X-MEN – BLUE & GOLD / WEAPON X / OLD MAN LOGAN / HAL JORDAN / BLACK PANTHER [Reviews]: “Patience isn’t my strongest suit.”

With X-Men Gold, we witness a return to formula of sorts within the X-Men universe. A, sort of, classic roster (Kitty Pryde, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, Storm, and Rachel Grey), a public thats fearful of the “threat” of mutantkind, and a softball game in typical fashion all harken back to the days of Chris …
