Venus Dee Milo returns! But how does the formerly deceased teleporter play into Zeitgeist's plan to mutant godhood? The brightest stars always burn out the fastest. And when it comes to Zeitgeist's infamy, a backstabbing teammate will do just the trick!
Rated T+
Zeitgeist's plans feel like they've been in motion for five years, and the nucleus of the story feels like it's not all together anymore, but it looks great. Read Full Review
With Zeitgeist still teetering on the verge of godhood, his own team still unsuccessfully plotting against him, and the X-Statix still bemoaning their position, The X-Cellent #4 reads like a miniseries with one too many issues spinning its wheels. Read Full Review
As I have said with each issue, the art is brilliant. That is a given with this series. I’ve really been enjoying this arc and characters, but there’s been a lingering feeling that the plot has been plodding along. That becomes apparent in this issue, where most characters have nothing to do, and the narration from Hurt John adds little to his personality. As a stand-alone issue, this was disappointing, but I’m looking forward to the finale next issue!
