X-Men: Gold #29

While X-Men Gold has been inconsistent as of late, issue #29 gets back to what made the series' early issues so much fun: high action-adventure and enjoyable dynamics between the characters. Read Full Review

X-Men: Gold #29 is a solidly good installment for Marvel's premiere mutant team. The action is good, the scenes flow well, and the pacing is handled well despite some obvious padding. That padding along with some iffy lines of dialogue keep it from being a perfect book, but it is a good one. Read Full Review

Now the dust has settled we can all breathe and relax, ready for the real drama ahead. The day thats been nearly thirty-eight years in the making, let the Wedding March begin. Read Full Review

X-MEN GOLD #29 finally sees the climatic end of the "new" Legacy Virus, but it does so at a heightened and unnatural speed. Geraldo Borges and Arif Prianto add to this failure with art that lacks a sense of grounded reality. Instead, this entire issue -- and the arc so far -- feel like a dream. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing for a wedding themed arc is up to individual interpretation. Read Full Review

Mostly, sure. There are still plenty of logical lapses and set pieces that make no sense, the plot is resolved by multiple crazy coincidences and a few deus ex machinas, and the art depicts barrel chested men with lil baby arms, but this is an enjoyable end to what has probably been Gold's best arc in its 30-issue run.

Why do I feel like this is slowed down, or like this is a comic book for sappy hahhaa, I misses the badass of the X-men. Let’s get a good story ark, I felt this gold could of been good but for me it’s just failing. :(

"They swiped Deep Space 9 for their Roxxon space station!" is exactly the sort of nitpick I could set aside if this issue's script were even SLIGHTLY skillful in contriving its last-second all-hands save-the-world climax. Nice art - aside from the swipe - and a sprinkle or two of good characterization don't do enough to elevate a by-the-numbers plot whose only hope of creating tension is asking the reader to do it a favor and play along.
