ATLANTIS UNDER SEIGE! X YEARS LATER, a grief-stricken GAMBIT has a mission to recover and recall several unwilling X-MEN who have left the mutant life, to face a creature of nightmares that can doom them all! It's the return of several beloved mutants (and a few less beloved), coming back to try to contain the unimaginable army of the undead that threatens both Atlantis and the surface world!
Unbreakable X-Men #2 upped the ante in a big way. This issue was a roller coaster ride of emotions and action that you don't want to get off of. Read Full Review
Gambit's love of Rogue helped him build a loving, supportive community for Mutants in Haven House. After his despair made the home a tomb, the Outliers went their separate ways. While survivor's guilt made Gambit want to die, Shuvahraks loss drove her to make others feel her pain. Dwelling on her loss fed her anger until that was all she knew. Feeling betrayed by the Mutant community for not protecting her child, Shuvahrak arises in a land created by Revelations betrayal of the Mutant communitys ideals in Unbreakable X-Men #2.

The main strength of this issue is how it portrays a broken man who has lost the person who he loves with all his heart, but yet continues to live for the people who depend on him the most. Gail Simone effectively explores the theme of grief with one of the X-Men's most beloved couples in a way that deeply humanizes Gambit, making him an empathetic character that readers can sympathize with and relate to.

Unbreakable X-Men #2 is a classic set-up issue that gathers more characters and provides context to the big bad of the storyline, the Voice of DarknessShuvahrak. With an enormous art team that brings even bigger talent to the page and a writer who, so far, doesnt waste the readers time, Unbreakable X-Men continues to be a story worth collecting. The two issues so far have very little breathing room between action scenes and lengthy exposition, which some readers may find overwhelming at first. My recommendation: if you picked up last months Unbreakable X-Men #1 and were interested in seeing where the story goes, then I recommend adding issue #2 to your collection. Alternatively, for my Gambit fans, Unbreakable X-Men continues to be one of his better characterizations in recent memory. Read Full Review
The story is easier to follow this time, but I can't help but wonder if anyone is even interested in the whole Miss Henrietta storyline. The art is quite dull (not Werneck, but C.F. Villa), with a lot of empty space, although the design for Asnawushka... Acopetzlka... Anatevka (whatever that giant snake woman is called) is pretty great.
