All it really did was get Gambit out of the picture. It just seemed like a ploy, but it didn't take away from the issue too much.<br /><br />I'm glad you still enjoyed the review. I really like what Marjoire Liu is doing. If this is what she's capable of by sneaking shit past the editor, then she can sneak away for all I care!<br /><br />JackJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-64481917703496590302011-08-04T11:45:50.369-04:002011-08-04T11:45:50.369-04:00Nice review.
I didn't really have a problem w...Nice review.<br /><br />I didn't really have a problem with the sudden <br />groin injury. Joking aside, the simple act of walking around causes some movement in that area, so it's pretty easy to aggrevate an existing injury there. Laura and Gambit have been doing a lot of travelling, so it's actually quite realistic to have him tear a stitch and need medical attention.<br /><br />It's also a nice reminder that not everyone has super healing factors. In a world where half the named super heroes can shrug off bullets and train collisions, having a character that is physically more vulnerable is important. It reminds us that what we see Laura doing should be considered extraordinary and badass - not just par for the course. (Of course the fact that Gambit can hang with Laura, jump off rooftops without a healing factor, and take a beating to save civilians adds to Gambit's cred too.)<br /><br />As far as plot devices go, the groin injury realistic and achieves multiple plot objectives. Which is pretty impressive. But it also provides a canon situation where Wolverine has handled Gambit's wedding tackle (remember who was stitching him up back in #12). Given Liu's fangirl origin, I can't help but think sneaking this past the editor was the real agenda.Herringnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-77852940031347975252011-08-04T11:22:56.689-04:002011-08-04T11:22:56.689-04:00Fair enough with you wanting X-23 to gut Reed. lol...Fair enough with you wanting X-23 to gut Reed. lol She's definitely the girl for the job! As for Gambit, I agree to some extent that he's often poorly used. But I wouldn't say he's underused. He shows up in both this title and is a major contributer in X-men Legacy and at times, the adjectiveless X-men.<br /><br />If you're going to give this series another chance, this is the issue to do it! X-23 is not Wolverine and even though she's a clone, she's really set herself apart in this series. So I highly recommend this issue.<br /><br />JackJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-41563672015447275942011-08-04T09:07:03.436-04:002011-08-04T09:07:03.436-04:00I want to see her shank Reed Richards' scrawny...I want to see her shank Reed Richards' scrawny rubber ass. I bought one issue of this because I love Gambit and I feel that he is underused and misrepreented when he IS used. It was the pirate issue, and I was so turned off by the fluffy artwork that I didn't bother with the next issue. To tell you the truth, I don't remember what happened in it. The art seems to have improved, so maybe I'll give her a second chance. As compelling as Wolverina is, I am so sick of claws in the Marvel U at this point that I vomit uncontrollably whenever I see adamantium in a comic.Lebeau2501https://www.blogger.com/profile/10176393631164056855noreply@blogger.com
