Good action, but hard to follow if you don't know the background

While this installment of the long-running X-Men saga is dynamic and contains a great deal of action, readers that are not familiar with the previous stories will find it very difficult to follow. The story is based in several locations and the contexts are complex. You need to understand the powers of the many X-Men characters, how they have interacted in the past, villains such as the Skrulls and Kree, the role of Charles Xavier and the continuing saga of the Phoenix.
Fortunately, even if you do not understand the entire backdrop, the action is intense and the book ends with a major cliffhanger that leaves you frustrated. This is X-Men action at its' finest, where the heroes are forced to step up and defend Earth and themselves against mighty powers that want to sweep them away.
