its 1992 again
So we've got a storyline in the Annuals only. When i first heard about this i was somewhat excited, but upon reading Uncanny X-Men Annual i was let down. PROFOUNDLY. Once again what sounds like a good idea on paper (pardon the pun) was poorly executed, this seems to be a new Marvel tradition.
The X-men in the Negative zone was something i was interested in reading about. Now I know to read annuals first before buying them. This book isnt as bad as say "Cry For Justice" or anything that head bangingly horrible but you look at the names and i feel that if someone a bit more (no offense) A or B- list would have made this a great story and fun opening chapter. But two people ive never heard of shouldnt be writing the X-men. Maybe a D- list spinoff maybe. The story was "meh" . The opening page homage to "Professor Xavier is a jerk" fell flat on its face. From there every page aftwerwards fell flat as well. The art was strange. All of the women in the book looked like little girls dressed up as grown ups with stuffed shirts as well. I do hope that Nicholas Bradshaw never ever gets near the X-Babies dear god there will be a law suit from parents. There was one two page spread that had a tentacled dinosaur that was very good. Nicholas would be great drawing possibly a Devil Dinosaur book or something similar as long as there are no humans in it.
Im not sure if this book was bad or no one felt like trying and just threw it out there lazily.
The Good
Umm... the covers kinda pretty
The Bad
EVERYTHING.
The Ugly
The art, the writing, the feeling that if this is the first chapter what the bloody hell is the rest of the series gonna be like. Leave it on the shelf.
