X-MEN #2 Arakko Review *spoilers*

[powerpax]

He said the three of them

That scarcely makes a difference to the issue.

[Havok83]

Basically “the dialog is stiff/robotic” stands for “I have to criticize this run but I don’t know why so I’ll get on this bandwagon”.

Or people genuinly arent feeling it. No need to jump on a bandwagon if you are enjoying it

[AJpyro]

I enjoyed it. Cyclops Dad jokes make me chuckle. Also why is it always tentacles?

[CGAR]

Basically “the dialog is stiff/robotic” stands for “I have to criticize this run but I don’t know why so I’ll get on this bandwagon”.

Disagree with this but that is your opinion you have. I was a fan of Hickmans's HoX PoX. Calling out some of the dialogue isnt lazy criticism. If some people are vibing with it or they are disliking it because it takes them out of the story. It's not someone else right to invalidate their critique by saying they are jumping on a bandwagon.

Either. 10c

As if I was a editor haha maybe Donny Cates or even roseberg if he has a better pitch

[Tycon]

Genesis is an uncle now (warren worthington the third don’t interact).

[Frobisher]

Not keen on this one. Story is slight, and then little things started to irritate me, like:

-Cable gives Weird New Guy a grenade. lulwut?
-Weird New Guy walks off, then there’s a time jump to night. Did the Summers family just go home?
-New island is same size as Krakoa in panels, but way smaller on the map page.

I love Scott's awful dad humor and talk! And the sibling bantering is exactly what I was looking forward to.

Very interesting issue, even more setup! Krakoa has grown and Apocalypse is father-ish. Aww.

[Dante Milton]

I liked the issue, it was funnier than I expected it to be. I like the War Child/High Summoner, but can somebody please get the kid some pants. Yu's art continues to be the weakest part of the book, definitely ready for Silva.

So the island we see is just a part of Arakko, the rest is either in Otherworld or beyond it, with Otherworld acting as a kind of gateway dimension? I've seen people speculate that Arakko is in Limbo, but I don't think that's the case.

The mutants of Arakko, are they all supposed to be descended from the First Horsemen, or was there interbreeding with a native humanoid species?

[phoenixzero23]

This was really nice.
I love that Marvel finally let Scott act like a dad. His character is always buried in controversy, this can show him in another light. More human

Also that Apocalypse is too wholesome, something is wrong when you want to be hugged by him.

Kid Cable and Rachel were good. I enjoyed the change on their dynamic now that Ray is the older sister.

[phoenixzero23]

He is so big, and those arms...

[powerpax]

Daddy Time comes for all. It is inevitable.

[Knives]

Improved slightly over the first issue.

Cyclops seems not to be ashamed to admit that his biggest mistakes involve his love affairs.

Rachel and Cable unfortunately didn't have a very strong presence and honestly a grenade what kind of idiot does that.

The final scene with Apocalypse was the best part.

Rank 7 of 10.

[Vegan Daddy]

This book should be about •┤Ȧ├• and his freaky children.
