Too many depressing, angsty stories. When did Nightcrawler (my fave superhero) get so depressing? Lame. Only the first story, with Wolverine, really seemed like it worked as a standalone story. The others all relied too heavily on backstory which I wasn't familiar with because I don't follow every single thing Marvel produces and prefer to read more complete storylines. And the Wolverine story was kinda lame because since when does Wolvie get so thoroughly beat up and nearly killed by a pack of nameless thugs?

Also, the vast majority of the characters who appear on the front and back cover are nowhere to be found within the book. Which is pretty much false advertising.
