review 1: Kids will swallow almost anything. My sister once ate a few of my Grandfather’s 1800’s commemorative coins. I don’t recall what they commemorated. That one worked out in the end. Eventually. My son once ingested Iron Man’s head armor and, even though he passed it, needless to say, Tony Stark was flying around without a head piece. Watch out for those shots to the head, Iron Man. In this story, Magik ends up swallowing Limbo. The whole thing. I have no idea what Dr. Strange is going to prescribe to help Magik grease her bowels to force it out. Prunes? A reality softener?Brian Michael Bendis continues his excellent run on this book. You have a nice blend of action, humor, character development and surprises. The only caveat I have is with the art. The t... moreeam had five blondes (one of the Cuckoo sisters mercifully dyed her hair black) and the art on some of these issues can get pretty murky, so which blonde is featured and is that Angel flying in the background. Maybe. Where's the shape shifter dude? *shrugs*
review 2: It's all right, though the plot doesn't really advance a lot. Things end pretty much where they ended in the previous volume. Only a couple of minor introductions of new characters/organizations. We finally know that there are more players than we originally though and it feels like SHIELD is being manipulated. On the other hand, I enjoyed the artwork, it's especially compelling in the "Limbo" sequences. less
