It has to be said outright: Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex #1 is a perfect comic book. Hickman and Reis, both credited for the plot here, deliver a simply told story that revisits Fantomex’s life, starting from his birth, in ten-year intervals as he revisits the World. The World is a secret dimension of a sort where experiments, including the one that made him who he is, take place. Fantomex takes a different team of allies (read as bait, mostly, but distractions at the absolute best) with him so he can get in there and check in with someone from his past. It’s a one-shot comic that reads more like a classic short story by Bradbury or Vonnegut than something the unfamiliar would expect in a superhero comic.
