New X-Men, Volume 3: New Worlds

I tore through this volume, a drastic improvement on the prior arc. This isn't really an arc per se, rather than a few storylines interwoven through mostly one-shot issues, and it's all the better for it. I felt like there was real space for story here, rather than the dizzying epic conflict of Imperial.

It was really only let down by the final issue, which had some embarassing post 9/11 politics and built up to an uninteresting cliffhanger. But New X-Men is swinging in better directions now and I'm onboard for the rest of it.
