Product Description
Mystique is a shape-shifting mutant and former terrorist, recruited by Professor Xavier of the X-Men to be a secret agent. Her current mission: to find and destroy a deadly new strain of smallpox...one that's spread telepathically! Problem is, she's not the only mutant who wants to get her hands on this potentially apocalyptic bio-weapon!

collects #7-13. another winner. as i said in my review of mystique tpb #1, this series easily beats the anything the core writers are doing these days; and i'm happy to say that tpb #2 is even better. the first arc has mystique trying to avert a potential worldwide epidemic and introduces a new villain that for lack of better words is "totally cool"; definitely way more original than what most other writers are coming up with. then there's a short two-parter w/ forge as the two track down a kidnapped mutant, and then a one shot where mystique is sent to brazil. vaughan's writing continues to be fresh, and his characterization of mystique is a bit more well rounded here. it'll be interesting to see if he can keep this up into the next arc. michael ryan's artwork is great, and although manuel garcia's artwork for two issues pales in comparison it's still good. i'm seriously going to have to get another copy of this to lend to my friends.
 Graphic SF Reader September 3, 2007
The end of the series about the ambiguous shapeshifter Raven Darkholme, and her dangerous games. There are a few shorter stories here, of the more self-contained variety.
An interesting series that unfortunately didn't continue, and probably should have been a MAX title to get to its full potential. Bisexual shapeshifting spy/assassin/villain/mothers are not your standard sort of Spider-Man type adventure characters.
