There’s a lot going on in NYX Vol. 2, and I do mean a lot. We have personal dilemmas (Kamala’s family, Laura’s friends/romances, Anole’s hopes, Sophie’s Cuckoo history, etc), new villains, and many twists.
Review: NYX Vol. 2: Mojo City
Review: NYX Vol. 1: What Comes Next Will Be Marvelous
NYX is one of six series that launched Marvel’s From the Ashes event, and it took a lot of risks. The story is set in the city, taking a tighter focus on what’s happening in mutant lives after the fall of Krakoa.
Review: X-Force Vol. 2: The Solution
While X-Force was not my favorite of the six original From the Ashes series, I don’t think it deserved to get canceled. I was enjoying learning about different characters, and X-Force Vol. 2 really reminded me of that fact. The creative team did a great job of rushing to give us the finale we deserved, and I’m sad we missed out on any of it. Especially if it had more Sage content.
Review: X-Force Vol. 1: Fractures
I’ll admit, I was a bit on the fence about X-Force when I first started reading it. Mostly, I was keeping up with it because I was desperately trying (and somewhat failing) to keep up with all the comics in From the Ashes.
Review: X-Factor Vol. 2: Know Your Enemy
Man, I thought the first volume was chaotic (and admittedly fun). X-Factor Vol. 2 leans even heavier into the commentary, satire, and yes, chaos. It’s a mixed bag, as there are some elements that I really enjoyed.
Review: X-Factor Vol. 1: Please Like and Share
The fall of Krakoa shook everyone, readers and characters alike. At least, that’s how it felt to this reader. So, naturally, I tried to make a point of checking out all the new From the Ashes series, including X-Factor.
Review: Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2: The Dark Artery
Where the last volume introduced new characters and brought a different team together, Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2 took everything a step further. We still have our favorites on the team (have I mentioned how much I love having a Rogue-led team?), but things are morphing and changing.
Review: Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1: Red Wave
Okay, there are a few key phrases you can waggle in my face that will get me to read an X-Men series. “Rogue-led” is one of them, and “Written by Gail Simone” is another. So, I knew I was going to check out Uncanny X-Men the moment it was announced.
Review: Exceptional X-Men Vol. 1
Six new series popped up at the beginning of From the Ashes (and many others followed), including Exceptional X-Men. This team offered a slightly different take on the mutant team thing, focusing on the newest generation, with unwilling teachers at the helm.
Review: X-Men Vol. 1: Homecoming
It’s a new era for the X-Men, and only time will tell if that’s for the best. That said, I’m happy to see that Scott is in charge of at least one of the X-Men teams. His team feels a little like coming back home for the X-Men. There are new twists, obviously, but there always will be.
