I've been thoroughly enjoying the artwork in Mystique, and the second installment is no exception. Matt Hollingsworth does an amazing job with the colors in Mystique #3, making each page visually captivating. The colors were so beautifully done throughout the comic, but I think Hollingsworth's talent is really showcased in one large panel of Mystique walking away from the city skyline. It was absolutely stunning, and was easily my favorite piece of the artwork in the comic. Read Full Review
This bulk of this issue is basically a big fight scene that may be of limited interest or comprehensiveness to those not reading the Sentinels series. I always enjoy seeing Fabian Cortez, but I have less than zero interest in Mystique gaining the type of powerup seen in this issue. I’m still enjoying this more than the majority of the “From The Ashes” books, but I outright hate the new Sentinels team and the apparent direction of Mystique’s power-set. I’ll certainly finish out this limited series, but some of the choices being made here are likely to put off readers rather than bring more in.
Not a bad issue here, even if, like, half of it is the same stuff we got in the current Sentinels miniseries from Alex Paknadel. I did really appreciate this giving us an explanation of how Magneto was at normal strength (well, kind of, as we don't currently know how Mystique was able to utilize his abilities). That said, I do think that was the only reason this issue was needed. I didn't feel as though this was a necessary chapter in the story Shalvey has been telling thus far.
