Silvestri drew these 4 issues with an intensity rarely seen in comicbook storytelling these days, He brought so much drama and atmosphere to the script that the story crackled with excitement the way few comics have in the past decade. It's his very best sequential work as far as I'm concerned.

I agree completely, Thomas, and thank you for your thoughtful comment! Seeing Silvestri's new characterizations of old, familiar X-stuff was riveting, while at the same time serving to put the reader off-balance. A broken-down Sentinel as defender of humankind! Cassandra Nova as leader of the X-Men! Beak and Angel's grandson Tito, a badass 6-foot tall falcon! Fantomex's old UFO as a sexy robot! Evil perversions of Henry McCoy and Kurt Wagner! And of course Wolverine looking exactly the same :)

the story was amazing. I can't think of another artist, not even X-Men icons jim Lee or john Byrne imbuing  the characters especially Rover with so much humanity. I started to tear up a few times. 16 years later I still feel this is one of the best stories I've read and Silvestri's Magnum opus

That first panel is just so poignantly and intricately handled. It's a great example of the full arsenal that Marc brought to bear on this storyline. Kudos, Doc!

I may be wrong, but Silvestri's talent is on par with the other Image guy....too bad Marc has done little interior work.  His work on NXM was just stellar

Thanks for the kind words, Carlo! I love Silvestri's New X-Men work so much!
