Realm of X 3: Everyone is cross-eyed

oof, the art is so rough

[Grunty]

I’m honestly surprised they went with Marrow over say… Wolfsbane. The latter also fills the “feral mutant” category, would have likely been near her teammates Magik and Dani at the Gala, and has an open plot about her lost son who is probably in one of these Asgard adjacent realms.

Good points.

Even though the series so far, does not give the impression that Wolfsbane would have done much of note either or have that mentioned plot adressed, her overall presence would have made a lot more sense.

Experience with the realm, the mentioned plot, personal connection to Mirage and Magik, plus even a thin one to Curse because of having been one of the adults responcible for the "krakoa kids club" during New Mutants, which Curse technicaly must have belonged to (before the writer of X-men Green decided to make use of the wird pink spiky mutant kid that briefly showed up in the Kid Cable series).

If most of the characters remain trapped in Asgard by the end of the series, it would have even left her with a dangling plot that could keep her occupied there (off or on pannel).

Instead she is essentialy nowhere to be seen during these trying times for mutants.

Meanwhile Marrow is just there and it certainly doesn't help that because of a lack of a good continuity with the character over the past decades, there is not much personal direction she could be bound to be heading back to once this story is over (remember how she was part of both Magneto's newest brotherhood of mutants and of Emma Frost's newest Hellfire Club...).

It's also not like she is a known sales magnet (some would argue she is even the opposite) and while she is suprisingly well known, it wouldn't turn many heads towards the series.

Even the role of the troublemaker was given to Typhoid Mary instead, resulting in what some have called "oddly well behaved Marrow". Though come to think of it Mary is also just there and that seems to be mainly so Fisk can be worried about her on Earth.

This story could have been just Magik, Mirage and Wolfsbane and nothing would have "suffered" in the narrative from it, while it could at least have been sold as "New Mutant" story to a degree.

Did you not read the Morlocks story in Unlimited XMen digital comic ? Marrow was already established there as now finally maturing into a functional adult i.e. Leader-material LOL

[darkalamator]

The art is atrocious... is there no quality control??

[Cyclone_Ablaze]

I haven't even read it.

I'm not interested in this book. I dropped it after issue #1.

So, I will live my life through you guys and your opinions on this Book. :-)

[wlfking]

Yeah. Not even sure what to say. Not happy about this.

Over half way through this run and most characters still feel like they could have been swapped out with anyone for how little they do. As for Wolfsbane, I was hopping there be at least a mention in passing about one of her plot threads; that being her lover and son are from one of the Asgaurdian realms. There are even a bunch of unnamed mutants with our lead characters. Not sure how I'd feel if she was revealed to be among them and just isn't doing a damn thing.

I was just happy Dani was getting to be in something after New Mutants ended. And I really like Dust and Illyana too. But Illyana has little trouble getting into books so I was happy for the others. This has been quite the let down.

HAD to stop in and make sure the talk about this book is the Bad Art...bc....wow...

This was bad, like really bad.

This was bad, like really bad.

I’m an artist, I was a pro for over a decade, I very, very seldom class art as bad. Some artists are not to my taste, some are better than others. But the art in this issue is very poor indeed. I need to go track down some more by this artist, see it this was a rush job, therefore beyond their control. Otherwise, I wonder how they are getting professional work.

The upside of Rahne not being included here is that I like Rahne, and I do not like this book, and so feel like she dodged a bullet.

A bullet that sadly seems to have taken Dani (and 'Yana, and Sooraya, and some trash I don't care about) right in the cheek-eye.

The New Mutants have been continuously stuck with the least interesting stories of the Krakoan era.

Anyway, the art has a quirky cuteness to it, more fitting for an indie webcomic.

[Arachne]

oof, the art is so rough

Literally. If I had to guess, I'd say these pages are actually thumbnails that got blown up and coloured. Something must have happened to Diógenes Neves for Bruno Oliveira to be replacing him on short notice.

The only problem I have with the actual writing is that it's far too rushed. This really should have been 5 issues, then maybe more time could be spent on each character.

I wasn’t singling out the art specifically, although I do think it was very sub par, but even the writing was bad. I really wish I had skipped this series. It’s too bad because I was enjoying New Mutants prior to this.

I can see that, I wonder if next issue will be any better
