I was disappointed by this a lot.

I hated the Sophiecrow character. It did not make any sence and was boring.
Also, this story had nothing to do with the Chaos War story at all, besides revisiting some dead X-Men because of the dead being risen by Chaos King, but there stops the connection to CW, period.
Major bummer is that all died in the end and none of them made it to the final fight in the main Chaos War series.

Some of the 'Dead Avengers' are living on after CW, but non of these 'Dead X-Men' do.

The only thing I liked was the focus on the Esme/Sophie follow-up. That was done great and in character. I did not care for yet another follow up on the Destiny Diaries, which was written poorly.

I just finished reading this. I bought it because it had the Multiple Man in it (I have the death issues of all three dupes- Simonson wrote one of them!). Seeing as how Simonson and Claremont were the two writers who first created and defined the character (not counting Len Wein, who was a co-writer for MM's 1st appearance), I expected Jamie to get a bit more spotlight. I mean, this issue featured the return of the X-Factor dupe! And he did absolutely nothing. I apologize: all three got to multiply then get their asses kicked. Weak.

I was happy to see that the coloring error in issue #1 was corrected: When Jamie's dupe died in the Coconut Groove, he was still wearing the original green containment unit/costume. It was colored blue in issue #1, making it look like his government X-Factor one.

I have yet to read Morrison's run on X-Men, so I am unfamiliar with the Cookoos back when there were five of them. To me, it was a bit surprising to see them with individual personalities- I'm used to them being written as invariable clones of Emma. Still, I am going to trust other people's word that they were behaving in character.

I expected there to be at least a word of interaction between Moira and Jamie, as they both spent all that time together on Muir Island, but there was none. Did Sean even know that Jamie was dating his daughter for the longest time? He died after he impregnated her- I'm disappointed that none of this was mentioned.

Given my disappointment with the handling of the Multiple Man, I found the rest of the issue to be boring. I liked seeing Thunderbird again, and enjoyed him having the spotlight. But otherwise, the plot itself was underwhelming.

Still, with a character as minor as the Multiple Man, I should be excited to even see him in print.
