On the road again.
Issue 4 of X-23.
The Story: Laura is on the road too search for herself and hitchhikes to a diner and meets a young girl and her pimp.After finding them a few miles away and the girl dead Laura kills her pimp and Gambit comes and searche's the body to find a picture of Laura.They are heading to a town called Flagstaff but get chased by the policew and the young girl and meet Miss Sinister.
The Good:
Marjorie Liu is great at dialogue between characters,the way that Laura speaks in a very straight-forward manner and everybody else is obviously not wanting to answer especially the girl.Will Conrad's art is great escially Miss Sinister is revealed at the end is really spectacular and she looks splendid.The Bad:
I realized what a huge problem this series has,it's that Marjorie takes a bit to much time on talking and not enough of moving the storie forward.The first arc could have easily been 2 issue and this issue 3.Also the part with Gambit and his tarot cards was kinda pointless but it did serve as what might happen later on.The Verdict: This issue was good but Marjorie should definitely pick up the pace quickly but the art is good and the plot is going to an interesting place.This is a buy.
Well this was my last review for the year and I gotta say Comic Vine is problably my favorite website now.Hopefully next year will hold more great comics or more that suck ass so I could bitch at.See ya until 2011.
