The Good
Art- What I wouldn’t pay to switch Francavilla off this book as regular artist and have Jeft Palo! The art has a noir feel but a very great action vibe! Colors and inks also see a bump in dynamics this issue.
Story- I liked the use and execution of having T’challa face off with Kraven. Storm was also used well especially after the terrible was she is often implemented in the recent X-men line of books.
Continuity- I liked that Liss was aware of the x-men’s resident teleporter Pixie and the happenings on Utopia. Nice touch.
The Bad
Storm- I honestly thought her insertion into this story could have just as easily been Spider-man of anyone else. The Panel time she’s given and the use of her powers made it a lackluster Cameo at best. She was also pretty useless for an Omega class mutant. Not to mention I found her characterization just plain Off!
The Boy- I won’t wast my time typing out his name as the little tug of war due to simply touching him leading to controlling him felt like a glorified game of Tug of War.
Storm’s attire- Someone give Bianchi some glasses please Storm no longer wears that hideous “mad max thunder dome” inspired ugly white costume he designed on the abysmal Astonishing X-men so why is it on the cover?
The Ugly
3/5
