Yeah that's confusing.
I wasn't even aware it was $1 more. I'm also interested why?
They added seven more pages.
Yu is back!
Not crazy for Yu's art (not my cup of tee and I think it struggles too much with expressions), but the story and what Hickman is implying here is amazing. Bit of a let down that none of the two pending storylines (Children of the Vault at #5 and Mystique's at #6) are addressed here, but the moral dilemma and implications been touch are so amazing that I feel back in HoX/PoX territory, which is not bad at all.
The problem with Yu has always been using way too much hatching. He needs to have a less is more approach.
Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
Not knowing much about Doug Ramsey. Does his powers include computer coding? If so that's a compelling character.
His power is to understand any kind of language, which yes, includes computer coding.
(best Spock voice) Fascinating.
This issue is absolutely fantastic. Best of the run so far.
That’s probably it lol, keeping an eye on even tweets about other titles has helped me understand my current DoX books. It’s so confusing, but when you find out and realise it’s not, it highlights the genius work put into the Xmen right now.
This was a fantastic issue. Not the biggest fan of Yu's art as his facial expressions always look so awkward, and there's far too much hatching going on, but the story is some of the best I've read. It tackles deeper questions about Krakoa and resurrection. I love the sinister tone and almost mysterious edge to this issue, like Doug Ramsey for example. I think he's a far bigger player in all of this than we realise. I'm also very curious about that building that Nightcrawler visited. Also had a good chuckle at Wolverine's dialogue with Cyclops.
haven't been collecting in a long time. x-men has always been a go-to for me, but being so far out of the loop made me hesitant. boy was I surprised by this issue. The writing, the art and the mood was astounding. I'll be hunting for the first 6 and continuing this series.
@durkblur Glad you're catching up, this is a great series to get back into X-Men collecting. I also highly recommend reading Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X if you haven't already checked that out, as they will really help provide context to a lot of things happening in this current series. Very excited for you!
Right? I mean up to this point he didn't really feature in any of the new X-books, so it was great to have him back on, and the dialogue in this issue was miles better than any of the previous Hickman issues, but I am still not convinced how Xavier could get all of the mutants to get behind something like the Crucible. Especially Kurt.
Honestly, exploring the ramifications and trauma of Scarlet Witch's "No more mutants" decree is interesting and definitely factors into how the mutants could tolerate the Crucible. In Marvel time, the Decimation is probably only a few years old still. There's been a profound shift in mutant society on top of all of this trauma.
I do think the Crucible is interesting. No I meant his last line. Nobody needs a mutant religion.
I think it's a fascinating topic to explore!
Haven't read this yet but I like the enthusiasm! :)
The narrative here is the strongest in quite some time. Heavily enjoyed this issue.
