Who else read this mini series? It kind of flew under the radar and I bought it based on Casey alone. It was really enjoyable. Casey as usual uses some large concepts built around well crafted characters and character moments. His new Teen Team is well rounded with old X-Men from his run and new characters Ultimate Nulifier and Ms. America. Ultimate Nulifier is one of the coolest characters invented in the big two in recent memory. His power and attitude really fit into the overall theme of the book. The use of text messaging as communication along with the personalities of the younger heroes and villains brought some humor to the book along with Caseys larger good/evil plot points. Art by Dragotta was loose but purposeful with youthful exuberance that matched the personality of the book.

I hope that there are more plans for the Ultimate Nulifier and the Teen Team, with Casey writing I'd be on it.

i thought that the last few episodes weren't the strongest. with this new one they're back in form.
I thought your last few posts were rubbish, but it's good to see you rounding back into form.

I agree.  I was looking forward to it, but found it to be a bit of a mess.  I kept with it hoping it would get better, and it did, but I still wasn't feeling it.

The covers did jump out at me on the shelf but I was waiting for the trade I'm afraid.
