Reactions and Reviews
a fantastic, Lovecraftian re-imagining of the X-Men's origins. Oh, it may start off seeming lighthearted -- even silly -- but just you wait. Kerrie captures beautifully the cheerful, 'golly-gee!' atmosphere of the early comics, and infuses it with a creeping, crawling sense of horror, until you just want to hide under the bed.[1]
The story's fantastic. Well, (Kerri S) writes comedy that's textured and takes into account early X-Men continuity. It's refreshing and delightful. Shadow is very dark, but very good. And sad.[1]
Kerri's rewrite of the origin of the X-Men, warped by the Lovecraftian ethos. Suspense, horror, pathos and the oddest slash of whimsy make this a wild ride.[2]
