Before reading this comic I had no idea who the majority of these characters were. Only X-23 and Kid Briton had popped up on my radar before. So I was worried I wouldn't feel any sort of connection to them - which would make this book rather dull. But every issue taught me more about these characters, and it wasn't long until I grew attached to them and started cheering for them to survive. This also means however that this is turning into one of the most emotionally devastating comic runs I've read in awhile. 
 Once you start reading you won't want to stop. You'll need to find out who dies, who betrays who, what tricks Arcade has cooked up for them and most importantly who will survive.
