If Extraordinary X-Men is meant to be the new flagship title of the X-Men line, it's not doing much to build enthusiasm for the state of the X-Men in All-New, All-Different Marvel. The series' status quo merely cherry picks familiar elements from X-Men stories of yesteryear. Once again, mutants find themselves an endangered species, battling persecution at every turn and even dealing with another deadly pandemic. New writer Jeff Lemire hasn't done enough in these first two issues to develop a unique voice and leave his mark on the franchise.
It would help if these early issues weren't focusing so much attention on building the new X-Men lineup rather than diving into the current threats facing mutantkind. There's little tangible sense of progression in this issue as Magik and Colossus continue their hunt for Nightcrawler, Jean wrestles over the question of whether to rejoin the team and Old Man Logan plays the cranky loner. It's not as if any of the roster choices in this book are particularly unusual, so why spend so much time bringing the band together?
