oh god I'm buying the hell outta this. I loved the series, so I'll support it however I can. The end left opening for a new series...one can only hope, eh?

I wouldn't know. I only found the first issue, and i was really looking forward to it. Gonna have to go to my store and have a little talk with them. I also didn't get any at all of the deadshot mini. My store is pretty good about my pull and all, but they have been kinda slacking off lately.

The paperback was a great read! It was good to go through the 5 issues all at once; there were enough twists and surprises to keep the pages turning. Not a plot so convoluted that one would have lost the thread by waiting between issues - but I think more enjoyable in concentrated form, since it really was one big story.
Rahne had some great lines. And I liked the idea of Mutant Town, where you never knew what powers the neighbours might have. Best surprise: when the white-haired killer splits into two and says "What? Did you think you were the only one?"
Very tempting to get the next issues, but I'll hold out for the next TPB.

I don't think there are any more issues, at least not according to the note in the last book. I think five issues is all we are getting of this. Although, if DistrictX is still around, maybe we could see this team still together and playing a part of that series.

And what exactly did I mis-read? I said those five issues were it and they were.

I never said we weren't going to see the character ever again. I hypothesized that they could use the characters in the DistrictX book since that also took place in Mutant Town.

1) Since DX is cancelled, that's fundementally unlikely (not to mention that it would be missing the point as much as that short-lived rumour that put the Runways in NXMAX)
2) Next snetence: "But it is not the end for Peter David and the character" This after the last page set up an X-Factor revival with PAD writing, starring Madrox, Rahne & Guido. (and PAD doesn't write DX, BTW).

Just read the TP collecting the first five issues of this book. I wasn't expecting much, since I don't expect much from any "X-book" these days, but I really enjoyed it. Props to writer Peter David for taking a minor character like "Madrox, the Multiple Man" and making him interesting. The way Madrox and his "dupes" are presented is way cool. Liked seeing Rahne, aka "Wolfsbane" in action too. Pretty sweet art, also.
So wait a minute--those five issues were all we're going to get?

Classic. If the rest of the series is as good, I'll probably wish this was an on-going title.
I completely forgot about Rahne from New Mutants. She sure grew up nicely. She's no longer that awkward teen and thinking her power is a curse. She grew into it very well...almost to well
