS (which also contains the dubious scene of Husk and Archangel -- the original X-Man known then as "Angel" -- flying up into the air to make out in front of Husk's mother.)

Dust was created by Grant Morrison and first appeared in "New X-Men" (1st series) #133, which is reprinted in NEW X-MEN: NEW WORLDS (issues 127-133) as well as two hardcover volumes --

- amazingggg!
In response to the other reviews- yeah, this is more violent and darker than some other comics, but WHO CARES? The fact that people are affected by the death of certain characters shows how incredible the writers were in making the characters connectable and meaningful! It's sad, but beautiful and even neccesary for the poignancy of the plot. I can't wait for the next one!

- what is marvel thinking?
i have been incredibly disappointed in the new series of new x-men: academy x, and this book is even worse than the first one. my main problem w/ this book is how incredibly (and fairly unnecessarily) violent it is. how in the world did it get by w/ a T+ rating? it's as graphically violent as an R rated movie. and i'm also disappointed w/ the number of characters who are getting killed off. what was the point of having these characters in 50+ books if you're just going to get rid of them all? wasn't it enough to have them depowered? it really makes you wonder what their strategy is for keeping their fans interested in the series. also, the whole stryker thing has already been done at least twice now (and last time less than three years ago in x-treme x-men), and the religious zealots thing has been overdone as well. and killing characters off is such an incredibly cheap way of trying to get readers, which i hate, ...
