While there was wonderful characterization of Nightcrawler in the first issue, I was worried about how everyone else was treated. It was all kinda… off. Then I read issue #2 and it is so much better, especially with Storm kicking butt and proving why you do not want to mess with her, and Bobby shows signs of his Astonishing X-Men days, and Northstar is having way to much fun.
Sergeant Snikt, meet Captain Stabby Pants.
That’s just gold.
But other than establish that Wolvie and Northstar were sent to Heaven (ironically) and Storm, Iceman and Firestar were sent to Hell (also ironic), there isn’t much to this issue other than some down and dirty fighting, plus a cameo from Xavier. Yeah, if ghost-Xavier is going to be a thing, then this totally won’t end well for anyone.
There is nothing wrong with an issue of fun and fighting because, well, it’s fun! It did actually further the plot too as it put all our characters into motion.
Then we have our wonderful Kurt, a Captain without a ship, who is going to do some solid butt kicking here soon… and I can not wait.
