That first ...That's a great comparison, Lisha. That first storyarc for X-23 was really good, and it's just been going downhill from there. Birds started off okay, and kept getting worse and worse... Here's hoping X-23 doesn't continue going downhill...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-59945160451713571642011-08-07T12:18:54.206-04:002011-08-07T12:18:54.206-04:00And I agree with you as far as the first couple is...And I agree with you as far as the first couple issues were good, considering I was excited to see your score for the comics. But it's almost like BoP, started out great then just trailed off and lost its way. And I wouldn't blame you one bit if you dropped it after a few more story arcs. I'm really hoping it does pick up because X-23 sounds like a sweet ass character, and I would love to start reading some comics with her.Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-24626612509909085692011-08-05T23:56:33.865-04:002011-08-05T23:56:33.865-04:00I'd say my favorite X-book would either be X-F...I'd say my favorite X-book would either be X-Factor, Uncanny X-Force, or New Mutants, with the recent return of my namesake. So I usually enjoy X-Factor. While I didn't enjoy this particular issue, I really enjoyed the last issue, which seemed way funnier... I think that's the thing with Peter David. He can make a so-so story more palatable with his awesome dialogue, unfortunately, this issue lacked those laugh out loud moments... I got a few chuckles from Wolfsbane's interactions with Feral's ghost, but that was it. I do expect things to pick up with the next issue though, especially with the way this issue ended. As for the art, I'm a complete artistic ignoramus, so unless the art is so bad it hurts the story itself, I can usually overlook it.<br /><br />I'm telling you, Lisha, I don't know what's going wrong here... I mean, the first few issues of this series were good to great, but lately? Blah. After I posted this review, I began to seriously wonder if this series was even worth sticking with... I think I'll give it two more storyarcs, and if it doesn't REALLY pick up, it's bye-bye, X.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-20232912920839044562011-08-05T21:21:38.110-04:002011-08-05T21:21:38.110-04:004 out 10?

But like you said it's the start of a new storyline...so I'll be patient right along with you X and hopefully things will pick back up.Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-86280393298488364292011-08-05T20:10:09.897-04:002011-08-05T20:10:09.897-04:00X-Factor is my favorite book.

However, I feel like the last few issues have been kind of faltering. Maybe it's the inconsistent art. That tends to effect my mood about a comic. It just seems that every word baloon is a setup for a clever quip. I don't know. Maybe I'm just negative.Lebeau2501https://www.blogger.com/profile/10176393631164056855noreply@blogger.com
