Publisher Description
Omega-level mutant Elixir must come to terms with his anti-mutant upbringing while fighting off vampiric mermen and a leviathan of ancient lore in this intense survival adventure from Marvel’s School of X
Once, Joshua Foley hated mutants, then he became one. It’s… problematic. When his healing powers manifested, the violent anti-Mutant Reavers rejected him and only the X-Men offered sanctuary. Now he’s surrounded by mutants who still see him as their enemy. A deep-sea training mission isolates him with a select team of new X-Men, which is bad enough, but then the attacks begin. A sect of sea monster-worshiping vampire mermen besiege the base, leaving them stranded and trapped. As the attacks escalate, their chances of survival plummet. Things go from awful to even worse when one of their team begins sabotaging their attempts to call for help, all in the name of a sleeping behemoth soon to awake…

SO GOOD
I truly could not put this book down, and believe me, I TRIED. Thrilling plot, fantastic and juicy interpersonal conflicts, delicious detail and descriptions, and by far the best I’ve ever seen Elixir’s powers written – and I’ve read every 616 appearance of his at least twice over, so I’m not saying that lightly! At times I felt like I was highlighting entire chapters. I truly could not get enough of it. Tristan Palmgren hit the ball out of the park with this, and I will for sure be reading more of their work.
Update: I chose this book over studying for the AP Stats exam and then got a 5. I may not be able to confirm that this book was the reason why, but I’m choosing to believe it regardless!
