Delighted to see Banshee back. But he looks like hell. I hope Beast can continue the De-Zombifying process.
He needs a new costume, too.
I can't stand Land's art but god damn I loved this issue.
It was vintage X-men for me
Kitty was a bitch and utterly vile as always, glad she's not a regular in this.
Havok was great and his attitude was funny
Beast and Banshee were good to see
Nice mystery brewing and I like this team already
I hope they become an Outlaw X-men team and tell kitty to stick it.
It's by far the best X-book since Red, Gold and blue are now so so bad and I can't wait for them to end.
Gold 31 was also an utter boring read with the same overused story.

I'm reading this and I can't help but notice that this is like the third book to depict Kitty as someone less than nice.
Oh, stop it, ya know none of that's ever gonna happen. For it all depends on the writer, their own selective reasoning, and who's shown to be quickest on the draw. I mean, not sure how effective your random, cherry-picked noobs would still be, when they're made...
... DEAF!
(Even) DUMB(er)!!
And BLIND!!!
Sorry, but let's face it, the NEW X-Men... are just that. They simply don't have the eXperience to outsmart & outmaneuver, such proven, established veterans, and they'd most likely get schooled. In fact, that's probably why they're STILL there, ya know... in school, and as students. This is even confirmed by Boss Kitty, who doesn't seem to share your confidence, in them. ;p
Seriously, just look @ what Banshee by himself, has been capable of:
Colossus once schooled all the new xmen kids by himself in an exercise designed by Emma Frost in a team that included Hellion, Mercury, Dust, Rockslide, Surge, and Elixir. He exploited their lack of chemistry, teamwork, and experience. It was essentially a wake up call to the kids to get their act together.

Banshee hasnt really been a proper X-man since the post X-tinction Agenda era in 1990. This is exciting
Banshee is seriously one of the most powerful XMen.
More than Cyclops, Kurt, Colossus, for sure. In the Claremont Byrne age he was the one Magneto couldnt beat easily, and he had to singlehandedly beat Moses Magnum too. In AoA he was the one who killed the horseman Abyss in a suicide attack.
