Review Marathon
The Dark X-Men have not been disbanded even with the betrayal of the Sub Mariner but now they must make a better name for themselves through public relations. I wasn’t supposed to read this comic book. The store I go to added to my list just in case. I’m still not sold on this weird team, but it is compelling. The last time I saw Mystique before she showed up in the Dark X-Men crossover, she had been shot almost to death by Wolverine. I wonder how she was captured by Osborn. Yet the exploration of all the characters was fun. The story is simple but the artwork was lively and the threat at the end made me curious to see more. I may return to this series next issue.
Rating: 7/10
