• One of Legion's most troublesome personalities threatens to annihilate an alien species!
• S.W.O.R.D. director Abigail Brand is on the case - but will she be able to work with David to solve this extraterrestrial conundrum?
• Odd couple adventures ensue as David and Brand team up to stop the destruction before it begins!
This dialogue heavy issue of X-Men Legacy's 19th issue is nothing to look over. David is really being put in the ringer, and I can't wait to see how he's going to make things better or how he's going to change. Read Full Review
Legion knows what's coming and tries to explain to Aarusthat they can find another way. I'm dying to see how he fights off this weapon which can kill nearly anything. The big reveal on what the weapon actually is was just about the last thing I would have expected. It's fitting have itintroduced in the realm of the X-Men and I wonder if it will continue to be used down the line. Read Full Review
Issue #19 sets up the next arc extremely well, and Im excited to see where this inventive writer will take David next. Read Full Review
Experimenting a bit with the narrative while moving the book forward, the creative team of Spurrier, Huat, Yeung and Villarrubia manage to give a thoroughly satisfying issue that plays with each of their strengths. A very nice issue overall. Read Full Review
We all know what to expect from Tan Eng Huat's art at this point. He's great at capturing the more surreal elements of Spurrier's writing, a fact which comes in very handy this month in light of Aarkus' telepathic exposition. But Huat's figures continue to be problematic, between the overly masculine female characters and the general lack of consistency to elements like facial features. These quirks are certainly easy enough to tolerate in light of the overall package, but they also prevent the book from achieving its full potential. Read Full Review
As X-Men: Legacy races toward its end, I have to savor each new issue. As I said above, its really refreshing to be exposed to a series that not only wholly surprised you as a reader, but has a defined direction from the very start of the story. Every issue has been a new puzzle piece to slot into the one that came before it, and I cannot wait to see the completed piece. We are in for something truly amazing. Read Full Review
Listen...Simon Spurrier is a fantastic writer; one of my favourites in fact. That said, some of the issues in this run have been bogged down by FAR too many words. It's so text-heavy that the story doesn't get a chance to breathe, and it makes it a bit of a slog to read. It's not helped by the lackluster artwork either. Like with Tom King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, I don't mind reading a ton of words if I get to stare at beautiful art while I do. Unfortunately, that's just not the case here. I feel like a 7/10 is generous for this one.
