CAN THE X-MEN SURVIVE MOJOWORLD? IT'S A LONGSHOT!
Ann Nocenti returns to her co-creation with an all-new story set after the original LONGSHOT miniseries! Longshot's adventure on Earth may be over, but before he can continue his mission, he's pulled into Mojoworld for a multipicture deal he simply can't refuse. And when WOLVERINE and SHADOWCAT investigate the mysterious psionic disturbance, will they be able to escape the pull of Mojoworld before things SPIRAL out of control?
RATED T+
Also featured in the cast are Kitty Pryde, Lockheed, and Spiral. And its really nice to see Spiral stand up to Mojo as best as she can. The story continues next month with the next issue of X-Men Legends. It isnt going to run for a whole lot longer, though. The contemporary comic book audience has grown into a fervor over disgusting real-world Mojo types like Zack Snyder and James Cameron. Nocentis working in a contemporary era that follows every last detail from Disney and Warner Brothers. Would it be too much to ask for Nocenti to be allowed to run an extended satire on the current superhero film culture with a new Longshot series? Please? Read Full Review
If not for a reference to emoji, X-Men: Legends #3 could be titled Longshot #7 and have come out right after the end of the original Longshot miniseries, and that's perfect. Read Full Review
X-Men Legends #3 is an excellent comic for people who enjoyed the original Mojoverse introduction but may fall flat for the new reader. Read Full Review
Overall, this is definitely an experience. It's not a series I would read again just because it doesn't appeal to me, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just something that I still have no idea what my own opinion is about the issue and the story. So this is one that you should try to read an issue (maybe cheap on digital or borrow someone's first) to see if this is something you'd like to read for yourself. Read Full Review
Nocenti has Mojo's voice so spot on it's perfect. Longshot + Wolverine + Shadowcat? What's not to like, I will read on.
The plot is just as vestigial as I expected, but I enjoyed the demented meta-commentary more than I thought I would. The art's nice and clean. Most of all, though, this issue gets me excited about seeing some Spiral rebellion in the next one.
