Str4yK1d's Profile

Thor debuts a new volume with an essence of back to origins. We have all his friends, Loki and the mythology of Asgard. However, he debuts a new villain who appears to be one of his biggest challenges. The art is perfect.

We are witnessing a new war in Krakoa that is much more internal than everyone imagines. Will this be the first Krakoan villain to return against the X?

With an edition focused on Sebastian Shaw, we know a little more about his objective as part of Hellfire. Using manipulation and lying tactics, he intends to use his son to defeat Emma and Kitty.

This edition avoids the misch aracterization of characters that this title had been suffering, but even so, it does not make its objective clear. Is it about saving mutants who don't have access to Krakoa or a power struggle between mutants?more

After an adventure of new mutants in space, we see a another-time adventure on Earth, which appears to be a filler arc.

Armor and Glob intend to search for mutants who have not yet arrived on Krakoa. Despite its importance to Dawn of X, this adventure seems to be weaker when compared to other titles.

X-Force presents a solid arc moving forward in leaps and bounds with each issue. This issue goes back to the rebirth mythology of the new era of mutants and raises a solid question "Should we fear death?"

Jean's history doesn't lie, she is the mutant who has witnessed "death" the most and having her this time resurrect the leader of the mutant revolution is significant. This makes X-for ce the most important team at the moment, as it deals directly with the forces that are attacking the Krakoa community.

We meet a new group of villains, the Xeno. The peacock tattoo on his leader's hand gives an interesting characteristic to the character that should be explored in more depth in future editions. Furthermore, we know that there is someone from the island of Krakoa helping them, who perhaps feels favored by this group?

The characters are well written, it doesn't seem like they are supporting characters in a character's arc, but rather that they are all leads. Furthermore, the philosophical survey gave a special touch to this edition.more

The Braddock brothers' battle finally arrives, but it doesn't progress that far, as the fight was interrupted by the dragon Shogo. This seems to have been the highlight of the edition. Only now did I realize that the uniforms changed, so Shogo's change was something interesting that worked as comic relief. Will he remain a dragon throughout his time in Avalon?
Apocalypse continues to move his pieces to master magic, and this time recruiting a new mutant to the team, Rictor. The Apocalypse arc is the most interesting in the title, even more than the dispute between the brothers, so I'm curious to know the mutant's next steps.more

And this title can only make it worse. In addition to a totally uninteresting story, the art reaches unacceptable levels. It even seems like the people working on this title want it to be canceled.

First, for the title to make sense, a known villain had to be used who really sent the danger signal. You can't sell Apoth as a god and Kwannon as the mother of someone who is the only one ca pable of stopping, both characters are uninteresting and this doesn't convey the necessary sense of danger.

Cable and X-23 are completely involved in this title, it even seems like they were forced to participate in this adventure due to some penalty. It's sad for both characters with no narrative and no effort from the team to write something for them.

I don't know where this arc is going and it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere. They want to stop Apoth and save the children, which is wonderful, but the path to get there is slow and drawn out.

The art remains dark and this time it gets worse, with minimal care not being taken. Some drawings are incomplete and meaningless, like a log on Kwannon's ass.

There is reuse of painting, the faces are ugly (in one painting Kwannon looks like a horror doll), the shading does not favor the characters and it seems that there is a laziness in drawing some things, such as uniforms and faces, as in many paintings, they are just completely black faces.more

X-men #3 achieves the perfect measure of humor and adventure while inserting a new group of "villains" into its mythology.

This edition follows what was proposed in the last edition, it is more of an introduction to a specific point than the continuation of an arc. While last time we had the appearance of the summoner, this time we had hordiculture. If it goes this way, the next edition will probably not continue with this arc but will introduce something new.

We had some fun interactions in this issue, especially within the Summers/Grey/Frost core. We still don't know where Scott is in relation to the two women, but it looks like he's more friendly than competitive.

It was a little difficult to believe that Hordiculture couldn't be defeated, after all they were just old ladies. Shaw had his power nullified, but Scott did not. Maybe the mutants went easy on them due to their intention of not hurting humans, but they would have to keep in mind that they attacked and in addition it was the second attack they suffered (the first being in x-force #1), so It is necessary for them to start working hard before they are considered "weak".

X-men #2 continues following the Summers family, but this time in an adventure between father and sons.

This story doesn't follow directly the previous number, but he continuos inside the Dawn of X era mainly with the new mutants title due to cypher's travel to space. This story is a little more comic than the regular, Cyclops is not the direct serious guy, but a fun dad who wants to t ravel with his kids, Cable was in a "dumb teenager" role and Rachel was the serious one.

This title show a new character and a new adventure, we don't know yet what that island and that summoner wants, but is looking like Apocalypse will have a big impact in this arc.more

New Mutants continues as the comic relief of the new era of the X-Men. Each title has a different adventure and this one stands out for having space adventures, which can also be considered a home for mutants.
The mutants have a perfect friendship that makes the pace of the edition very fun and joyful. However, his behavior being portrayed as a bit of a "teenager" ends up discouraging me a li ttle.more

X-Force appears to be the comic book, in addition to X-Men, that will focus on X-Men's relations with Krakoa. And if that is the objective, it has everything to do very well.

This volume takes the events of the first edition and enhances it, making great advances in the history and mythology of the new phase of mutants. Killing Xavier in the first issue was quite courageous and leaving his resurrection in Jean's hands demonstrates that she really is the second strongest telepath on the island.

The datapages in this volume work very well, are informative and complement the story. In the first datapage we had additional information from the first edition and in the second we discovered Xavier and Domino's relationship, which was actually at the behest of Professor X.

In this edition we return with Quentin Quire's famous interaction with Wolverine, it always works, although some people are already fed up with it. Quire can be considered quite annoying with all his arrogance, so situations in which his power is neutralized make his appearances quite interesting as he needs to survive while being quite vulnerable.

The art is beautiful and detailed in a way that matches what this title intends to present and sets it apart from others. The plot is also becoming something quite specific, but it matches closely with the political advances that Dawn of X is taking.more

This edition advanced the plot of the first edition and it was quite clear that they will follow a path of magic, away from the political plot of Krakoa.

Although we don't have big steps, we can see a little more of the team's interaction. Gambit remains the weak piece of time, he appears quite out of place with only the role of companion to Rogue who really seems to have become a part of Krakoa.
Apocalypse remains the most interesting part, despite the volume looking like a solo Betsy magazine. I think Shogo's transformation into a dragon was the big event of the volume, but it's not like it's something we care about.more

Fallen Angels continues to distance itself from Dawn of X. Not only in terms of story, but also in terms of quality.

The edition lacks in different points, art, writing and character development. The art is dark, with frames displaced on parts of the characters' faces, the stories are uninteresting, both from Kwannon's past and present, and the characters, especially X-23 and Cable (who are so strong) are poorly written. X-23 is called Wolverine.

Regarding the villain, no one cares about Apoth and his disproportionate strength makes no sense. I don't know where the story is going, but with such interesting things happening in Dawn of X. I don't see the need to follow this title.more

What are the other demons besides the bottle?

Iron Man returns in the new volume, giving a very personal touch to the character. He puts on the armor against a villain, but the biggest fight in this edition is internal. Tony has already lost everything, but it seems that there is someone who wants him to lose even more, those around him.

New times for the Avengers and a new time for Carol.

The new volume of the avengers lives with a new team, which despite being well-known faces, are characters from different areas. We have a millionaire, ex-king, god, witch, android, soldier and the most powerful woman in the world to command them.

This edition presents itself as an introduction, you see this team being recr uited and already see it in action, where we can see that Carol was successful in recruiting this team as it fills all the gaps that a superhero team needs.
The villain has no purpose or depth in this edition, especially because he only serves as an introduction to the team. However, the consequences of their battle lead to what could be the initial plot of this volume, as we have one of the biggest villains of this team and a character that is on the rise throughout the cinematic universe.
The art was suited to expressing the heroes' struggle and danger. In addition to providing the appropriate characteristics in both the illustration and text. This text is very well written to help us get to know and delve deeper into the purposes of the heroes within this team.more

Marauders #02 follows a very different path for mutants that ends up mischaracterizing some characters. Who would have thought that in a mutant book where we have Shadowcat, the most interesting thing to watch would be the interaction between Shaw and Emma.

The adventure in this edition deviates from the story we thought we would follow in the first edition. What we thought would be a t eam that would solve/save mutants who can't access Krakoa, turned into a team that does dubious services for the Hellfire Club.

Unfortunately, this is causing Kate to lose her essence. The pirate aesthetic seemed to be a new path for her, but how far are they going to distort her appearance to make her more "badass"?

The fight scenes are still cool and the adventure is promising. The issue continues to match Dawn of X by making references to other mutant volumes, we just need those responsible to get the tone of the comic right.more
