May 08, 2024Angel gets the spotlight in Marvel's Giant-Size X-Men one-shot, which features a new story and a reprint of Marvel Two-In-One #68. The latter also features Angel in a fun team-up with The Thing, and it pairs quite well with the more introspective lead-story from Ann Nocenti, Lee Ferguson, KJ Diaz, and Cory Petit.

I read this as part of my effort to fully catch up on the X-line, and uhhh, I could've skipped it! It's awkward.

It's a rather typical latter-day Ann Nocenti joint: It hangs some sharp one-liners and some dull philosophizing on a deceptively simple premise. It concentrates even more on psychology and feelings than is usual for the author, and that could easily disappoint a reader (as could the slow, digressive pace).
I think the net effect is decent, though, or at least harmless. The story's helped along by some imaginative art that suits the tone of the script. The new villain shows some promise, too.
