Mar 31, 2021X-Men Legends #2 is a fine "final" chapter of a tale decades in the making. The ending shocked me but in a way that left me feeling that while it is an ending to this chapter of the Summers family, it's an ending that shows they were all just pawns in a game, and were manipulated the entire time. A sad ending, but one that showed just what a bad dude Sinister really is. And while I'm sad this story is ending I am looking forward to the next installment of X-Men Legends and a new story!

Comic Watch - Matt Meyer
Mar 31, 2021X-Men Legends #2 answers the long-standing question of who the third Summers brother is with a thud of anticlimactic exposition, burdened further by an over-abundancy of continuity backbends. Couple that with an artist that still draws like it's the '90s, and you have a pretty major letdown of a comic. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - M.R. Jafri
Apr 01, 2021This comic is a celebration of so much that we loved and hated from the 90s and in many ways the art, wordiness and character work mirror the excesses of the 90s X-Men run. Unfortunately nostalgia and the ending of a long held mystery alone aren't enough to make this a book worth recommending. Read Full Review

Mar 31, 2021The idea of a series existing alongside the main X-Men line that revisits eras from the past isn't inherently a bad one. However, this is a prime example of how to go about it in all of the wrong ways. Read Full Review

While I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first issue, it was still a fun read. It ended exactly the way I expected it to, which is a bit disappointing but there's not really any other way to do it.

Glad this wasn't long winded like tbat recent Liefeld book with Storm & Cable's son. This was cool, with a nice little peek into the Summer's family tree. My only problem was some of the shading with the pencils. Looking forward to another art team for the next arc. - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard

Adam-X stabilizes his situation in this slow, clunky exposition-fest. There's not enough conflict and what is there isn't memorable; to cap it off, it gets a mindwipe resolution that's inherently frustrating. But the art is still solid (even if the style isn't my favorite) and I found the prose a lot smoother than in the previous issue.

Very overwrought and 90s, but that's kinda the point, I guess.
