torn was definetly one of the best x stories i’ve read(some others are planet x, operation zero tolerance, the trial of gambit, the final year of x-factor in the 90s, exiles:a world apart, phoenix:end song, essential x-men vol.1 and frank millers original wolverine mini series.). I can only hope unstoppable is as good because I don’t think it could be better. the quality of the first issue makes me believe it will be. the first arc, “gifted” got somewhat draggy despite having surprises, great, subtly and not so subtly dropped themes and inventing a whole new landscape/supporting cast for whedon’s x-men. the issues were very good, making the slowness bearable. the second arc was the weakest of the three complete arcs but much like season six of buffy not everything is bad. were treated to a very interesting reaction to a character losing thier powers, an example of how badass scott can be when he has to be, a scene that could only be described as the movie 28 days later in hell, a great battle between the x-men and the stories villain that forces them to act in unexpected ways, a great proffessor x story that adds layers of depth to the proffessor previously unseen and makes it believable he created this formidable superhero team. the few drawbacks of the arc are the villains over philosophical nature the leads to very drawn out, mostly disinteresting rants, a character design for the villain that could have been better and a drawn out battle in the final issue that could have been cut in half and ended up very anticlimactic. Whedons work has really hit its stride.
