Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus Reviewed

"X-23's torso was seriously too long. It is also silly how fast everyone can seem to heal now. Though, I did notice something in this book. Look at Daken in Norman's press conference. He's still showing cuts. Of all the people who should of healed and been fine by then. The others who were pretty much gutted are somehow standing fine. Seriously, there are only about 200 mutants left in the world with their powers now. If the Utopia can hold at least that many, plus a little extra, they are alright. "

"I have to say that the covers on Utopia are horrendous with those lines and bars. "

I haven't read X-men because of just that.  To many characters and not enough character development.  Everybody just pissed of because of something.  The book is over loaded with to many charcters and lost what it's appeal was to begin with.  A team.  A few members, a cameo every other story,  At the end of the year one person left, one person came in.  Now it's more like the X - university.  Like the X-men are  becoming the Inhumans. I don't know the whole story, I don't read X-men, but didn't the Inhumans have Atlantas as an Island utopia.  Why don't they just go to Savage land.

Well.  You pretty much hit the nail on the head when you said you don't read X-Men.  It's been a bunch of mutants jam-packed into a story for twenty years.  Sometimes it's been great, and sometimes it hasn't been.  Do you read the Inhumans?  Outside of the royal family, only a handful of individuals has come and gone.  I don't see what you're trying to say with that comparison.   So many people rip on books they don't read.  Why is that? As far as the COBRA ISLAND jazz, really?!  It's Asteroid M, and obviously Scott's going to have it's owner wondering what's going on with the NATION X bit coming up.  With MAGS being all over the new solicits coming out in the next few months, it makes sense.  Besides, we knew it was never going to be the X-Men that took Norman down.  IMO the X-Men just softened Normie up for the coup de grace. "

thing everything is solved in the 'the list' series

Utopia is just one big arc to show just how awesome and bad ass Cyclops is.

As far as the COBRA ISLAND jazz, really?!  "

Yes it is.  So far it has been referred to as Asteroid M; not as Utopia... yet.  But it's daft, all these years the X-Men have been trying to integrate with society.  They've had numerous chances to join Magneto on Asteroid M and in Genosha.  So now they've reclaimed Asteroid M to live Magneto's dream?  It doesn't make sense.

i think it is, good observation... now that namor and emma are back with the x-men, osborn don't stand a chance...guess who made it on osborn's list   ^_^ "

I was expecting more epic fighting going on as each of them toke down the dark avengers they were fighting but all you really get his dani fight scene, scott as the only X-man to lose and everyone else either tying with their opponent or beating them off panel.

1st issue of utopia was AWESOME.  The conclusion sucked soooo badd, coulda been a million times better

Dodson should've done the whole issue! - and Is Dani gonna be a Valkyrie for good?

" Also, this concept was better utilized in Paul Jenkin's Inhumans miniseries. "

I enjoyed it, the focus it had on the Dark-X-men was interesting. :D 
 
 
Needed moar Hellion!  D:<

That's true. I wanted to see more of the Dani as the Valkyrie fight, and I was expecting awesome fight scenes.
 
I didn't like the art. All the different positions confused me as to where exactly were they.
 
Poor Emma! :(

Loved it

IMO that line by Scott was the best in the book. It shows how confident Scott was in his plan and that he was ready for everything Osborn was going to throw at him.  I would be smiling too if my god killer made it to the fight.
 
At this point there are waaay too many mutants to cover to show a lot of individual fights (where's Hepzibah?) I'll admit there were a few random match ups where I would have preferred to see other characters. But the focus was using the key players to take down the Avengers/Dark X-Men.

It could of been better

It wasn't that great.

I liked it a lot but I feel it was a little rushed their were parts that I would have liked to see elaborated on also there are some people that I would have liked to have seen more of.

Thank you, G-man for bringing up the Dark Beast thing.

Yeah good stuff G-man. Can't really add much more myself other then I was looking forward to Utopia but it did seem to just fizzle out a little towards the end but Exodus seemed to bring a little bit of life back into the precedings. Going to still follow the Dark X-men but also X-men in general which I have never done before.
