Storm and War Machine get attacked by a sentinel who starts crushing War Machine. The Puternicstan president watches pleased as her plan works perfectly.
The Good
Cover- Cool image of Psylocke, Warpath and Jubilee
Art- Strong work from Will Conrad coupled with the inks and colors make this a very attractive comic.
Ethics- This story has allot of underlying depth. Ethics questions what you out to do and here the president of Puternicstan is trying to protect her people after her nation has continually been ravaged and plundered. In the interest of her people what she’s doing is right. Conversely the x-men have a right to destroy these machines and investigate anyone who would purchase them since their lives have are in constant danger and the looming threat of extinction is now more real than ever. Both have good points and reasons for their decisions based on background and perspective. Both are within the realms of what aught to be done which is the conundrum
Action- No explosion but there was enough action to keep the average comic fan happy.
The Bad
When since does Domino’s heart slow enough to be confused for dead? Then she hops of the table like Wolverine? When since does she have a healing factor? I get that this was supposed to add tension but it really just prevented me from being pulled into the tale
Background- Jubilee and Warpath are just here to add numbers they serve no purpose in driving the story forward nor are they given any worthwhile line.
The Ugly
3/5
