Summary:
Following the fall of Krakoa, many teams have stepped in to pick up the pieces, including the X-Men. Cyclops is at the helm, with Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik, and Juggernaut acting as backup.
Scott knows better than most how humanity will react to what the mutants have just gone through (and lost). His team is hoping to find new mutants before they become targets, all while dealing with new threats on the horizon.
Review:
The world of mutants is still rocky at best, following the fall of Krakoa. That brings us to X-Men Vol. 2, which still portrays one of several teams trying to make things work, possibly against all odds?
So, a lot happens in X-Men Vol. 2, and I’d be lying if I said I loved every minute of it. There are some interesting twists, such as the new mutant caught in the crosshairs between the X-Men and Cassandra. That’s a pretty interesting twist, even with all the strange steps it has always taken.
Conversely, I’m already over the fight between the X-Men and Alpha Flight. Sorry, I like the team as a whole (mostly), but I don’t love their forced need to battle it out against other mutants for the sake of a title. Like, they really don’t have enough going on right now?
Overall, X-Men Vol. 2 has some compelling twists and even more intriguing setups. I don’t know where all the threads are going to lead (such as the Magneto or Beast potential twists), but I’m looking forward to finding out.
