X-Termination – Part Two takes place in the latest Astonishing X-Men. They pretty much figure out that there is no way they can take on these things in straight combat… and everyone is kinda screwed.
Although there is a lot of fighting and stuff going on, this issue really feels like a filler or set-up issue. Everyone is together now, all introductions have been made, the bad guys are established, now let’s go kick their butts.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just nothing to write home about. I mean, they tease about ‘oh, Bobby could get stuck in AoA world’ but like that will really happen? A lot of this is stuff we can see coming a mile away.
Though, there was a really nice touch with the two Kurt’s. They are both so very much damaged but they don’t see that in each other. Yes, doesn’t matter which Kurt it is, he always brings the feels.
Oh, and the Sabretooth and Son act was kinda fun too.
