If you're anExcalibur stan, this series is for you. If, like me, you have passing knowledge of Merlyn and Otherworld and Mad Jim Jaspers, you might be a bit confused. Make sure you have Wikipedia handy! Read Full Review
A strong foundation and clear voice but overstuffed and missing some imagination Read Full Review
This issue features nine resurrected mutants, a council of Warworld to balance the Krakoan Quiet Council, an army of Furies and evil versions of people I already knew, and it is really overwhelming, even with the accompanying diagrams. Read Full Review
Knights of X #2 shows a lot of promise and Howard's mini-world is something I hope gets explored further and soon. It's just unfortunate that exploration hasn't yet come in this very series. Read Full Review
It's a fast, fun fantasy adventure. The plot develops rapidly and there's a bit of good character work, too. Everybody on the team has something interesting to do, which is a welcome change of pace.
Some of the scenes trail off messily, particularly toward the end, giving the issue an unfinished feeling. The art's a little short of detail, but it also features some inventive, dynamic blocking.
The storytelling could be improved, but it's already a good comic.
