If anyone out there thinks Marvel never tries anything new, and hasn’t tried this book… I believe you’re doing it wrong. Si Spurrier has done more cool things with Legion than any other writer in the character’s 25+ years.
And this book is really delivering on the whole “Marvel Now trade dress will allow for more interesting cover design” thing.
AGREED! Such a cool, fresh perspective on the X books. Ive been excited every week and it has delivered every time. Plus, some of the best covers of any new Marvel book. For $2.99 I would think more people would be reading this title. Last issue was really good too, with the whole “father’s shadow” vibe. I hope it carries into this issue. Seems like Legion is starting to come into his own; let’s see what he can do with some confidence.
First comic read out of my stack and I have to say this title blows me away. I think Si Spurrier is an enormous talent with such a knack for dialogue and just whacked out but awesome ideas.
I feel like he’d be a great candidate to write something with Doctor Strange in the lead.
More people need to give this book a shot. It’s not your normal Marvel book, much less your normal X-Men book. This has been such a great surprise. Looking at my list, this will definitely be the first thing I read.
This takes over as my favorite X title from Uncanny X-force after the Remender run.
Whoa! Man, was this loaded. Great character bits, fleshing out a character I know nothing about, and a crazy twist I *should* have seen coming but didn’t.
This was excellent! Excellent layouts, interesting sub story, unexpected twist. What is that “personality” in his qortex that wants him dead? Is it self-doubt, fear, insecurity, is it somehow working with Luca?? Any ideas? I really wish I had the next issue in my hands right now.
I think it’s something related to Professor X. I need to re-read, but I feel like it showed up the moment Charles died. It could just be a manifestation of David’s insecurity toward living up to his father’s legacy, or it could be a more tangible (for lack of a better word) part of Charles’ mind itself.
I don’t think either book is headed this direction, but how great would it be for Legion to be the one who stops the Red Skull and retrieves Xavier’s brain?
Wow! That would be WILD! I can see him and Cap together pissing each other off. That’s funny. On another note, you may be onto something. For all we know Professor X may have put some sort of safeguard into his sons mind to keep him in check in case of his death. Something else to pay attention to. Thanks!
