Potential spoilers below...
First, the previous characterization for Mojo going back decades is largely discarded to make him more trendy and hip...because that's what we need more of is a character who is supposed to be the same person but is the same in name/basic concept only.
The story explores the previously unexplored...because it never existed...good side to Mojo.
Mojo suddenly, after decades without one, develops a moral compass, compassion, and in short order becomes friends with Glob, heroically saves a dog, a kid and even the X-Men. And he falls in love with a human girl and even wins her heart in the end.
It's a lame story that might somewhat work if it was Mojo's first and only appearance...but since it totally flies in the face of who Mojo has been for decades...it's just more current-Marvel crap. Another example of Marvel parodying the source material...in the source material.
But hey, it''s okay...they put an Easter egg nod to Mojo's creator Ann Nocenti in the book, so this MUST be legit.
Who cares about being true to who characters actually are, or their history, or even not treating your characters and your universe like a joke...or longtime fans like suckers...or anything else for that matter. If that's how you feel, run to buy this comic. Or just set five dollars on fire...it's all the same in the end.
Better idea...go buy a copy of The Seeds #1 from Dark Horse, by Ann Nocenti and artist David Aja. It's the first in a new four-issue limited series. It's good, and not insulting to your intelligence. And a buck cheaper to boot.
