reader.
It is also great writing in the fact
that it is difficult for the reader to
figure out what the next move is
with the Inhumans. The X-Men
have successfully taken New
Attilan and have placed the most
powerful Inhumans in Limbo. A
place more difficult to escape than
Hell. What they do next and how
they do it is a mystery to all of us.
Especially with Karnak in a
secluded place all his own. Pretty
sure they will come up with
something though.
What I Didn't Like
Switching artist, although planned,
it was not a good idea. I don’t
know why after two issues the
COMICS
artist for the series switched from
Francis Yu to Javier Garron but the
difference is noticeable. Yu was a
master at creating the dark
atmosphere of this battle while
Garron almost lightens it up and
makes it a bit more kid centric
from an art standpoint on certain
pages. He’s still an amazing artist
but what we were treated to in
issue #1 and #2 almost spoiled
us. However, Yu will be back for
the final issue in the series which
is something to look forward to.
Ending: 9/10
We don’t hear from Black Bolt the
entire issue and in the end we find
out why. Black Bolt could end this
war in the blink of an eye and the
X-Men know that. So securing him
and taking him out of the equation
was priority number one. How they
did it exactly we are not shown,
but the end result we are. It’s
impressive.
What I'm Looking Forward To
Just for this incredible story to
continue. You can’t figure out
which way this war is going to
finish on the side of. Although right
now I’d say the X-Men have the
upper hand. Look for the Inhumans
to counter shortly as they are
already planning a counter
offensive with something the X-
Men either underestimated or
forgot about completely.
Platform: COMICS Genre: Action ESRB: Teen Publisher: Marvel
I like that I’m still torn on this
whole thing on who to root for.
Cover Rank: 9/10
Another solid cover for the series.
Marvel has done a great job really
hitting home that this is war and
these covers really express that.
The first issue had each race
divided. Since then they are all
intermingled fighting to protect
their race. No detail is left
unchecked. Just looking at it and
seeing the colors flow is pure joy.
There is so much to look at and
dissect that these covers are
almost issues all themselves. The
T-Rex is a tad misleading however,
at least for now.
Best Variant Isssue
John Cassady Issue. While it may
feature three important characters
to the series, only one had a
somewhat large role within the
issue. Nonetheless, this cover art
is very well done and features a
mid air Wolverine jumping right off
the page at us with Black Bolt and
Medusa’s images on either side of
him. Somewhat simple but a great
cover.
Best Moment
There’s a couple different ones to
choose from here. One dialog
driven with a surprising result, the
other a battle scene. I’m one for
battles so let’s go with that.
What we were left off with in issue
#2 was Inferno and Iso of the
Inhumans teleporting mid battle to
an unknown location only to find
another battle waiting for them in
Logan. Iso goes to investigate
something else that is happening
in the area leaving Inferno to
battle the legendary X-Men. The
result is not only shocking, but the
state Logan is left in might be
even more so. Rarely do you see
him so defeated after a fight and
to be brought down by an
inexperienced hero makes it even
more of an amazing moment. Add
the way he brought Logan down
and you are left staring at the
pages in awe.
What I Like
I like that I’m still torn on this
whole thing on who to root for. I’m
leaning on the Inhumans because
of the way the X-men started they
fight. Yea I sound like a 5 year old
saying “he started it!”, but they
did. Did they need too? Yea they
kinda had too. Which makes this a
real internal struggle for the
9.0
