Laughing Zealot posted:X-force While overall, I thought it was an decent introductory issue with an interesting undercurrent, the "shocking twist" at the end is cause for concern, as it retreads the same sort of problematic narrative ground that the X-Men just escaped for simple shock value. It's pretty clear that this twist will be undone or shown to be a fakeout. Re: New Mutants The art was gorgeous, though it does surprise me that this group isn't being used for the Excalibur plot. I've always thought the New Mutants work best in fantasy or high fantasy settings. hexate fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Nov 6, 2019 |

X-Force feels to me like it's trying to walk a tightrope. Any one of Beast, Domino, Wolverine, Jean, Black Tom feels like they're portrayed as if something's ever-so-slightly off, but collectively... I'm left with the distinct feeling that there's some fuckery by Xavier and Moira going on.

I love that the art in X-Factor feels like it's ripped straight out of the animated Wolverine and the X-Men. Also, liking the hooks developed for Vulcan this week.

Yvonmukluk posted:So...the Shadow King has been in Moira's head. Small touches like these sprinkled throughout the Dawn of X books, which hint that something is ever so slightly off-kilter, are really engaging. I'm glad they didn't stop with Dawn of X proper.

Looking back at X-Men #12 and X of Swords #1, there's an obvious parallel in that both Okkara and Rockslide were cleaved in two by a twilight blade. Hoping that there's more in store for Rockslide than just a shocking death...

The info-dumps continually sprinkled throughout the event about the kingdoms of Otherworld makes suspect what Saturnyne's game is. Ten duels, ten kingdoms? Hmm...

Saoshyant posted:Also for anyone who loves Pog your Pogs, he just got unceremonially written out in the first two pages of this week's X-Force. Not a good start. And it doesn't even make a lick of sense. ???? Hard to call him written out when he returns in literally the next two pages after that. Anyways, this week had finally started to deliver on sword fights, and they shine in no small part because of the time spent developing the Arrakoan combatants in the front half of the series.

It feels especially stupid, in addition to the points above, because of how it seems to obliterate a dangling thread built up in HoX and the recent X-Men/FF crossover.

Saoshyant posted:Man, I love his character expressions, but is it controversial to say he doesn't do action well? He's got a simple, muted style, but I think it works here. His art conveys how out of his depth Cable is, while Gorgon feels like he's making measured blows against bleak overwhelming odds. If it felt a little anticlimatic, it was probably intentional. Where this shines is how the characters react to their defeats.

Don't forget that half of this new Nimrod was just dumped into a singularity. Looking back to PoX, it's hard to see that as coincidental.
