X-Men Noir #2 (OF 4)
/cover-large.jpg)
"Chief Detective Magnus had never seen Sebastian Shaw so angry before. The vein pulsating in the man's forehead threatened to burst as he swept one arm around what remained of his looted Hellfire Club.
"'Look at this!' Shaw seethed. 'Just look! They stole everything that wasn't nailed down -- and then they took the nails out of the rest of it and stole that, too!
"'If you can't catch these 'X Men,' Eric, I can just as easily shift my...support to someone who will..."

I was definitely dissapointed in this issue. Just didn't do it for me.

I still love it. The Noir books are better than 616 for me right now.

What's with the art? The Juggernaut panel is a drawing on top of what I guess in an old time picture, but you can still see the hands of whatever inmate was originally pictured. Look at Juggernaut's knee and you'll see a guy's had holding an orange or something.
I guess this is nitpicking, but I think I was looking for something since the issue was pretty lame overall.

@Anson17 Agreed. I don't think I really care about this world, and I'm not a big enough X-fan to get all the little ironies of who's who. I don't think I'll be reading issue 3.

oye, I can't finish this book, I keep losing interest after a few pages.

I think this is a case of a really exceptional book that people feel the need to nitpick, which actually happens a lot. The second issue is even better than the first, and its definitely the series Im most excited to read. Is it perfect? No, but what work that is this ambitious ever is? Ok, maybe Watchmen, but than again, didn't that take 3 or 4 years to finish? I think this is just one of those books that clearly not for everyone. But if it, you'll love it. Frankly, I could take a few more books from Marvel that aim this high, even if they end being love it or hate it books. I'd rather have 5 books I love and 5 books I hate than 10 books I feel MEH about.

I love this so far. I know I am not the biggest X fan out there and I know I didnt get all the references, but it was fun to spot the one that i did. Kind of like a semi-quasi where's waldo.

This issue seemed to be "lets cram everyone we can into one issue". I like it, but its getting a little too much. Did we really need Wolverine with claws? Does he have a healing factor too? If so what is the damn point.

Hey Rad, I didnt know what you meant, so I went back to the issue. I dont see naything that suggests Wolverine has powers any more than anyone else, and his claws are some kind of hand hand held thing, its very clear.

Issue 1 was amazing. Lets hope #2 is the same.
