Date: 2012-03-31 04:49 pm (UTC)The art is really interfering with the tone that the writer's trying to set, i.e. charmingly normal domesticity, and not Cenobites wearing the skins of the damned.

Date: 2012-03-31 03:44 pm (UTC)Also having super-speed doesn't mean you don't have to do all the work, it just means you do it quicker. And unpacking is tricky, gotta think and find places for everything. I'm not sure I'd be up for doing all of it in the middle of the night no matter how cute my bf was.
But still yay this is cute and I approve of this series.
Also they're living in Hells Kitchen? I want a recurring sight gags with Daredevil being confused as to what the hell just wooshed past him.

Date: 2012-03-31 03:54 pm (UTC)i want to approve of this series so hard, because i support women writers, because the cast is interesting and ethinically diverse, because liu digs interpersonal moments, and because i'm convinced nothstar is destined to get bobby out of the closet one day. but this first issue was really meh and yeah, the art is a turn off.

Date: 2012-03-31 04:25 pm (UTC)But then, I'm not completely invested in these characters. These pages do sell me on the relationship, though. So. vOv
I'm glad that a portion of Alpha Flight's still hanging around.

Date: 2012-04-01 02:31 am (UTC)I liked Gambit and CeCe being all BFF-y. We don't get a ton of m/f relationships in comics that don't go right to OMG!sexual tension. And I liked that CeCe is still a voice of reason against the madness of what X-Men consider to be normal life.
For the most part, I liked the JP/Kyle scenes. Not so keen on JP calling Kyle "babe"; it's supposed to be the other way around, and I had to wonder if this was something else the writer goofed on.
Iceman getting to be badass is still all kinds of cool.
I also like that this team is made up of characters who aren't Xavier's lifers -- Wolverine and Gambit have a wiiiiide range of interests and contacts outside of the school, Northstar has his business and a non-superhero boyfriend, Karma has her family and spent time away getting her degree, Warbird is completely new to this superhero thing, and CeCe wouldn't go back to the X-Men if you paid her. Even Bobby tried living as a CPA for a while. It's an interesting set of perspectives. Unless this arc turns out to be complete rubbish, I think I'll be sticking around.

Date: 2012-04-01 07:24 pm (UTC)Can I say, though, that the coloring is just not doing much for me?
TL;DR: At Scans Daily, it's never just you. ;)
