David's arrival in New York doesn't bring the safety he had hoped it would. And while he does indeed find some heroes, he also finds that they don't know what to do in a world where everyone they ever fought to protect now wants only to blame them for the hell the world has transformed into. Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Well-Bee continue the amazing prequel to the EARTH X trilogy.
Rated T
"Marvels X" #2 sets up a world we've already seen Jim Krueger create and it doesn't feel cheap. Writers, artists, the whole team is giving 150% and producing one of the best limited series in recent history. Read Full Review
MARVELS X #2 is a rather disappointing follow-up to a decent first issue. The very human story of a boy losing his family feels overshadowed by the bombastic goings-on of the infected and superheroes. What started out as something unique now feels like just another superhero story, but hopefully Alex Ross & Jim Krueger can recapture the emotion from issue one moving forward. Read Full Review
Marvels X #2 is a disappointing second that doesn't appear confident about the story it's telling, and an excellent opening splash by Well-Bee only offers it so much fuel to carry on. Read Full Review
I don’t know, I liked parts of it, but this just isn’t speaking to me very much.
This was almost as good as the first issue, so I'm not sure why the reception is a lot less warm this time around. Maybe it's because Spider-Man is depressing, I don't know.
I enjoyed the development. And that conversation at the end, really like their relation and the way David behaves is suggestive.
"We now interrupt your mediocre 'ordinary boy in a super-powered apocalypse' story to bring you a mediocre-y-ier story about the superheroes of that apocalypse."
