This review contains spoilers, click here to read
This comic is just too absurd. In an era of comic book writing that is characterized by more realism, and deeper character development, Jason Aaron has the X-Men battle a team of sociopathic children. This plot requires a greater suspension of disbelief than I can muster. Having prepubescent or barely pubescent characters drive the action in comics appears to have become a trend, one that evidently began with the introduction of (what I understand to be) the quite popular Damian Wayne as Robin at DC. I can accept Loki as a child scheming and acting with a sophistication beyond his years. Loki is a god, so we expect him to be exceptional. But in this case, it’s just not believable. If these Hellfire Club kids were in their late teens, I could probably accept their villainy, but Aaron’s story is just over the top silly. I cringed at this line of dialogue from a character who is at an age when he should probably still be thinking of girls as being “icky.” “I haven’t had sex yet, so maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t imagine it feeling better than this.” As a writer, Jason Aaron’s work seems inconsistent to me. I enjoy his work when he explores issues of politics and/or religion as he did in the recent mini about the Ultimate universe Captain America, but with this series, I suspect that Aaron got assigned a project that he just didn’t feel inspired by.
I’m not sure I would want all of my comics looking like this one, but I have to admit that Daniel Acuna carries out all the duties of a comic artist with an original style. I sometimes find his smudged looking, painterly style a bit off putting, but that’s just my personal preference.
Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 4 - Very Good
Art: 4 - Very Good
I don’t know why the art shows a rating of 1 when I am quite sure I gave it a 4. I don’t see any way to edit my review in this new format.
Jason Aaron loves the X-Men. He is definitely not uninspired by this story. It just might not be the story for you.
I’m not the only one who found the sociopathic children to be problematic. See the review by “Heysideburns.”
No one said you were the only one.
Just because he loves the X-Men doesn’t mean his story isn’t uninspired. I love the X-Men too but I don’t really have an inspired idea for an X-Men story. I usually like Aaron, btw, so I’m not just out to diss him.
@froggulper: I’ve talked to Jason Aaron about this story. He wasn’t assigned it against his will. He’s not uninspired by it. You are free to feel uninspired by it yourself, of course.
Though you are right Conner, I actually enjoy what Aaron is doing here but its not without its flaws. However do you really think that ANY writer you talk with is going to say hey this book sucks and I hated working on it? They’re job is to push the book no different than a celeb on the tonight show talking about there latest movie.
@lukepher: Yes, they would and they have. In private and off the record, of course.
