Original xmen #1 for lack of better term review. $5 for a weapons of x preview

I have to say that I disagree with a lot that was said in that review from comicsfx.com that was linked to in this first post.

This comment reminded me I didn't read the link, so I did now. Wish I didn't.
Given the clear hatred the author has for the O5, I think the whole article is biased. Gods, I hate it when someone who hates a specific team reviews a title written around that very same team. I mean, if I hate, say, Storm, would I be believable as a reviewer for X-Men Red?
How can I agree with someone's view, when they start with lines such as

the idea that people still want to read a comic about five jars of mayonnaise (...) as a team they are long past the point of freshness, as mutantkind has grown exponentially more diverse over the decades to match its readership

as if all readership looked at in a superhero comic was the colour of the skin (or ethnicity). *rolleyes*

I'm growing less and less tolerant for people who **** like this on the O5. I'm quite tired.

I truly expected Original X-Men #1 to be something approaching a revelation or connection to the O5 being brought to the future and then returning to their proper period in time with a sliver of memories to grow on especially after Teen-Jean mopped the floor with the Imperial Guard the way she did. But, my jaw fell to the floor with this book and the unbelievable and non-sensical Onslaught/Jean Grey merger(?) leaving me to question -- How and why the hell did the Onslaught entity come back for this after that lusterless ending that occurred in The Onslaught Revelation?

So… I slogged through this to find out who was getting left behind… and it didn’t happen.. what a waste. Zero interest in Weapon X-men.
