Planet X - part 4: Phoenix in Darkness
Okay this is when New X-men gets way toooooooo emotional for me! Okay Xorn is REALLY Magneto and he along with other former new x-men members on his team are ready to battle the x-men..... yeah right! HE wants to work alone, leading him to kill Basilisk (poor kid) and soon ambitious Esme who wanted to work with him (MAN that pisses me off she was like on his side!)
anyways the issue is just full of deaths and just Magneto going WAY too low! Well the X-men soon come to battle.......
This issue was good and but went to far in my opinion....... Loved the art :P
Planet X - part 4: Phoenix in Darkness
Initially, the character of Xorn seemed brilliant. A mutant with a, ahem, star inside his head. That's Grant Morrison messing with all our heads. As usual. Still, he appeared as a very sympathetic character, empathic with the 'special needs' class of mutants to which he was assigned. However, as time went on, gradually it is revealed that the gentle Xorn is none other than Magneto. How does one sum up this tension? This new darkness? Well, a compelling image like this one does the trick. Xorn in shadows, staring out, his hands at his side like a Western gunslinger. This isn't a good look. This isn't he we thought he was all along. Brilliant stuff. I'm not entirely sure who did this cover - I notice that Phil Jimenez is the artist demarcated for the issue, so perhaps it's him.
