What About These Comics Books? X-Men Utopia
Dark X-Men Crossover Dark Avengers - Utopia: Amazing intro to what is going to become the new group of X-Men, Matt Fraction did an amazing work with the narrative as well Marc Silvestri did an awesome job with the art. Chapter One goes with the fall of the X-Men as they can’t handle a group of human rights protesters and slowly they go into a downfall that Norman Osborn aka the Iron Patriot takes advance to form a new personal hit squadron with the X-Men mantle. According to Wikipedia the new team will be composed of Daken, Emma Frost, Professor X, Cloak and Dagger, Mimic and Namor but there is a mystery surrounding the team, *spoiler* in this issue it was shown Professor X endorsing Norman’s actions about conforming a new X-Men team under his tutelage but at the end of the issue, Beast is shown in some kind of jail and Professor X is there almost in a catatonic state saying to Henry that they are taken their powers. I guess we have to wait what is going to happen in the six part crossover of Dark X-Men, but one thing that I can bet is that the X-Men after a brief stint in San Francisco they are going to leave the city for a new one.
Uncanny X-Men #512 Vol. 1: In my opinion this issue was only a filler of what is going to happen next month but still was cool to see the work of Yanick Paquette and Karl Story in the art; this as Utopia was written by Matt Fraction but even if it was writen by Fraction it was a little bit boring because it didn’t give anything to the story, maybe the only new thing it gave was the exploration of Dr Nemesis background as he fulfilled a grandfather paradox by helping his mother to deliver himself when he was born. There was a side story that explains that the first Sentinel wasn’t invented by Bolivar Trask but rather by the Hellfire Club in the 1900’s by using a power cell made by Dr. Nemesis father.
Messiah War - Epilogue: One word, terrible ending and in someway it was predictable that it was going to happen; I was hoping that Hope was going to return to the present and not everything was going to reboot, completly disappointing.
