This issue really doesn't have much of a point to make, and it can easily be avoided... assuming that you haven't already purchased it. Read Full Review

This title ended at #16 and we're deep into "DVD extra" territory with these last four one-shots. In this one, Sapna picks the Absolute Worst Moment to bug Illyana about her afterlife in the Soulsword. Jeff Lemire employs some questionable plotting and forgettable dialogue to revisit the fate of the protege Magik had to kill three issues back. The "blah" writing is elevated by some gorgeous art provided by Eric Koda. I'm amazed at his command of anatomy, expressions, and lighting. It's well worth a look-see, particularly for us Marvel Unlimited subscribers who don't have to get resentful about dropping cash on an issue that is beautiful but undeniably superfluous.

I know one shots are supposed to tie up loose ends here and there but it just seems like I didn't care about Sapna. Sucks and she could have made a great addition if they kept her alive but they didn't and now it's just blah. I hope the next and final issue goes out with a bang. Art of Koda and Hollowell is on point though.
