Legion of X #5

Legion of X has proven itself to be the idiosyncratic, imaginative, and idealistic culmination of the Krakoa era of X-Men comics; let's hope there's lots more to come. Read Full Review

This arc finished as it began: a mixed assortment of blessings and curses, held together with wonderful art and a tincture of color. Hopefully the second arc will hold onto what is good while improving on the areas that need it. Read Full Review

Things get real wild and real trippy in a satisfying conclusion to the first storyline, though perhaps too wild and too trippy. Read Full Review

This arc was brilliantly wrapped up. I still don't get why people find there to be too much going on in this book. Yes it's dense, but if you're not too impatient and actually take your time with it and really digest what's here, it is one hell of a story. I for one have been thoroughly enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing how Spurrier ties things into Judgement Day.

A huge improvement over previous issues, but it's worth noting that the first arc comes to such a satisfying conclusion by basically ignoring all of the main cast except Kurt & Zsen, which only strengthens my feeling that this book has six or seven more things going on than Spurrier & Bazaldua are capable of balancing in 23 pages a month

Love the artwork so much. One arc ends, an event is about to plow through, and another arc reveals itself. Hope the next arc can be a little more focused but this was really fun.

The plot wraps up in a shockingly neat bow, considering how digressive and speculative the arc has been. The art's looking a touch rough, but it remains a solid storytelling tool. And the philosophical content is down at low tide compared to previous issues. Which is probably a good thing and probably a major factor in making the resolution so tidy.

I enjoyed this more than the previous two issues, but I have to say that it still left a bit to be desired. This issue felt like it was supposed to be a grand conclusion, but it was just a good one. As I stated previously, I enjoyed this issue (which can be seen by my rating). However, this book seems to be difficult to manage for the team. As KittyNone stated in their review, the bulk of this issue only focuses on a couple of the main characters from the large amount seen on the recap page. Still, there are a lot of interesting things within this issue, such as Mother Righteous as a whole. Hopefully this series is able to continue the upward trajectory seen with this issue, as I know Spurrier is capable of writing awesome books.
