Interpretation Supposing Books New X-Men, Volume 2: Imperial (New X-Men (2001) #2)

"Oh my stars and @%#*ing garters."

Let me start with the art. Frank Quitely, Ethan Van Sciver, and Igor Kordey (?) are all over the place. Their style is similar, sketchy, boldly lined and cinematic. But the characters look so unlike themselves and sometimes downright horrible. Wolverine can look fat and Japanese, Xavier like a starved villain, and everyone lumpy, skeletal, or big-headed. This is a long comic run, so the artwork is surprisingly off-putting.

"Welcome to a world where the weird are kings."

Grant Morrison, the beautiful bastard, is one of my favorite writers because his work is so different and intriguing. And he succeeded in keeping me turning these pages. This is hands down the strangest X-Men run I've read so far. Telepathic brains in jars, acidic vomiting, mutant organ farming. It's just a very fun, wacky world he's created here.

So this is a mixed bag. Morrison stays grounded but just weird enough to keep things fascinating. But damn it, the artwork is off. There were rare panels or splash pages that I loved by Van Sciver and especially Quitely, but I mostly complained while reading. I'm curious if anyone else is bothered by the artwork, because I hoped it would improve...

Evaluation Out Of Books New X-Men, Volume 2: Imperial (New X-Men (2001) #2)

Being new to reading X-Men I was recommended to start with the New X-Men run from Grant Morrison. The first volume was very understandable and I enjoyed it. I got the big lines of this volume, but it sometimes flew over my head. All in all it was an enjoyable read, and I will continue this series. But I am not as amazed by it as people said I would be. Oh and the art is terrible. I sometimes struggle to read on because it's just that damn ugly. I hope it gets better....

Continuing on with the great x-read of '17:This one was a page-turner. It really moves at a breakneck pace (good and bad as that may be) and keeps you reading. It is exciting (a bit confusing regarding Xorn considering that Marvel apparently never collected the issue where he came from, but that is a nitpick regarding the trades and not the story itself so I digress...) and a truly decent -and quick - read.I did find the U-men plot to be not that great and it ended so abruptly... Just odd.The

The breathtaking conclusion of the Cassandra Nova stroyline. It begins slowly and builds up momentum, ending in a splendid final issue (#126). The art shifts from being realistic and beautiful to quite messy and ugly, which is a shame. The storyline is all over the place as well, with a lot of padding and confusing parts thrown in. There are a few highlights here and there wheb the plot is slowly unfolded, but they are few and far between. Cassandra is also sadly underused until the very end and

New mutants (Angel and the Stepford Cookoos), a battle with the "Third Race", the arrival of Xorn, and the epic battle with Cassandra Nova, who brings the might of the Shiar Empire with her! Jean Grey is amazing here! Bring on the Phoenix! Such a long and action packed Volume! Grant Morrison has breathed new life into the X-Men and I like it!One negative. I wish the artwork was better, though it's certainly not the worst I've seen.On to Volume 3... recommend.

This was good. A step up from the first volume. I have some major problems with the art - many characters are lumpy and, well, ugly in a way they have not been before. The costumes are hit and miss as well - I love the leather jackets, but the ribbed outfit Jean Gray is wearing is... ugh.I loved seeing Wolverine befriend a newly awakened mutant, I loved seeing Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos, and I loved seeing the Phoenix make an appearance. The space part of the story arc was meh and I

This is probably the favorite thing I've read from Grant Morrison. I usually find his stuff too surreal and incomprehensible. This was dark, heavy, had a cool plot and it all made sense. I haven't looked ahead, but I'm hoping he wrote more of this series.
