Random Comic Review: 2: Astonishing X-men volume 2

The second part of Whedon's X-men story starts with our guys attacking a giant monster to try and drum up good PR. The concept of the X-men trying to increase their public good will is a good idea. But we quickly move from that to the X-men getting attacked by their own danger room. Apparently, the Danger Room is actually a sentient computer program that Xavier enslaved.

I like the growth we've had to Xavier over the years. He's a sort of ruthless idealist. We spend most of the rest of it with the X-men slugging it out with Danger, the sentient robot with various and sundry powers. It's well written, but not particularly enthralling. I rate it 6 out of 10 sentient evil female computers.
