Uncanny X-Men #461

Last issue ended with Mojo and Spiral sneaking into the institute, and Mojo never has good intentions. This time he has decided to turn all the X-Men on hand into children and then seal the institute shut with a shield. Mojo and Spiral did not come alone. They also brought Mojo's super-powered lawyer-group to chase down the baby X-Men. It is a fun chase, the baby X-Men have no powers and therefore have to conquer their foes using there smarts and knowledge of the institute. The little X-Men take out Mojo's lawyers and lock him down long enough for the grown up X-Men to get in and finish the job.

It is interesting to see the X-Men as children, and they did a good job of it. The art is good. I did feel that this short arc was kind of just filler until they can start House of M. Mojo and his crazy antics and take up way more than one book, it just seemed crammed and not really given a chance to develop. House of M starts in the next issue and I am really looking forward to that.
