Rated T+
Even though it's an X-Men story that's been told time and time before, but Guggenheim and Garcia manage to continue keeping Days of Future Past Doomsday fresh with its sophomore issue here. Read Full Review
There is some poetry to the way that Guggenheim is framing the former future history, which was not destined to be the presents present on the comics page. The issue opens with a funeral and ends with a wedding. Theres a great deal of potential in a closer look at Claremont and Byrnes Days of Future Past, but Guggenheim is rushing through events in the course of the series. A more satisfying approach might involve a whole subset of issues set in that dark future. Rachel Summers saga during the era would be interesting enough to warrant its own series. Read Full Review
I appreciate the shift towards more immediate, present-tense storytelling. And there's plenty of grim plot development. This issue moves past stage setting to actual drama, with plenty of memorable dialogue and solid art for both action scenes and quieter conversations.
Bonus: I like the "origin" for Ahab, corny as it is. I know little about him and never wanted to learn more, but this is a tolerable place to start.
