Carey Carey quite Contrary
Well as my title and score can give away this issue was a step up from the previous arc it's what I wanted in the serious characters interacting, using powers, (alas no fighting) but still an awesome read.
Plot
After the destruction of San Francisco by Bastion and the X-Men's ability to blow it off for a trip to India, the team finally get to work and put in their abilities to tidy up the place until a returned (and hugely missed) Karima aka Omega Sentinel malfunctions.
My Opinion
Well this issue as stated was great the dialogue, the interactions, and the use of power all make up a great issue. We start the issue off with Kavita Rao explaining to Cyclops what all went down the day of the the event (supposedly the end of this arc). We see Hellion being fitted with his Cyberknetic arms and his eventual whining on the issue (geez Keller get over it maybe if you treated Elixir better or at least aknowledged him he'd still be there to reform your nubs) then he takes them off when Rogue steps in to ask him to go down to the bay and fix things up. Later we see the particular line-up for the clean up (ups to Davidson for his portrayl of Magneto as a dark figure with eyes....thats it I'll explain later). What I like about this line up (besides Rogue and the wild card inclusion of Random) is that this is a pretty cool team just to go clean up and they have chemistry together especially from Necrosha.
My only problem is Hope's lack of power and her obligation (and everyone's need to point it out) for doing something good. I know she needs to do something but really Hope stay in a childs place, we all saw how you longingly looked at that hair set you still have unresolved issues about being a kid you and the writers need to work that out, you picking a fight with every boss on why you should be able to do something is getting old along with Mr. Kellar and his "my arms are gone and now people who care about me are trying to help so i'm emotinal" other than that it was alright. Soon Omega Sentinel's functioning goes out of wack soon her default Sentinel networking override her mind meaning Mutant Hunting Season opens and a To Be Continued. What I didn't really understand was Omega Sentinel; when and how did she come back and were we supossed react how everyone in the issue did pretend like nothing happened Malice or no Malice? Either way I just hope Karima makes it through this arc. The art was a little strange one minute we see faces pretty much rounded off but by the next panel they look like block heads, they seem kind of disney-esque I like cartoony art like Chris Bachalo but he is no Bachalo
Verdict
4.0 Out Of 5
