Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex PREVIEW

[Dante Milton]

Fantomex doesn't deserve Reis art.

[Devaishwarya]

I'm here for the art.

Fantomex doesn't deserve Reis art.

But we do. Reis makes this worth a read. It would probably be more of a chore if they got some C tier artist to pencil it

has Ultimaton color scheme

Assault on Weapon Plus was one of my favorite arcs from New X-men. I loved Fantomex working with Scott and Logan. It was a fun story full of weird sci-fi ideas. I think Hickman will do very well with The World and with Fantomex. I expect a lot of overindulgent weirdness in this story.

The art is amazing. Fantomex is a very underrated mutant. Happy to see him getting some spotlight.

[Captain Nash]

Oh good, the art is totally not my thing. Neither is the character. Looks like i can skip this one without remorse.

Same here. People tend to hate on him.

Don't think anyone has actually (successfully) explained why they're not a fan.

Totally agree. Of all the writers to do Fantomex and The World, I think Hickman has the chops to do it right.

Like so much of Morrison's run, Fantomex and his backstory have been twisted a bit -- not as bad as Cassie/Ernst, but enough that I find myself hoping that Hickman can course-correct the character a little bit.

-Pav, who also liked that oneshot with Fantomex, Wolverine, and Noh-Varr...

I hope it's better than the magneto one. That was pretty disappointing

[Kingdom X]

It was definitely better than the Magneto issue and I honestly might rank it above the Nightcrawler issue.

[CGAR]

This issue was definitely better than the Magneto issue.

Some interesting things brought up in this issue.

[Glio]

I'd say for now Jean and Emma> Fantomex> Nightcrawler> Magneto.

[butterflykyss]

this was kinda a snooze fest for me. I hope the storm one is better.

[Thundershot]

The continuity of this is confusing... I need to look again, but no way the Thunderbolts were around a decade before Morrison’s X-Men.

[CGAR]

Honestly I didnt even notice or mind it. I dont think X-fans care about the Thunderbolts. Just saying.
