Thoughts

The Legion three-parter comes to a close, ending what has been the best story so far in the Sienkiewicz run, which probably means it is also the best New Mutants story so far too.

The art continues to be visually stunning – surreal flourishes and genuinely vast dark imagery continue. But its Claremont’s writing that also makes this story. It has a neat twist, which I will admit I didn’t see coming and everything builds to a grim concluision that feels satisfying as an ending, without seeming pat and easy.

Fun Panel

Team shots are always great in my book. And Xavier, two exes, some New Mutants and two of Legion’s personalities flying through his nightmare mindscape is the sort of image (and sentence) that only works in comics.

It was a Product of its Time

I wish it was to be honest. It feels depressing reading this story – so rooted in violence in Israel and Palestine and think that things are just the same nowadays.
