I really enjoyed the Judgment Day prologue. Despite how big the event seems like it'll be, I am genuinely excited and interested in it. Gillen has proven his worth time and again, and this story, while brief, should sufficiently hype people up.
The Bloodline story is very weak. I'm not interested in Blade's daughter, but even if I were, the stilted dialogue in this very short story would drive me away. I'm not sure how long Danny Lore has been writing comics, but in my experience with his work, it reads like someone who doesn't understand how to write comics yet. This story was four pages, and I honestly had trouble getting through it.
The final story, hyping up the Hellfire Gala one-shot, is... Interesting. I have fai more
It was good enough to keep me interested and intrigued about the event.
A: This strip makes the issue for me and actually gets me interested in Judgment Day. That's mainly because it's written by Kieron Gillen; that dude could get a brand-new idea at breakfast and whip it into sounding like inevitable destiny by lunch. I hope he plays a large role in the event.
B: I'm ambivalent. I like the idea of getting Blade out of the Avengers and on his own, but I'm not sure I like doing it by giving him a teenage daughter.
C: While I'm happy to see that robo-Moira is still a part of the X-Men story, I liked the way Benjamin Percy handled her better than this. He didn't saddle her with a bad Scottish accent, for one thing.
Judgement day intro was weak and not enough to give me hope for the event but Gillen has credit in the bank so I'll check it out.
OK we gotta stop the Moira nonsense. We went from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds and it's just bizarre now.
