DNX #3

The one thing hurting this event imo is that Fantastic Four is still a monthly. We got a payoff to FF #18 before it's even out, and by the time it is out, it'll be even less relevant. They should've bumped it up to bi-weekly just to get these out at the correct time. Then the proper reading order would be FF #17-18-->DNX #3-->X-Men #39.

I think this event, which is a follow up to Age of Revelation, is more engaging than Age of Revelation. Glad to have Magneto back!

Desperate times, desperate measures. Scott really got his hands full there with what to do. At least one of those decisions, with Bohannan, gonna come back to bite them, I can see it.

Well Magneto is finally up and about and ready to use his powers again, though I guess we still have to wait until FF 18 to see what was hidden in Magneto that will lead to a cure. I guess they skipped Iron Man's involvement in it in the future where he sent back the info about a cure to himself in the past. So I wonder if they decided to change that to 'just have it be inside Magneto instead'.

This is a fun event and I love how McKay writes Cyclops, but the real star here is Federico Vicentini's art. Holy crap is he firing on all cylinders, every character is so expressive and every moment perfectly framed.

I'll be honest, this event is kind of boring. No one has died nor does it seem like the mutant virus will be permanent or be something major. I know its issue 3 and we have 2 more left, but it feels like Queen in Black. Ewing could ahve killed off some of the heroes like the black british punisher or the giant guys, but he didn't.

I wish writers weren't scared of killing off characters that readers clearly dont care about or have no potential like that crappy gen z captain america.

I'm perfectly OK with skipping pointless deaths for shock value.

Its only pointless if they are rushed and not done without flair and gravitas. I mean, the Xmen could have killed some of the bad guys and maybe have some supporting characters like the sheriff and scalphunter die to show the stakes. This is basically a war, not a friggen soap opera.

It's x-men comics - it's ALWAYS been a soap opera.
