X-men Outback. Lord almighty. Im going to say it. Steve Freakin Orlando is writing the best Xmen book in Marvel right now. But thats like dunking on a kid in a wheelchair. This comic has Maddie tryin to hack Reaver tech all night but she triggers a hidden super reaver named Godshredder who looks like the adamantine mixed with beta ray bill. Godshredder sends out drones that mind control each of the xmen except Wolverine. Logan then goes on to take out each team mate one by one. Until he goes one on one with the villain. we move at a lighting pace through the issue. We see Logan vs each xman in 1-2 panel battles with text summarizing what happened. Missing out on what could have been a few issue story line.. all just thrown away. The r more

Better than the first issue, but the character of Godshredder doesn’t make much sense to me. Also, there’s a lot of “tell not show” in the way Wolverine takes out the X-Men. Orlando and Segovia basically skip the most exciting part of the story, and I can’t help but imagine how Claremont and Silvestri would have executed this sequence. Silvestri would have given us fantastic action and coolness, showcasing all the X-Men’s powers and capabilities.
Orlando is trying to emulate Claremont’s dialogue style, but it seems that all he remembers is that Claremont sometimes gave his characters a very stilted way of speaking.
The result is another forgettable issue - the only excitement I felt stems from my nostalgia for that era of the X-Men. more -
