    Gone

    I guess there's just no other word to express my feelings towards this finale as good as this review title does. It's an issue that was moving not just because of the way it ended, but because of it being the very last one from Whedon-Cassaday run -- which was a landmark one, overall, in the history of the X-titles.

    Whedon's writing is practically flawless by describing each character's personality - from the good ol' Spider-humor to Colossus' anger with an entire alien world which he was predicted to destroy, yet a world he struggles to understand.

    Cassaday's art is something special as well. For each page, every facial expression looks incredibly real and able to give us the correct impression of what is going on in the minds of the characters. It is as if they had known how things were to going to end somehow, but they would eventually keep fighting nonetheless.

    That's why I keep on saying...astonishing, just astonishing...

    And the best of luck for you, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Bianchi! Can't wait for your Astonishing X-Men #26!





    Fechando uma boa fase com chave de ouro!

    Apos uma pequena espera chega finalmente a conclusao da fase joss no titulo mutante.

    E que boa fase diga-se de passagem.

    Vou dar uma pincelada no que ele fez nesse tempo com cada mutante.

    Emma frost no grupo foi uma otima sacada, e o misterio em torno dela ser ou nao ser uma vila foi muito bem desenvolvido, tanto que a personagem caiu ainda mais no gosto do publico.

    Ciclope cresceu como personagem, saindo daquela apatia que antigos escritores vinham impondo, e provou que se bem trabalhado se torna um membro muito interessante da equipe.

    Wolverine, o que se falar do arroz de festa da marvel, ele foi o wolverine, salvo aquela edicao que ele fica indefeso perante a um Fera bestial.

    Fera: outro personagem bem trabalhado, nao ia muito com a lata dele nao mas apos essa fase ele entrou pros meus preferidos.

    Colossus: sim ele trouxe o colossus de volta e com uma boa explicacao pra isso. Finalmente os fãs viram o romance dele com a Kitty acontecer.

    A kitty foi bem explorada, ela foi uma especie de buffy terminando como em uma temporada da caça vampiros, leiam a edicao para saber.

    E a personagem nova hum e nova demais ainda para se dizer algo.

    O que nao curti foi o Ord e a Danger, viloes fracos e sem motivação, espero que os novos viloes da nova por assim dizer temporada sejam melhores.

    Bem da ultima edição...

    Muitos herois, trama meio sem porque, mas com boas cenas de ação, drama etc um verdadeiro fim de temporada para os fãs da serie.
