I am a hardcore Marvel fan, I’ll admit that they do too many events in a single year which tend to overwhelm some fans. IvX is in my opinion a really good event comic, infact I’ll admit it’s my favorite comic of all time. I love the X-men, and it’s obvious the series was made because Marvel didn’t own the film rights to the X-men characters, and were trying to make the relitivly obscure Inhumans the “New Mutants” which I felt was a terrible thing to do to long time fans. This book was meant to be the end of the mutant race, but luckily I am very please to say they didn’t go that route. What the story is about is the X-men’s race “Mutants” have had a long and
Hostile conflict with the Inhumans in other stories leading up to this. In the other stories the entire supply of the Inhumans powers “Terrigan mist” was released on the earth, and is deadly too mutants. In the uncanny inhuman book the X-men Hank McCoy aka Beast was working with the Inhumans to reverses the effects, but failed. In their series “Death of X” Scott Summers aka Cyclops went crazy from previous stories, and tried to kill the inhuman leader “Black Bolt” however he instead killed cyclops. This sends the mutants on quest for revenge just as the terrigan is covering the entire planet, which leads to the events of this story. What I love about this book is all the Subble moments as well as great character dynamics especially between the X-men’s leader storm as she is chooses to fight to save their species and The inhuman Queen Medusa who debates the future of her kind sinceits the mist that unlocks their powers. Their great action, awesome art work by Lieniel Francis Yu is pretty solid, providing great expressions for the characters and great fight scenes. Charles Soule and
Jeff Lemire both did a great job writing this, why not perfect as their is still some corniness it’s not destracting, this book is by no means perfect as in “Award winning” standard since it doesn’t have the other iconic
Marvel characters and if you aren’t familiar with the Inhumans you might be confused. But I loved it, and it’s a overall great popcorn flick of a adventure, one that will please X-men fans. Nuff said
