Reviews

[Colin Post]

Victor LaValle continues to write some of the most thought-provoking work on the stands right now. Disguised as an anti-hero story, LaValle is writing an insidious critique of the exploitation that has underwritten scientific progress. Dr. Barrington is a compelling villain for this plot, not exactly a mad scientist but someone with a clear-eyed view of the bodies that science feeds on - and it’s okay because they’re mutants, right?

[John-E-Raps]

I love this issue! The plot thickens now that Orphan-Maker (a mutant with apocalyptic powers) has fallen into the hands of the mutant-hating organization Orchis. Sabretooth’s powers are waining due to his experiences at the hands of the evil Dr. Barrington in last issue. Will the heroes get to Orphan-Maker in time to stop him from blowing up the world? Will Sabretooth find a way to describe the sinister device effecting his mutant healing factor? I’m not tellin’, but this story’s intense!

One of the better titles out right now. But the best moments were when Nekra and Oya acted as the voices of compassion and reason within this ragtag group of criminals. Some characters had few, if any, lines. The Orchis scientist lady makes no sense as a villain, given how every time she commits pen to paper, she finds a way to brag about the fact she has no sense of medical ethics.

¿Los niños adoran a Dientes de Sable?....


Desde luego el no saber que una armadura contiene un poder nivel Extinción deja en muy mal lugar a cualquier personalidad científica mutante.

Disfruto de los momentos de más choque entre personajes. Pero no sé a dónde quiere llevar esta historia.

A desperate escape

The Exiles deal with further complications escaping Dr. Barrigan's prison.

The comic has a dry tone with the occasional bit of dark comedy.
