X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Wolverine and the X-Men #22

Review: Wolverine and the X-Men #22

This is a little late, to be honest I ran out of time and then forgot to add it. I forgot likely because while this issue was better than #21, it still wasn’t quite up to par with some earlier WatX issues.

It was good to see that at least a couple of the adults were able to work through the mind control and it’s not, in typical kid’s show fashion, left to the kids alone to save the day. Kitty’s reaction to throwing a kid through a window was kinda priceless.

I’m not really happy with the sheer amount of death that seems to be all over this comic, both of adults and kids. Course, that’s an issue I have with a lot of the comics right now so not really going to go into it right now.

The Frankenstein story which came out of nowhere last issue still isn’t all that engaging, especially as we know very little about the Hellfire Club member who apparently is the last descendent of ‘The’ Doctor Frankenstein. Granted, we’re learning about him now but having previously very little contact with him makes this sudden thrust of his ‘origin story’ a bit random and we have nothing to reconcile it with.

It is fun to see the characters act OTT but still something in character, some good one liners and all that, but so far this all just fills like, well, filler.
