Review: All-New X-Men #15

Posted in Reviews, tagged , , on September 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »

All-New X-Men #15You know what Jean’s true mutant power is? It’s the ability to make everyone fall in love with her.

Seriously, I mean, has there been any straight male character who hasn’t fallen for her at some point? It’s actually really freaking annoying. I can only imagine what it must be like for actual Jean/Scott shippers, hell, even Emma/Scott shippers. I’m kinda glad I don’t care if she gets with Scott, or anyone else for that matter, but if her whole story becomes ‘who will she choose’ kind of thing then I will have to save one of the slaps I’m going to give Remender and slap Bendis.

Bobby is always fun though, the way he’s kinda freaking out about his older self getting it on with Kitty. Then going out to the carnival and being so proud of himself as a mutant despite the fact that he’s heard a lot of bad things about how mutants are treated. It’s nice to see more of that other side, people who like mutants and think they are cool. Though I do wonder how much of it is genuine “mutants are people too” and how much is “mutants are a cool novelty”. I wonder if anyone will be bold enough to really go there on the social commentary…

Oh, and the whole Jean/Rachel thing… it’s kinda stupid but hilarious at the same time. When is someone going to tell Jean that Rachel is her daughter from another timeline? Does Jean already know due to the memories she downloaded? I hope we’ll see…

Review: Deadpool #13

Posted in Reviews, tagged , , on September 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Deadpool #13 (2013)There’s a Shaft joke here, it’s kinda obvious though, maybe that’s why we didn’t get it?

Anyway, they decided to give us another ‘blast from the past’ issue which will lead into something happening in present time. It was fun the first time, and it only works this time because of the fun it had with the Heroes for Hire, but I hope this isn’t a continual theme. If it is, then they will really need to step up their game on the next one.

As for this, a nice little rip on 70s, well, everything. It’s fun and a little sad at the same time. While you have all the clever quips and fourth wall breakage, you also have DP getting rejected, per usual, on so many levels. But in the end it’s just all kinda there… but that could just be me.

Anyway, they promise that they haven’t forgotten about the people who took Deadpool’s liver… I just hope we get somewhere soon with that.

Review: X-Men #4

Posted in Reviews, tagged , , on September 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »

X-Men #4 (2013)Two female characters are fighting and it’s a) not about a guy, b) not about material positions, or c) not just because no reason (looking at you Remender).

The whole fight between Ororo and Rachel was much like the rest of this series, very organic. The team was put together at last minute. Ororo just kinda took charge because she’s a strong alpha-type personality. But she made a decision that didn’t set well with Rachel in the last issue, it was a disagreement not based on men or pettiness. Considering how much pettiness we’ve gotten in a few other titles at the moment, it’s a breath of fresh air.

And can we talk about the cuteness of Jubilee and son? I really wasn’t sure what they were going to do with this plot line, I wondered it was going to just be another trope, Instead we get a nice, very real, moment between Jubilee, adopted son, and father-figure. The whole ‘you can’t go home’ vibe was perfect, take it from someone who knows.

Lastly, loving Rogue in this, she’s perhaps a little too ‘immature’ and hot-dogging it, but she’s a sassy Southern Redneck so what can you do? Kitty and Psylocke are also having some fun, and I love that Psylocke is expanding on her powers the way she is.

Overall, I’m very pleased with this title so far.
