Three Months.....It's been three agonizing months just to get this issue out. After the really long winded issue of showing why Logan doesnt pop his claw out anymore, I was worried about the pacing for this series. Just where is this story going? Is this fantastic run on Wolverine finally losing steam?
The answer to that is a resounding NO!
Thank god this issue was great! I was really worried Mark Millar was losing his mind again and we were gonna get nothing but gore for the last three issues. Well there is a lot of gore....but that isnt the point. The point is, is that I love this story now more then ever. Sure it's still a lot more Marvel porn then answering questions but at least we're going somewhere with this. Without spoiling much for this review let me say that
A) Millar should write the X-Men series proper considering how well of a handle he's got on Emma
B) I would love to see a series where it'st just this continuity. Okay sure there isnt many heroes left but damn this 'New Babylon' is making me intrigued to no end.
C) Mark Millar is a fucking bastard for what he did to Hawkeye....that's all I will say on that.
Most likely this issue was delayed for the art. Normally I am a stickler for artists not getting the job done on time but this was well worth the wait. Black Bolt fighting the T-Rex? Looks amazing! Two page spread of the body of Hank Pym? Gorgeous! The blood and gore? Over the top but still great to look at. McNiven might be the only artist I will take leway on delays now. Every single panel has so much detail it staggers the mind. Even a simple panel with a close up of Hawkeye just looks so damn good. Look at the hair for these characters! Most realistic looking hair every seen in a comic book.
So yes delays are a bitch sometimes, but like everyone else I can deal with them on this series. But what I am most happy about is that finally the story is moving along. Where it's going I have no idea but with two issues left to go (and maybe a seperate one-shot like finale) I cant wait to see where we are going. Let me just repeat what I said on my C point.....Millar you are a bastard for what you did at the end!!
Art: 5 - Excellent
Good review. Of course, Hawkeye’s fate at the end of the book is what gives this comic its gravity. If there were no consequences, this imagined reality would have no meaning.
One question – how does Emma get to be Black Bolt’s boss?
@coltrane: I think it was implied that she is dating him now.
Or at least she was dating Cyclops and then when the shit went down, Black Bolt tried to help everyone.
"Dating", huh?
@coltrane: Whoops sorry I was wrong there
I just re-read it and Emma just states after marrying her husband (we dont know who that is), she got help from Black Bolt once everything went to hell for the heroes. So I guess for some reason Black Bolt decided to help the mutants out.
@TNC
I think that her husband is Doom, as the Mutant settlement is in Doom’s territory, and Doom is featured immediately after the mutant scene.
@coltrane: Really?….It’s never hinted by Emma at all it’s Doom.
I just thought Emma was hiding in Doom’s city in general. I hope we see more of Doom in the future….cause McNiven’s take on Doom is defined as ‘bad ass’
