It’s an epic, superhero story that returns to what you would expect from a novel about the X-Men. The standout of the seven stories, and by far the longest, is Harris’ “Depowered,” which features a team-up of all the characters we get to know in the stories prior. But it doesn’t call you back like a normal novel would. This isn’t a know on any of the stories, because once you’re in one of them, it becomes impossible to stop. The next page begins a completely new story, aside from the fact that these characters are all attending the same school. Once one of these stories is completed, it’s a clean break. Nothing can be held against the writers as they each did a good job creating page-turning stories, but the book itself doesn’t necessarily make readers keep wanting to come back. With that being said, the only downside to this book is its own nature. Whether it was a psychological thriller, a horror, a pulse-pounding action story or a time-traveling romp. They also managed to step into the superhero genre and branch out into very different genres with their respective stories. Jaleigh Johnson, Robbie MacNiven, Cath Lauria, Amanda Bridgeman, Pat Shand, Neil Kleid and Carrie Harris each took some of these great characters and made them their own. The unique novel actually features seven completely original stories, each showcasing a different group of characters and culminating with an epic team-up.įirst off, all seven authors have to be credited for their fantastic stories. They are just some of the stars of the new novel, School of X, from Aconyte Books’ “Xavier Institute” line of books. But what happens when the team is turning to the next generation of mutants? Names like Tempus, Triage, Hijack and Kid Omega don’t quite carry the same recognition.t People are familiar with the classic lineup of X-Men and characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine and many others.
