While the stories are short and of high interest, the vocabulary is often challenging. These are intellectual mutants given to philosophizing and waxing heroic. One distraction is the use of dialect to convey the Southern and French accents of Rogue and Gambit. However, the popularity of the characters, who are also featured in Marvel comics, guarantees an interest in the series.
