This comic is badass. You feel me? It's the mother-flipppin ba-bomb. You feel me? Greymalkin Industries, Empath, Hellfire Lackey masks, the Red Queen, the Fastball
Oh, yeah. You feel me.
All kidding aside, this comic had its highs and lows. Sometimes it seemed to be trying a little hard to scratch that fanboy itch, and it got a little juvenile along the way. (But hey, maybe Marvel is trying to follow Kirkman's advice and crack the oh-so-valuable teen market.) It felt a little bit like X3-the-comic (a movie I liked, btw), right down to the Golden Gate bridge being featured prominently (and again a little pointlessly). But I hated the Emma-Scott dialog. If I wanted to watch Desperate Housewives, I'd... well I'd effin kill myself. Scott's newfound coolness is on unsteady ground, if it hasn't already slipped into a SF mudslide. (Do they have mudslides there?) The new headquarters scenes were a little awkward, like maybe Wolverine just stunk up the joint and everyone is trying not to mention it. Also, a multi-kajillion-dollar new facility and all the walls are blank? Warren, spring for some decorations, dude. And hey Fraction/Brubaker, way to rip on Oakland.
What I liked about this issue? Well, it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement of seeing the New Mutant/Hellions rivalry being revived, especially with the former White Witch now on the side of the angels. (Empath is due for some major detention.) And speaking of getting caught up, yeah I'll admit that Scott and Warren are all L.A. cool with the shadesl. And I'll say it again, it's nice to see people smiling in an X-Men book. The Hellfire Cult scenes looked great. I also liked one panel of Emma's face, and the scene when Pixie came back to HQ was... actually moving. And I don't even know who the hell Pixie is.
My last question? Who turned Xi'an onto the Velvet Underground?
Art: 3 - Good
Nice lampoon of the slangy speech patterns. I laughed out loud. 🙂
Thanks. At first I thought it was really horrible writing, but then I realized that it was Empath and I got it. It’s actually a little cool.
