Major X #4

The promise is here for an interesting universe, but the slugfests slow that progression down a bit too much in issue #4. Read Full Review

Just like Olestra chips it seems like food, but shortly after you consume it, its out of your system again. Read Full Review

Major X #4 isn't for me and as the series drags on it's clear I've moved on from this sort of storytelling. My 13 year old self would have loved this. My adult self just expects more. Read Full Review

Aside from Jonathan Hickman's Dawn of X line of books the only X-Men books I've been reading have been Mutant X. It's not the worst comic on the shelves but aside from the novelty of Rob Liefield running the ship, the series has been extremely mediocre. The story feels out of continuity and it isn't really clear if any of these characters will ever appear again which begs the question, what was the point? We're 4 issues deep and Rob's still introducing new characters. At this point, you'd expect the story to be winding down. The pace is fast, boom, boom, pow, cliffhanger and we'll see you in two weeks. If you're a fan of the more excessive aspects of 90's comics this series may be great for you. There's just not enough meat on this s tory to keep me interesting. Brent Peeples does a great job on pencils and it's easily the best part of the comic. It's simply not enough depth to this story. I'm happy to see that Rob Liefield is still getting work and contributing to the comic book industry but I'm not sure if Major X will make an impression on anyone not blinded by novelty or nostalgia.

God, the writing is so dated and this story is such a shame. Woof.

Major X winds up with the young X-Ential in his custody, and I think both he and his author miss the fact that that makes his mission a win. The art's dull, the writing is actively terrible. Another interminable serving of gunplay and badly-fumbled action movie one-liners nudges me closer to certain that there's not going to be an ironic twist to any of this.
