X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Apparently I can’t count… and am entirely too trusting.

My comic shop skipped pulling issue #8 when it came out and I didn’t notice because I trust him to keep me solid. Then I got #9 last week, read it, was a tad confused how Elsa got there but rolled with it because, hey, it’s a comic book.  Then I went to review #9 and it literally took me five minutes to figure that one out. Good thing I’m a writer cause math is totally not my strong suit.

Anyway this was a nice little jump filler issue. We get the introduction of a new character to the gang and a less in sassiness from Misty. It also opens up the door for some very interesting things in the future regarding the Shield Maidens. If an engineered Brood could be one… definitely some interesting possibilities there. Which means this filler does exactly what it was designed to do, transition to the next story arc.

Speaking of which, LeFay is up to no good again, and that can only mean trouble. Something I would have figured even if I hadn’t read #9.
