I picked up 8 comics today, luckily I'm a very wealthy man and was able to purchase them
with ease.After careful consideration I have chosen this issue as my pick of the week. This decision was difficult, I almost could't bring myself to do it, but then I did.
Let's start with the obvious, Joss Whedon is amazing, the dude is gifted.His dialogue is very cinematic. You feel like your watching a movie,a really awesome movie. But that's to be expected from some one who makes them.Cassaday's art is smooth and gorgeous as always.His characters emotion is conveyed through the eyes and it really shines in this comic. Some artists have a hard time achieving this. Cassaday is a master at it.
In this issue we witness an event that is frightening but intriguing to watch,much like a car wreck involving were-wolves.This event is the systematic and perfectly orchestrated take-down of the X-Men.No easy task, but The Hell-Fire Club are one of the X-Men's oldest and most dangerous enemies for a reason.One by one our favorite mutants(unless we count the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are separated and beaten.But it isn't all despair, thanks to Cassadra Nova's immense psychic abilities, Wolverine spends the comic convinced he is a frightened, prissy little schoolboy!It's hilarious!But just when it looks like all hope is lost, we are reminded that each member of the team is a super hero, and you cannot take any member lightly.
If you haven't picked this series up, you need to, each issue is a punch in the pancackes and it doesn't look like Whedon and Cassaday are letting up any time soon.
