Rating: 4/5
I've really enjoyed reading this run by Whedon and Cassaday. The cartoon series based on it is quite good as well. Definitely recommend reading the first two volumes before reading this one.
The third volume acts as a bridge between the first two volumes and the fourth volume. It really focuses on the fallout from the previous books while setting up the story for the fourth book. There isn't really a standalone story here.
The art is fantastic once again. So the team is working on bringing itself back together, which makes the subtitle pretty fitting. There is a plotline here featuring Emma Frost that goes along with this theme as well. This plot didn't really stand out for me though. There are suggestions of it in the previous book, and it just didn't feel as strong as the story from the previous volumes.
The team comes together by the end of the book in a nice way though. There is tension throughout and things aren't quite resolved at the end, but that is okay knowing that the story is continued. It is a strong addition to the Whedon/Cassaday run.
