Reader Reviews
This review is from: X-Men: Endangered Species (Hardcover) X-Men: Endangered Species is more of a direct lead-in to the X-Men meha event that is Messiah Complex. Originally published as backup stories in various X-titles, Endangered Species follows brilliant X-man Hank "Beast" McCoy and his attempts to reverse the damage done by Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff during House of M. With the mutant race dwindling down, Beast finds himself in bed with some nefarious and unlikely people, all in the name to save mutantkind. While Endangered Species is interesting, not a whole lot happens here to be honest. Written by Mike Carey, Christopher Yost, and Christos Gage; Endangered Species also comes off as a bit uneven in terms of the story's flow. While Beast makes advances in finding a solution, we're still left hanging by the time the TPB is over, which leads in to the massive Messiah Complex storyarc, which is one of the best X-Men mega-events in recent memory. The various art, including work from Scott Eaton and Mark Bagley, is quite good though. All in all, Endangered Species is worth a look for X-Men fans, but whether or not its worth picking up is a different story all together.
