Co-Review: Wolverine & the X-Men #1, Uncanny X-Men #1
“Geoffrey: I liked that about the conflict of ideologies that Schism presented. A sort of civil-war-style thing that didn’t have that sweaty Mark Millar all over it.
Tessa: Yes, and I think it gets to the heart of something that has always been a part of the X-Men, which is the division of people with a common goal and different ideas of how that is to be achieved. You saw it with Xavier and Magneto, and now it’s playing out, albeit very differently, with Wolverine and Cyclops.
It’s both progressive and a return to form.
Geoffrey: It’s not entirely the same conflict as Xavier/Magneto, which is nice.
Tessa: Yes, exactly. Because that conflict is fairly outmoded at this point. Geoffrey: We get Wolverine as the new Xavier, albeit more isolationist, and we get Cyclops as the new Magneto, but acting more on the defensive.
So the question remains (well, two questions, actually): 1. WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?? and 2. Whose face will it blow up in first?”
(More)
For those who didn’t catch it yesterday, Geoff and I had a chat about the new X-books.
