Utopia X
Utopia X Chapter Five: No doubt Matt Fraction is truly an amazing writer but he should better explain the gaps between the story such as The Beast kidnapping and the so called reunion of Emma Frost, Scott Summers and Namor to bring down Norman Osbourne but maybe those interrogations are going to be answered in the next issue.
The story so far has been developing ok, there has been many twists and spins that probably it’s way much better than last year Secret Invasion because there’s tension and the surprise factor behind every page but like it was said it’s good that Matt Fraction explains several gaps of the storyline so he can end it with a gold medal as this arc has been one of his best works so far.
The art of Luke Ross is quite charming but is not the best asset of the Dark Avengers comic, I don’t mean he has to draw like Alex Ross but to try something more defined and less cartonish because there has been an evolution in the comics and we are far away from the pin up girls of the 1950’s.
Overall this issue is a 4 over 5 stars and let’s hope that next issue there are some improvements in the art as well in the story because the fans we are eager to read the conclusion of Utopia X.
