X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

X-Men Legacy #5

Review: X-Men Legacy #5

Just because a title is about a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder doesn’t mean it has to be schizophrenic.

That being said, issue #5 of X-Men Legacy is much more grounded and balanced than previous issues. The story isn’t all over the place and even through three things are going on at once it’s all very well laid out. Blindfold’s background is rather interesting and I admit I did not see that coming with her brother. At the same time though, it is one big trope with very little originality in it, just one of the issue’s faults.

Continued is the constant belittling of the X-Men. It’s gone from a legitimate point of view to just down right blog worthy trolling (well, he does have the hair for it). Okay, we get it, he doesn’t like the X-Men because they have done some stupid things in the past, let’s move on. Blindfold’s scene in an earlier issue where she says “I think I am meant to be your nemesis” totally has the wind taken out of its sail by blotchy dialogue from David.

This comic isn’t really bad, not like Uncanny Avengers #3 was really bad, but it’s just not good either. It’s still worth keeping on the pull list, there is places this could go that would make it a rather spectacular title… I just hope it gets there.
