X-Treme X-Men #9
On the tail of learning that X-Treme X-Men has been cancelled, issue number 9 was released. I have to admit, I took my time getting to it because I’ve enjoyed X-Treme’s run so much and didn’t really want it to be over so soon.
I did break down and read issue 9 and, amazingly, I was kinda disappointed. For the first time since issue 3, there was a drop in the quality of the storytelling. It wasn’t a bad issue, just, well, kinda basic and predictable.
Nothing very special about Dazzler surviving her stabbing. Nothing too off-kilter about the current world. Then the alt-Dazzler storyline is neatly wrapped up and she’s out of the picture.
Considering some of the stuff that has happened in these comics and how they have been defying convention, I just expected more. This wouldn’t have been enough to make me consider dropping the title (if it wasn’t already cancelled), but I really do hope this was just a dip and that the title will go out with a bang.
