Krakin’ Krakoa #24: X-Force #3 Review – The Lives & Deaths of Professor X

by Leave a Comment

Through three issues X-Force continues to improve and build on the promise of House of X. It’s one of my favorite Dawn of X titles, and issue three by Benjamin Percy and Joshua Cassarra did not disappoint!

Today on Krakin’ Krakoa #24 I’ll answer:

  • How X-Force is the X-Men Dawn of X title most consistently fulfilling the promise of House of X
  • What we’ve learned about the Death of Professor X
  • The mystery of the 5th assassin!

Krakin’ Krakoa #23: Fallen Angels #2 Review – The Regression of Laura Kinney By The Coward Fallen Angels

by Leave a Comment

November 27 2019 – the day before Thanksgiving – was the first new comic book day in approximately 4 months with at least three new X-Men comics released on the same day.

Appropriately, my varying reactions to the releases are a healthy reminder that more is not always better, and that one of House of X and Dawn of X’s greatest strengths has been a healthy sense of curation (Marvel as a whole is otherwise comically overproducing books these days). Big picture, New Mutants is a book I expected to enjoy, and lo and behold, nothing has changed, whereas X-Force had a make-or-break second issue actually sell me on many of the comic’s bolder first issue choices.

And then there’s Fallen Angels #2, which I’m increasingly convinced is the only absolute dud of the Dawn of X.
