Pairs well with: current X-Men stuff but this is better than that, as well as the recent Rogue & Gambit miniseries. I also thought that Gambit and Rogue were written better than they have been in quite some time. X hit all the right notes for me, the art was pretty good and I even enjoyed the humor in this. This brought me back to the place I was at when I was first reading cosmic X-Men tales.
We also got to see the Starjammers in action and there was some good Shi’ar Empire stuff. I liked the story and I even liked the Deadpool cameo despite being really over the character. The sum of all the parts equaled something enjoyable. I have always been a sucker for the cosmic side of the Marvel universe and this is two mutant honeymooners on a cosmic adventure. That won’t be out for several months but since I’ve read this, I’m reviewing it now, while it’s fresh in my memory. Now, five issues deep, I have reached the end of the first story arc, which is being collected into the first trade paperback. Well, their assessment was correct, as I thoroughly enjoyed the issue so much that I added this title to my pull list.
However, a few people whose opinions I respect said that the first issue was a nice departure from the humdrum world of the modern X-Men and that the story was pretty fun. It’s sad but one of my favorite parts of the Marvel universe has not produced anything I’ve cared about, outside of Old Man Logan, in serveral years.Īlso, I’m not a big fan of Gambit or Rogue, even though they were front and center in the era where I read X-Men titles like a church lady reads that King James book. I didn’t have much urge to read this, as all the X-Men books over the last few years have been terrible.
