I said this already- read it 1ce, hated it, read 1-3 + came away really impressed- now 4 is out + I'm undecided. I'm halfway convinced its GM or someone as clever- tho the dialogue is admittedly not as punchy as it could be.
still, consider these styles:
1) mysterious leader + mysterious writer are both 'x'- issue # 2 is nicely titled 'who is X?'
2) nice grasp of how shitty adolescence is- which is what being a marvel mutant was always referring to anyway. whether a young mutant or a tortured teenage virgin-- a realistic + tough friend, a night club for your kind, a spliff, + a dope girl are high on the 'most wanted list'.
3) nice new touch for marvel, that- casual + rather amoral drug use.
4) everybody loves anarchist terrorists. rabid, at that.
5) colombine- + they're misguided +, ultimately, prejudiced, just like in real life. I think that's sort of the point of the first 3 issues- that he could have gone colombine (the shoot-em-up video game in issue 2) but instead his life gets more complex.
I heard mackie but I don't buy it- I looked thru some issues of mutant X + they're shite- at a wild guess I'd say Pete Milligan- based on the blood power, same as 'the anarchist' in X-force. |
