Alcohol, a silent killer. A substance which causes more deaths than marijuana, sex, smoking, demolition derbies, gerbils, school shootings, and Paris Hilton's vagoo EVERY SINGLE DAY! This is why I was shocked, shocked and appalled by what I discovered on the first page of this comic book. A minor.... DRUNK!
Who is this minor of which I speak? Ink, or Eric Gitter as his parents named him. Yes my sweet America, a child barely able to walk, a lil' babe just out of diapers, instead of enjoying life with his pet dog Phineas, just romping around in rural Kentucky completely carefree. Why? Because these anarchistic roughians known as the X-Men, these "Super Mutants" have warped his fragile little infant mind into something heinous, a hutant. A human mutant wannabe, a poseur, a traitor to his own people.
I know life isn't easy for you, what with the registration act, the invasions, the ultimatums and the one more days, but I promise you my America, this sacrilege of our very moral fiber will not go unnoticed. Where did it all go wrong, what happened to make our society crumble, our very values, that which makes us American, stripped from us? Laziness, laziness from the highest echelons of power, Quesada and Loeb have gotten lazy. And laziness breeds complacency, "so what if a minor is drinking?", "so what if he has sex before marriage", "so what...". I say my America, No Further!
The problem, as I see it, are the mutants. They go about with their own personal agenda, with no thought about the lives they ruin, only their own future is their focus. Their agenda is of course to become the dominant species of the planet. Now some of you more liberal minded will say "Professor X's vision had nothing to do with mutant supremacy, you are thinking of Magneto", but listen to me my dear America, they may say different things but their true objective is the same, to displace the human race with their own mutant one. I can see it now, a wasteland where the Land of the Free are no longer free, where the pursuit of happiness is something unobtainable, and where "all men are not created equal".
It's not too late, my sweet America, we can reclaim that which is rightfully ours, rebuild it in our magnificent vision. Our only obstacle are the mutants, the once so-called "global equalizer", they are at their weakest, a decisive blow against them could do it. It is time you asked yourself, "Is this OUR universe, or ISN'T it?", and I believe you know the answer. God bless.
Final verdict? Four Mutants out of 198 should be allowed to continue existing. Rogue, X-23, Blink and of course Domino because they are hot. The rest should be put out of their misery as soon as possible.
The art was decent, when comparing it to the art in X-Factor then it's the epitome of art, the details in each panel is striking, tattoos, grafitti, and buildings gives life to San Fransisco in a way that makes it seem more alive. Final Rating? Three out of Five.
"They don't care about you--they don't care about AMERICA!"

Too bad I stopped reading Young X-Men after issue #1. It just wasn't anything spectacular.
But in the name of patriotism and the holiness of America, I will read this issue and cling to moral standards of sorts.

The art was horrible; and the coloring was even WORSE. Cyclops, Sunspot and Mirage have the same skin color in the same panel; Sunspot, Mirage and Dust get blue eyes... and the story wasn't that horrible, but the dialogue between Anole and Rockslide sounded forced.
I did like Anole's dialogue about "having a name his parent gave him and wants to use it".
