They may be known as the "merry mutants," but the X-Men are pretty much the most morose bunch of heroes in the Marvel Universe. Now that writers like Jason Aaron and Peter David have moved onto other projects, it's rare to find an X-book that actively tries to make readers laugh. X-Men: Worst X-Men Ever fills that void by offering a more comedic take on the franchise. This first issue is fairly predictable, but entertaining nonetheless.
Writer Max Bernis (who also happens to be the lead singer for the band Say Anything) and artist Michael Walsh introduce readers to a new mutant hero named Bailey Hoskins, the titular "worst X-Man ever." Bailey is your typical unremarkable teen protagonist who aspires to greatness despite having no noteworthy qualities whatsoever. Even the discovery that he carries the mutant gene winds up being fodder for more disappointment when it turns out Bailey has the most useless power since Skin. But he keeps soldiering on against all adversity, which is the main source of the character's appeal.
