Favourite Shorts & One-Shots
Short tales with great stories. In no particular order.
List items
-
The great backstory of Laura's creation. The art is good and the story was better then I was expecting. And I was given really good reviews, so that's saying something.
-
The continuation of X-23; Innocence Lost. Really well done and the art in this one? WAY F***ing amazing.
-
I love the look into what happened to the NYX cast (although I'd love it even more if they'd join Laura at Scott's school). I also have a thing for character building and it also brings what Laura went though more into canon. I know a lot of people never read NYX and this sort of give a brief overview to them.
-
A pointless story of how Willow met the snakewoman. Although the interaction between Kennedy and Willow is priceless and I **love** the image of Tara and how Willow reacts to seing her.
-
The story of the Cuckoos. Again, brilliant art and wonderfully written. I would rec this to everyone. It's got the cast of the origonal X-Men and shows a side of Frost that would probably be expected of anyone yet still a little bit of a shock coming from her. In many ways, it gives her more humanity then the Emma Frost short ever did.
-
This series didn't get nearly the attention it deserved. It was well drawn and really well written. I'm not really a fan of Storm, but this was really well done all the way around.
-
I love Layla. Pure and simple. But I believe I would have loved this story regardless. The story is well written and a great lead-in to when she's reintorduced in X-Factor (III).
-
Another great X-Factor one-shot. I really am *not* a Quicksilver fan, but this is a well done story.
-
Amazing collection on short stories of what happened to the individuals after the Xavier Institute was closed.
-
Reintroduction of Darkchilde and another story of the Nex X-Men in hell. Sounds stupid, but I really liked it.
-
Small views into what lead up to Illyana's death. Kinda lame attempt at making a comic without actually doing anything other then re-assembling old stories, but at the same time, they are *good* excerpts. If I'd know what it was, I probably wouldn't have bought it, but I would recommend reading it. If anyone wants to borrow it from me, let me know ^_~
