Uncanny X-Men #536The Breakworld saga continues. Today I will be reviewing Uncanny X-Men #536 . Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
So let’s talk about the book. First, since I missed it, I will review issue #535. Agent Brand of S.W.O.R.D. asks the X-Men for help when she discovers a Breakworld planet destroying ship entering our galaxy and headed for Earth. The X-Men come but what they find is a ship-full of refugees seeking asylum. Onto this issue. After Cyclops grants them asylum, the people of Breakworld settle in on Utopia. Powerlord Kruun, their leader, and the man who Colossus defeated to become the new Powerlord, saves Colossus’ life from a Breakworlder attacker. He then shows Magneto how to work the alien metal of his planet. Asking for more samples, he tricks Magneto into leaving him alone in the lab. He then creates a mutant “Cure” which he attacks Magneto with. Leaving the lab, Kruun goes looking for retribution. And that’s the book.
So let’s talk opinions. For now, I’m a little bit iffy on this story arc. Last issue was particularly boring and this issue, while being an improvement, is still not up to the stuff that Matt Fraction gave us. Fraction had multiple plots working well simultaneously while this book is having a tough time keeping me interested with just one plot. If Kruun was going to betray Colossus, why save him or preach to him or try to educate him? Honor, right? Highly overrated, in my opinion. Magneto gets jumped from behind and actually showed “trust” to an invading alien who tried to blow up the Earth? Completely out of character. Emma didn’t psychically try to read Kruun? Far fetched. Cyclops didn’t have watchers on Kruun at all times? Not likely. Kieron Gillen did a nice job with Magneto in 534.1 but is really slacking a bit with the rest of the team. At least there is some humor and action this issue and the story is not too dull. As for the art, it too is so-so. Nice clean images and a decent fight scene. I do have an issue with Dodson’s faces. For some reason, everyone forgot to shave and their facial hair looks like whiskers on a cat. Also, what’s with all of the lines on everyone’s face? They don’t really improve the image and make the faces ugly. The aliens look better than most of the humans. I hope something improves fast cause this arc is not hitting a happy place with me. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.
