THE IMPOSSIBLE TEAM ON AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST!
The Dead X-Men leap across time and space in a last-ditch effort to prevent catastrophe, but they're not the only ones breaking through the fabric of reality! As these five mutants go places no one has gone before, a cloaked figure stalks them from the shadows...and nothing will survive if she reaches her goal!
Rated T+
This story snaps, crackles and pops. I am excited to see where this fuse leads. Read Full Review
It's camp to the fullest, and that's something this issue wears proud. Read Full Review
I feel like the idea of this series is more interesting than the actual series itself. I think it's cool that this team gets to be the main one of a miniseries, but they also feel a little lifeless at the same time. Even the art isn't all that great here. The art in the first pew pages is pretty solid, but it goes downhill once the team travels to Moira's seventh life, in my opinion.
Art: 2.5/5
Story 3/5
Total: 5.5/10
Steve Foxe is proving that some dead things may be better off left in their graves. I'm really struggling to see what distinguishes this title other than it was a great opportunity to placate fans and bring back an X-Men lineup that never got to see the light day.
Through two issues, Dead X-Men has leaned into the trope of a desperate team sent on a seemingly impossible mission with limited time & resources. While this formula can be effective (superheroes have been doing this for decades!), Dead X-Men has lacked the originality needed to stand out, even in a world where many Fall of X titles aren't great.
The team's personalities and abilities aren't being fully utilized. You could replace them with any mutants and th more
There’s plot, but there is zero characterization. The team could be replaced with another team mid way and we wouldn’t have noticed because each one was super generic.
