Kevin Melrose, Comic Book Resources; X-MEN GOLD IS LIKE ’80S CLAREMONT BINGO (AND THAT’S JUST FINE, BUB)
"The concept at the core of the X-Men, that they’re devoted to protecting a world that hates and fears them, is borderline brilliant...
In March’s “X-Men Prime” #1, Kitty Pryde moved the X-Mansion to Central Park, the very heart of Manhattan, where the newly minted Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach is literally surrounded by millions who hate and fear mutants, emotions fanned by the recent war with the Inhumans. Guggenheim gives voice to that sentiment with Lydia Nance, the media-savvy director of the Heritage Initiative think tank, who seems cut from the same cloth as William Stryker and Sen. Robert Kelly. However, he adds a new wrinkle with the added threat of mutant deportation, demonstrating that the themes of fear and prejudice in the X-Men titles are, sadly, once again as timely as ever."
