I thought they actually made it work very well.


Anyway, my dive into Dawn of X continues:

Marauders 6-8: I knew about Kitty's "death" at the hands of Sebastian, but I had no idea it happened this soon. Seems kind of anti-climatic to happen now, so you know she'll be back. I was surprised at Iceman freezing a bunch of baddies and then breaking their arms off. That was a tad brutal and unnecessary. Not too much to really talk about, but it is still my favorite of these X books.

Wolverine 1 & 2: I'm bored and lost as to exactly what is going on. I think I'm going to just quit as it's just doing nothing for me.

X-Force 6 & 7: Well now, things are starting to get interesting, especially thanks to the ski chase Domino just had with an evil reverse version of her (???).

Excalibur 6-8: Excalibur continues to bewilder me. Some issues are very enjoyable, others, not so much. I liked the first part of the Warwolves hunt issue, but then the second issue was kind of lackluster and made little sense. The hunter dude was just too erratic. I am curious to see where Apocalypse's end game is at.

New Mutants 6 & 7: This series is starting to lose me. The conclusion to the stuff going on in Nebraska was a bit messed up, but I don't like the time jumps that are happening with the Shi'ar plotline. Sure, they had Psyche yell at Sunspot for recapping an issue that didn't happen, breaking the fourth wall, but it felt so out of place. I'm just not sure what the end goal is here with this one and it's starting to grate on my nerves. Worst of all, this series is becoming a tad boring. If it doesn't get better in the next few issues, I might drop it.

X-Men 6 & 7: So the Mystique issue was kind of interesting given it took place over three different time lines. On the other hand, the issue with the Crucible was very lackluster. They never really explained how this Crucible ritual works. I mean, if a mutant has to lose to Apocalypse to be reborn with their powers, why even bother fighting? Can't they just kill themselves and be resurrected with their powers intact? Why go through all of that trouble in the first place? I did like the moment when Nightcrawler and Cyclops discussed if their constant resurrections mean their souls are transferred or not. Lastly, what happened to the mutants that chased after the white skinned mutant and went into the Master Mold? That plot seems to have just been dropped completely. Then again, so has the one with the Golden Girls collecting the flowers.
