CHILDREN OF THE END!
The beings raised in the artificial world of the Vault have known since their first breaths that they stood to inherit the Earth. They just didn't think mutantkind would make it so easy for them. With only Cable and Bishop to stand in their way, the end of human- and mutantkind both is at hand.
Rated T+
Children of the Vault provides one of the few notable victories in the "Fall of X" line as the buddy cop duo of Cable and Bishop deliver big sci-fi solutions to this tech-heavy brand of false saviors. Read Full Review
This was a very heady story that doesn't necessarily pay off all of its potential. It took its swings though, and this sort of writing does excite me for what Deniz Camp does next.
A pretty solid final issue for the series, but also nothing spectacular. I don't really have all that much to say about this one. Everything was just solid when it came to Maresca's art and Camp's story. This miniseries, as a whole, was good and enjoyable, but also one that probably won't end up being all that memorable for me, unfortunately.
The last couple of issues have been less impressive (too many characters, not clear enough significant events). The final issue makes up for any previous shortfalls. This is a concise ending to the mini-series with great interactions between Cable and Bishop. The character don’t like one another, but in previous issues they didn’t seem to always function in the story as a duo. Here they give a great story.
The Children of the Vault are much more coherent as characters. Given they have multiple versions and are presented as if the reader knows they, they can make the story feel inaccessible.
It is unfortunate that the series comes to an end with the suggestion that nothing that happened will appear anywhere else in the X-men, more
