What matters is whether they're done in an awesome way. And this issue succeeded in that respect.<br /><br />JackJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-70155774954503730092013-07-16T00:49:47.949-04:002013-07-16T00:49:47.949-04:00I'm generally intriguied by the action and the...I'm generally intriguied by the action and the artwork, but there ARE issues here. Besides the Jubilee thing, the writer also seems to be under the impression that Rogue still has her Ms. Marvel powers that she lost ten years ago. These might seem like nitpicks, but it would be like showing Wolverine with bone claws.<br /><br />Also had to roll my eyes at the forced drama of "Oh no, can we really kill Karima?" Take a dramatic arc that has already been done to death with the X-Men (A vs X does it like, 3 or 4 times alone), plus the hand-wringing over a AI's "true self" that's been milked out of countless Vision/Jocosta/Danger/Sentinel scenarios, PLUS the fact that Karima has already been declared "dead" before this story began (otherwise it makes that Hellion story REALLY pointless), and it all adds up to a big case of YAWN.<br /><br />Finally Sublime seems WAY too inexplicably genial here. Under Morrison's pen he was a manipulative smarmy bastard, even at his "nicest."<br /><br />Again there's some fun to be had here, but, y'know PROBLEMS.Jon Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783906806644566810noreply@blogger.com
