Dark X-Men: The Beginning
Dark X-Men: The Beginning: Another anthology comic book brought by Marvel; in this limited series we are given an exploration of the formation of the Dark X-Men or as they should be called “Norman’s X-Men”. In the first of three issues we are given a quick background to Mimic’s back story, Namor’s loyalty to Norman and how Dark Beast was recruited into the team (probably is the most graphic story in the series, because Dark Beast plays with a dead girl, a young girl and the corpse is well detailed).
The art varies according to the story, as well the writing because there were 3 creatives teams in issue one to give the first three stories, maybe in the next two issues will be another set of teams to the exploration of Norman’s X-Men, maybe the only one that will have the same team is the story of Namor because it was the only one that ended in a cliffhanger and maybe I can say this in an a priori way that Namor is going to be written off the team sooner than we thought about it. I highly recommend this mini series, and it will be one of the few titles of the Dark series because I don’t see too much future to them as Marvel as company don’t like to play too much with their more established titles.
