"GOLGOTHA" Part 3 (of 5)
A strange madness is striking mutants in Los Angeles, driving them to commit unspeakable acts. The X-Men must discover the cause and stop it... before it strikes them as well!
Salvador Larroca turns in some lovely work on this issue, as there's some very sharp looking visuals in this issue. The shot where the X-Men have discovered a Golgotha entity beneath Calvary gets the issue off to an exciting start, and there's a lovely shot of the Blackbirds returning to the X-Mansion with the defeated Golgotha entity in tow. The action sequence later in the issue is also quite impressive as there's a cute panel where Wolverine's claws trump those of his attacker, and there's a great impact shot of Polaris delivering an attack, as we see the attack from her vantage point. There's also a nice wince inducing moment involving Logan's rather crude response to the mouthy leader of the Crazy Gang. The final page of this issue has a wonderfully ominous quality about it. I also loved the issue's cover image, as it's a lovely action shot, and I rather enjoyed the visual effects that are used to hint at Iceman's powers. Read Full Review
