The princess diaries: MIT's newspaper, The Tech, likes X-Statix Vol. 3: Back From the Dead, despite the watered-down story that resulted from the Princess Diana "controversy":

"But even with the occasional censorship, X-Statix still beats the competition in pushing the genre, riffing on topics that are completely taboo in every other comic book, let alone every other form of popular entertainment. Who else would use last year’s sniper attacks in DC or the selling of chemical weapons to Hussein as admittedly somewhat perverse plot devices? Or have a team of villains called 'Euro-trash' (which includes 'Oxford Blue,' described as having 'ferocious violence with a boyish stammer and a predilection for black hookers.')? Or have a Princess Di-esque character as leader of a superhero group, redesigning their costumes in 'stunning ethnic lycra with bold highlights'?"
