Free Comic Book Day!

Last year's free comic for Free Comic Book Day. Basically three prequel stories in one book. A fun read, though! I have not read comics in quite a while, but they look awesome on my Kindle Fire so I may get back into reading at least a few once in a while.

A great preview. The mutants greatest secret has been revealed. There is a war coming between the Externals and the Mutants with the Avengers stuck in the middle.

A bonus preview of the up coming Bloodlines storyline staring one of my faverite characters.

This actually got me excited for this event. Eternals are not to happy with the X-Men finding a cure for death.

Judgment Day is coming

I have to say I am intrigued by this event. And this teaser shows a lot of promise for the series. Like a lot of others I think I suffered from Event Fatigue when it came to comics--I always wondered if the event is 6 to 9 months long and you add a prelude month for 7 to 10 months that means there are only a few months between events. Anyway.
I'm REALLY hoping this will clean up or streamline the X-verse/mutant side of things. I miss some of those characters but I have no idea what the hell is going on in those books anymore.
Oh well guess we'll have to wait until July. Fingers crossed.

The story about Blade's daughter did nothing for me but the other two were solid. I am excited for the triple threat showdown coming in July!

So it's ok to hate those who are different???

Wow. So, basically the main thrust of the plot is explaining the methodology of the Eternals, which is basically to kill anything and anyone who is different. The Eternals are working with the Avengers, who are somehow okay with this - even Captain America, who fought in a World War to prevent destruction of innocent people considered "deviants". As a person devoted to equality and social justice, this comic is NOT okay. Even if further issues go on to explain that the Eternals are not right, the cavalier on-panel execution of "non-normal" beings makes my skin crawl. DON'T make mine Marvel - not after this atrocity.

Mind virus

The use of incorrect pronouns reveals the true character of the people behind this. They will never stop trying to indoctrinate impressionable minds, because it is their true religion they ate fighting for, no matter how much damage it causes. Comics have always been overtly subversive, but they could hide behind the pretense of fighting something arbitrary or capricious before.

Now they reveal their true motivation, a war on reality itself, not merely tradition.

Perhaps the meta narrative of the liberal hivemind is the only surviving character left.

I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to read all of the Gillen's Eternals work when it's collected. I liked the X-Men story too especially as I've not read too much of the Krakoa era yet and am not sick of it yet. The Blade related storyline was also interesting and it's good to see a new face in that part of the Marvel universe.

Really good

I feel that it was nice that we got some free samples as now I know what I books I might be interested in.One improvement you could make was make it clear that the next story is starting.

Why bring MJ Watson into it? Spiderman may be overkill. Otherwise an interesting beginning to a war.

I didn't like the eternal stuff very much but the xmen and bloodline stuff was alright however 1 or 2 pieces of dialogue were a little off for me.

The narrative is fairly scattered.

The print is tiny. I had to blow it up like an old man. That makes reading the dialogue and seeing the colorful illustrations a bit clunky.

Deviants, mutants; mutations, deviations…

Lots of discussion and background; fairly light on action.

I know people love this writer but both storylines required massive retcons to characters in order to drive the plots. That’s just bad writing.

FULL REVIEW ON MY WEBSITE
http://thebookcornerchronicles.com/20...

This comic book is a crossover (if you will) between Avengers and X-men but you could also call this comic book for having 2 different stories in it. But we are here for the review, so lets get into the review without making the review longer than it needs to be.

The artwork in this comic book is very dynamic and fun. It captures the heroic essence of both stories in this comic book. And for me the artwork was my favorite part of this comic book for me. But its also important to say that the artwork at times doesn’t compensate for the lackluster storytelling in both of the stories in this comic book.

The narrative in this comic book isn’t the greatest. Because there are a lot of times in this comic book where it feels like the author of this comic book is struggling to find a cohesive narrative that does justice to such iconic characters as we get in this comic book and both of the stories.

The plot in this comic book feels very rushed and disjointed. Because it doesn’t go into much of details of the plot and at the same time it glosses over the parts of the plot which I found to be interesting and fun. At the same time the plot in this comic book lacks the depth and nuance that fans have come to expect from these franchises.

The plot in this comic book also gives us very predictable tropes, and at the same time the plot in this comic book offers us very little in terms of fresh ideas or engaging conflict.

The easiest way to explain in this comic book is to say that the plot feels very superficial skimming of the surface rather than giving us as the readers a fully developed plot.

The characters in this comic book feel more like caricatures of themselves rather than be the amazing character we are used to getting in other comic books about them and in the Marvel movies about both the Avengers and X-men.

There is another thing which annoyed me a to about the characters in this comic book. And the thing is that the interactions between characters, lack the chemistry and tension that fans crave.

The dialogues in this comic book feels very forced and unrealistic in a way, its almost like the writer was trying way too hard to give us good and heroic dialogues which would sound badass coming from a superhero but in reality its just not great.

Both the Avengers and X-men have their rich history, a deeper exploration of their relationships which would easily be a great comic book if only the writer knew what he was doing, but after reading this comic book I gotta say that I dont think that the writer knew what he was doing with this comic book.
