Summary

The X-Men confront a ghost from their past.

Our Take

A heavy, grief-soaked hour that finally lets the team sit with what they lost instead of punching through it. The quieter character beats land hardest, though the middle stretch drags a bit before the ending pulls everything back together. If you’ve been waiting for this confrontation, it delivers without feeling cheap. Worth your time, especially if Gambit’s death still stings.
