X-Men: Blue #11

X-MEN BLUE #11 is a wildly thrilling issue that is filled with beautiful artwork and some engaging, intertwining narratives. Read Full Review

This was another really good issue of X-Men Blue. With creative stories and compelling characters, Bunn, Franchin, Hanna, and Guru put together an engaging X-Men story here. Give this one a read. Read Full Review

While good, this very much feels like the middle of a larger story and isn't recommended for readers suffering from alternate-reality character fatigue. Read Full Review

A slight speedbump in an otherwise good story arc so far, Toil and Trouble Part 2 only partially delivers. I hope the following chapter makes up for it. Read Full Review

Some of the most character I have seen out of the time displaced Angel in a while comes at us in this issue. There is some strong character development in Jean and Scott in terms of their relationship now. Bunn tries hard to build tension with the team being split throughout Madripoor. While I am not yet sold on the Hex Men yet, there is some interesting things building in the plot. The art does a good job at time with natural looks to the characters. There is some struggles at time, but nothing to concerning. The issue of course focuses on Hank's turn into a new form of Beast. There is also the return of the Goblin Queen who is part of a strange plan. I would say it is worth the look.

How do you feel about Bloodstorm? I thought her turn to good was too sudden if you ask me, and it's not like this team needs any more members.

Art was a bit inconsistent in this issue. Some nice looking panels, but some very poor ones as well that just looked rushed. The plot continues as it did in issue #10 with multiple storylines going on at once. The problem is that while some of these are quite interesting (Beasts & Bloodstorm), others are a chore to get through (Jimmy & Angel, Scott & Jean). I haven't given up on the series yet, but there's a sense that Cullen Bunn's writing so many series right now, that X-Men Blue has lost some focus, and currently has no true direction. It needs a great ongoing narrative from Bunn, and Marvel needs to find an every issue artist. No more of this rotating 5-6 different artist on a book that should be one of Marvel's staples.

Jean and Scott dodge the Goblin Queen and turn, sigh, to the Raksha for help. Meanwhile Warren and Jimmy are stuck in a *completely separate* (I hope) plot quagmire as they investigate Miss Sinister. This issue features good dialogue, some clever fight mechanics, and some solid but not too memorable art. The attention's spread way too thin, though, with all the parallel plotlines inching forward in a frustrating way that screams "we had one issue's worth of development but our editors say we gotta split it to meet the shipping schedule."

It's generic.
