It seems that Selene has resurrected an army of undead mutants and is attempting to destroy the Utopia Scott Summers built. It also seems that it’s up to our friendly neighborhood X-Force, to kill them all before it gets out of hand. For classic X-fans this will bring back fond memories as many classic mutants such as Darkstar, Pyro and many more make a return from the dead in this issue. Selene wisely brought back characters to torment the X-Men who may have connections with the undead. Does Selene have a much darker wish to fulfill with her newly formed army of the dead?

X-Necrosha, not only being a plague - I mean...play on Genosha's name, was one heck of bangin' start to this X-Men crossover. For those of you that do not know, X-Necrosha is the story of long time X-Men foe Selene, making her move to destroy the people that she felt destroyed her. Her ancient lover, Eli Bard is backing her with an undead army of mutants that he resurrects using the stolen Techno-Virus from Bastion. Selene starts things off by attacking various X-Teams on the new headquarters of Utopia. She shows great strategic skills by sending the (un)dead team of Hellions to confront Emma Frost. They catch her off guard and attempt to attack her but Cyclops, Domino, and Wolverine jump in to help. Wolverine makes an attempt to end it fast by stabbing a Hellion but the impaling has no effect and Wolvy is knocked into the ocean thus, taking a big player off the board early. The same strategy is used when the resurrected Cypher uses his past with Magma to infiltrate her room and sneak attack her. Another battle highlighted is the resurrected Pyro and Berserker taking on Warpath and Archangel. The story ends with Selene and her Inner Circle stepping on the shores of Hammer Bay, Genosha with the idea of resurrecting the dead.
In the new millennium, the miniseries has become an artform in itself. They serve as a way for writers to further flesh out the characters we love. Seeing them in a new light brings us a whole new pespective. With so many miniseries out there, we thought we'd point out a few of our favorites and a few that may have missed the mark.
So a friend and I were talking online about our favorite X-Men characters and the disappointing horror that was X3: The Last Stand (don't worry Brett Ratner, I still watch the movie like everyday) and we asked ourselves what actors we'd cast as our favorite heroes in X4 should there ever be one. Here are some of our picks:
