This is the last issue in the FF/X-Men crossover, and makes for a pretty decent conclusion to the storyline. Overall I've been quite pleased: this story definitely shaped up to be better than I was expecting from the slightly shaky start in issue #16.

Taken as a whole, I'd say this crossover was a decent enough if mostly predictable story, with some nice little character moments and a pretty good showing for Doctor Doom. So I have no complaints.

There was also a second Doctor Doom appearance this week, and I was pretty satisfied with that one too.

All in all, this continues to be an enjoyable little crossover; nothing spectacular, but it's humming along nicely enough, and I haven't regretted buying an issue so far.

Hmm, hey, a pretty decent issue actually. Stronger than #16, I think, and all in all not a bad read. Doom doesn't appear very much, but he does get to play an important role in the plot.

On the strength of this issue I'm now a bit more interested in the rest of this storyline than I was, so, definitely not a bad purchase.

CBR has the lettered preview for X-Men #16.
