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+ Like • Comment
