Mystique: Drop Dead Gorgeous (Brian K Vaughan)

The title probably gives away the fact that Mystique: Drop Dead Gorgeous contains a lot of skimpily dressed Mystique with enormous breasts. In fact, the shape of her breasts in some scenes was so ridiculous as to be rather annoying.

However, this comic is a pretty cool espionage style thing, with Mystique working undercover for Charles Xavier, despite the fact that neither of them trust each other. While it's not ground-breaking stuff (and I enjoyed the Joss Whedon penned series more than this), it's enjoyable enough, and I'm going to be reading the rest of this series. Or whatever the correct term is when it comes to comic books - not series, I think. Story arc? Volumes? Whichever it is, I'll be checking them out.
