X-Men Legacy #239 Review
Mike Carey and Clay Mann continue to tell their East Vs. West story with Rogue's ragtag group of X-Men consisting of Magneto, Anole, Indra,and Loa. This all is happening while the other core X-books are focusing on Vampires and Lights on Cerebra's screen. While I found myself really into last issue. I read this one and it didn't quite equal to the level of last issue. They seemed very similar but I didn't like this one nearly as much. It could be that the last issue just came off the end of Second Coming and it delt with some of the problems left over from that or that in this month's book new character Luisa came off as a huge and udder cow. I really do not like this character at this point. I felt a few things she did in this issue not only were pretty stereotypical, but seemed very teenage and angsty. All that said, I liked the action sequence at the beginning beacuse it featured New X-Men characterswhich not get enough screen time. I also really liked the interactions between Rogue & Magneto here.
