Astonishing X-Men

review 1: Apesar de ter esquecido a cronologia e lido este volume antes do que deveria (consequentemente me dando alguns spoilers...) eu o curti bastante. Gosto muito do Ellis, e ele não decepciona. E impressiona a consolidação da evolução no desenvolvimento de Scott. Que personagem, que personagem.O arco é bom, mas a estória extra no fim do volume é ESTUPENDA. É o Ellis brincando com possibilidades que não podem ser exploradas na estória "pra valer", então se vai longe. É impressionante, pra reler pra sempre.
review 2: Astonishing X-Men is easily one of my favorite superhero comics and I was scared to read what came after because it generally was not well-received which is demonstrated by the score here on Goodreads. After finally getting over my fear, I r... moreead this next volume and was pleasantly surprised. Warren Ellis was the perfect author to take over because he can write characters like Brand, Emma Frost, and Armor in a similar way to Joss Whedon. The overall tone of the book is different and darker, but the humor Ellis injects into the plot was much appreciated. The plot wrapped up in a somewhat sudden manner, but that didn't bother me too much.I think the art is the big reason people are down on this arc. Bianchi's art can be sublime and wonderfully detailed, but it is clear he had trouble keeping up with the monthly schedule. There are a lot of white panels to speed up his drawing. There is even a place where he didn't bother fully drawing Cyclops. I can see where this would really aggravate some readers. I thought Forge (a character I don't really know) looked ridiculous and really 70's (which maybe was the point?), but overall, the art didn't bother me too much. It is not excellent, nor is it horrible. I'm hoping that the next arc by Ellis is also good because I want to keep reading about these characters for many issues. less
