X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

X-Men Legacy #2

Review: X-Men Legacy #2

Issue 2 of the new X-Men Legacy run is still establishing Legion’s character, showing how he is reacting to the death of his father and the fact his mind is a mess of egos.

It’s really kinda blah.

This other mutant is different in that he’s a very racist mutant, interesting to see the story go there, and he manipulated Legion rather easily. But then he’s gone putting whatever plans he had into motion. It’s a plot point we’ll hopefully see more of otherwise it’s a disappointment.

I’m kinda annoyed at all the cursing that’s done in this book. Now, I’m not one to shy away from cursing, I get very creative while driving in traffic, but pointless cursing bugs me. Cursing for the sake of cursing, which is exactly what’s going on here only replaced with funny symbols since they can’t actually write those words on paper, shows a lack of finesse in both story telling and dialogue. It’s a false crutch to create some kind of emotional drama.

Blah.

Let’s hope once they get out of the character creation stage and into the meat of the story they won’t waste so much speech bubble on it.
