What is a cuckoo? That is the question this comic poses. The Stepford Cuckoos have been in the mansion for awhile now, an enigma. Starting out as five telepathic girls that grew so much alike they were as one. The first part of the book is interesting, showing the girls, showing how powerful they are becoming, and raising the prospect of what they are. The girls are a plant, eggs laid in the nest of the X-Men, and for all intents and purposes it looks like they were laid by phoenix… or something that wants them to think its phoenix. You see in nature, the Cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird’s nest, when the birds hatch they have similar markings, and can imitate the false mothers begging call. Instinctively they drive the birds real children out of the nest, pushing chicks and eggs out of the nest. So are the cuckoo’s eggs of the phoenix? Or are they something that is assuming its plumage and begging call?

The wait seems like its been forever on Warsong to come out. After Endsong's awesomeness i have been anticipating this addition. Learning more about the Phoenix is something I greatly look forward to.
Were you as disappointed as I was by this first book? It really seemed IDENTICAL to Engsong #1. Just, I dunno, not what I was hoping for. But I did end up picking up both covers. You?
