JaffyJayne here, so we’ve finally finished the new epic x-event, Disassembled.
Will this go in the X-Cutioner’s Song, Messiah compleX, Dark Phoenix Saga column or be more in line with The Twelve, Battle of the Atom and IvX?
I have quite mixed feelings about the story.
I really REALLY wanted to love it, I read digitally and this was the first time in a long while that I went to the comic store and bought an issue (issue 1). The hype was through the roof but the reality after all 10 issues is one of disappointment.
I did love the art, especially R.B. Silva.
I also loved the weekly release, I could not have handled this once a month.
I loved that they did try to give everyone a little spotlight and redefine where everyone was (Polaris, Northstar, Jubilee etc).
I love that they have a “bigger plan” for this and the x-universe, feels like someone is making sure the dots are connected across the franchise.
I did not like the fighting scenes. The action was pretty awful, it just felt like X-Men were jumping around with no coordination. I get that there’s a lot of characters but none of them really had any feats except for X-23 ruining the MLF and Psylocke’s new arsonry.
A lot of missed opportunities. Twice we saw Polaris going to take on Magneto. Twice it just faded after two panels into the background.
What were your pros and cons?
I didn’t want to fully hate on this event so positive comments welcome!
