I just...couldn’t do it to myself… I couldn’t read this issue.

Ok, now this is pretty goofy.

How do you know how old this issue is? Michael Jackson is on a T-Shirt and still brown-skinned. And I guess many people reading this review do not know that he was black once.

And for some reason in this weird issue of this weird series, the hissing shark sorcerer is back. You know, if they would get rid of that and give him better clothes, this could be a cool villain. But sadly he isn't.
And why that giant dragon could not easily take on the shark sorcerer, is anyone's guess. Also, is Nightcrawler still in the same world or why does the sorcer have this "Fangs of Doom" place?" Because before everything seemed to suggest that he was somewhere else now, since now there are the Bamfs (Nightcrawler mini-mes) instead of the Boogies.
And why does this alternative Kitty need to be saved? Can't she make herself ghostly as her counterpart? Everyone else has the same powers as their counterparts so does this mean she doesn't have her powers? Granted this was not the only thing making no sense, like how the sorcerer had captured the others in a puff of smoke but the Dark Bamf needed to beat up Nightcrawler first. For some reason. If these were better written, maybe I would have considered this as his sense of torture. Sadly this was not the case and this series was not silly enough to be funny for me.

Dopo la dimensione della caccia allo Snark Nightcrawler finisce nella dimensione dove i personaggi della fiaba di Kitty sono reali. Il riferimento è a un mitico numero degli X-Men che ho sempre considerato un piccolo gioiello.
Il semplice riallacciarsi a quella storia e ripresentare quei personaggi di fantasia merita più di una rilettura.
Sempre grande l'inventiva di Cockrum.
5 stelle

See, now this is where it goes insane, alt-reality madness what-even-the...

But I still love it.
