I've never reviewed a comic on here before. One guy on the Fourth Rail gave this new issue of New X-Men 5 out of 10. The other gave it 8 out of 10. For me the ONLY reasons I'd take marks off is because I fucking abhor Phil Jiminez' art. Its detailed sure. Good for him. Too bad everyone looks the same, his style has virtually no flair and looks so 70s, bland and pedestrian compared to almost every other comic on the shelf, that God help me I think I prefer Igor Kordey's work on the book. He makes the prefessor look like he's the same age as everyone else, no one is older or younger in this book. He can only draw people in their 30s. Anyway, basically everything, and I mean almost everything that Grant Morrison has done on New X-Men since the beginning of his run has been set up to come to this. A plan so vast and well-planned its almost mind boggling. In the end it actually seems so simple, such an easy conclusion, but the fact that not a single person had the vision to see what direction it was headed makes it seem brilliant. Grant Morrison has a mind unlike anyone I've read from before, because he seems to just see the BIG picture. Everything from Invisibles to the Filth is just so huge, but he breaks it down into small events. Good stories that are all slowly setting up support beams and concrete for what will eventually be a large complex. Just trust me. Read it. Get a scanned copy on-line, photocopy a friends' copy, speed read it in the store, or buy it, its worth it.
