WHO ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE ATOM?
What are mutants? Where do they come from? And how has the Maker's Council been keeping them under control? All these dark questions and more start to unravel as our heroes investigate a murder that, for some reason, the authorities keep covering up! And Shadow King advances his sinister plots!
Rated T+
Issue #8 pushes the paste of the story of Hi No Kuni as a whole. Word is finally out, the Children of the Atom and consequently, Mutants' lives are about to change. Therefore, they no longer will live in secrecy. I expect a full-scale explosion of new mutants to crowd the cities and towns of the Land of Fire. Peach Momoko clearly has some criticism for cults and its members/victims. The secret nature of the cult allowed Maester to execute his operation in the shadows. Read Full Review
Things are getting pretty serious in Ultimate X-Men #8, with new mutants being revealed and the Children of the Atom cult pushed to act. The series is nearing a dramatic crescendo, and this issue does a lot to get us there. Read Full Review
Ultimate X-Men #8 accomplishes its goal of setting the stage for stronger chapters in this second story arc for the series. Peach Momoko does so much good character work by understanding when the dialogue or artwork should carry different moments. It is a balance that still makes this a comic book you are invested in while reading it. Read Full Review
Ultimate X-Men #8 keeps the energy and pacing up to follow up on the previous issue. Some intriguing developments will catch your attention, and the plot vaguely feels like it's moving toward something. That said, the high pace is offset by a scattered, disjointed plot. Read Full Review
This book is a masterpiece
While it's a little difficult to follow at times, the story and art are next level. I still struggle to believe that Peach Momoko will stay with this long enough to give it a proper run, feels like this story should last at least a couple years, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
