X-Men: Grand Design #2 Reviews
-
I can not think Ed Piskor enough for bringing this into reality. This may be one of the greatest things in comics history to me.
-
So apperently there's going to be two more sets of two Grand Design comics (that's a really obtuse way of saying it but whatever), and I can't wait for them. The production value is so great, and I like the retelling of the X-Men universe. I wouldn't want this to take over, of course, but it's cool to just have an alternate version that's been laid out in an easy way to follow. I think the Phoenix Saga may be in the next set too, so hopefully they come out soon (originally it was December of this year but apperently Marvel may move it up? Idk, I'll wait if moving it will affect quality tbh).

Fun
Piskor continues to write a coherent narrative from the silver age X-men that reconciles it with the Claremont period. There are more than a few retroactive continuity changes to make this work but it is highly enjoyable and distills decades of comics in a little over 80 pages. -
Just more retroactive continuity to give the impression that everything was part of a larger story. Basically nothing more than after-the-fact quarterbacking. It also suffers from the poor writing cliche of telling and not showing. Panel after panel of data, that has been subtly altered to emphasize only what the author wants the reader to focus on. Putting it another way: mansplaining.
-
I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first one. It felt really convoluted and confusing. Maybe that was because it took me too many reading sessions to get finished with it so I lost momentum. I'll definitely get the next one regardless.
-
Mist de gelijkaardige hoogtepunten als uit het eerste nummer, blijft een speciale rit doorheen de geschiedenis van de X-Men.
