Which has already been done. It makes me really wish New X-men was still going on. And it makes me wish Rockslide was a major character in a better book.

The premise here is that the Brotherhood is the old New Mutants, who have gone bad under the watchful eye of Roberto DaCosta (Black King of the Hellfire Club and Sunspot). Most of the characters in the old New Mutants has gone to the other side at one point or another (which they make sure to tell us, as if going after the negative reviews which still say this doesn't make a lick of sense) and Cyclops has the Young X-men run testing verses hologram versions of the New Mutants back when they were in the mansion.

And nothing happens. And Cyclops pulls a Wolverine and tells the kids they have to kill the Brotherhood. Do I hear a Skrull in our midst? It sounds very Skrully to me. Especially with Cyclops and Emma setting up shop in San Fran, the Cyke in this book doesn't seem like a normal Cyke. So I'm calling him Skrullclops from here on out. If I'm wrong, I'm dropping the book. Which may or may not happen anyways.

Anyways, there is a traitor in the midst. As always, Blindfold can see it before it happens, but is just too foggy on who the traitor is. Maybe a new member? Though she uses wolf in the fold to throw all thoughts toward Wolf-Cub when it's really...

Ink.

Which makes me hate the character even more than I did last issue with his douche-language trying to sound like a cool guy. And they made him the easy target as the traitor in the midst.

My sincere hope is that Skrullclops dies, Ink gets murdered by Donald Pierce, and the kids are on their own. Taking them on a different path. Maybe they could go on the road like X-Force did around issue 70 when Adam Pollina was drawing it. Maybe they can get Dani to join them and take them on the road.

I'm shaking my head at this. The book just seems like a lost cause, and it's only the second issue. The Young X-Men take a Gold and Blue Team approach to their actions and go after Moonstar and Magma on their own. And of course, Moonstar still has no powers (thank the Lord) and Magma is still a freako (which you would be too if some X-men were trying to kill you).

But whatever. If Skrullclops and Ink don't get out of this book soon, there won't be many more of these to review on my end. As this book is just wasted shelf-space at this point.
