The Good
Art was very colorful and vibrant contrasting with the macabre vampire tale that it told. Cover- This cover shows a devastatingly beautiful Bloodstorm with Gambit. This is easily my favorite rendition of Bloodstorm.
Story- This story fills in the gaps of how Gambit became a vampire in the main Mutant X series and also explains his relationship to Bloodstorm. The children introduced in this tale also play a major role in issues following in the mutant x universe.
The Bad
It was rather lackluster for this alternate universe which started out so well to just suddenly become so similar to 616 continuity (mainstream marvel) Gambit working for sinister, growing Nate Grey etc It was all contrived and boring.
The Ugly 2.5 average read
