X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

X-Treme X-Men #6

Review: X-Treme X-Men #6

This comic just keeps getting better and better.

Seriously, not only are the quips a lot more refined in this issue, along with some hilarious visuals (seriously, Wolverine attacking a Dinosaur, who doesn’t want to see more of that?), but they have been able to touch that very delicate line between being socially conscious versus totally on the nose.

They under play the Governor’s apparent homosexuality quite nicely, not making a huge deal of it while at the same time addressing ‘this reality’s’ take on the subject.

They also segway into the idea that robots ‘are people too’ nice and leanly, instead of attempting to bludgeon us with the concept (BSG, I’m looking at you!).

Lastly, they touch on the fact that even in so-called perfect societies where everyone is given equal rights, equality still doesn’t exist. If that’s not a comment on socialism, I don’t know what is.

I really can’t wait to see where this one goes.
