'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10

I can't believe it. It only took two issues but I think can finally say it without lying to myself or you, my adoring audience. I think the X-Men might actually be... good again? Scratch that. It's probably too soon to tell, but one thing is for certain - X-Men: Blue #2 is a joyous celebration of everything that makes the X-Men tick. Cullen Bunn is working within the framework that made Chris Claremont's career, but adding his own little flourishes to the plotting. And he's got a fantastic artist in Jorge Molina to help carry the weight, which goes a long way to actually making this story feel like it matters.

Bunn's most well-received work for Marvel to date would have to be the Magneto book he did a couple of years back, and he's carried his affinity for the Master of Magnetism over to X-Men: Blue. In a universe that lacks a Charles Xavier, the ideological void has to be filled, and while we've seen Kitty Pryde taking up that mantle in X-Men: Gold and we've seen Magneto in a similar role in the past, it's rare that we see two schools of thought cropping up around the same main idea that humans and mutants need to live in some sort of harmony. How Kitty and Magneto interpret Charles' ideas we have yet to really see, but it's definitely interesting to see them both start from the same place.

It's really hard not to love Bunn's take on the original five X-Men either. His Jean Grey is poised and in control. His Iceman is realistically dealing with a long-distance relationship. The tension between Beast and Cyclops is palpable. Scott is the character hewing most closely to the classic version of his character — his loss of identity due to no longer being the leader of the team is clear, but he still feels the need to speak with some authority. It's been really fun to see how he bristles at the changes the rest of the team has gone through. Angel is the least defined of Bunn's main cast for now, but that doesn't mean that he's completely sidelined. The biggest strength of Bunn's book right now is that not only is he leaning into the melodrama that is essential to the X-Men, he's also introducing mysteries that do not have clear answers just yet. It feels like it's been awhile since we actually had questions that needed answering. Bunn is doing a great job building short scenes that are well-paced and amp up the intrigue in the book.

But this book would be nowhere without Jorge Molina's art. There are some really moving, important moments in X-Men: Blue #2 that Molina is tasked with executing and he absolutely knocks it out of the park. I've mentioned his expression work and realistically rendered teenaged characters before and he still has not lost a step in that regard. This is a heavy issue for the X-Men. They are trying to reconcile what they know about Magneto with what they think Charles Xavier would want them to do. That's no small task, and the weight is really on Jean's shoulders. Molina puts her front and center as often as he can and balances out those big emotional moments with some fun light ones. Occasionally there is an odd page layout that makes a character kind of look like they're floating but it's not enough to distract from the reading. Overall, there's a lot of care being taken by the artists that goes beyond the nuts and bolts of how comic book art is made. You can't look at these pages and not feel for these characters - and that's something that goes beyond just lines on a page.

X-Men: Blue #2 is the strongest of the new X-Men lineup so far. It's a return to what makes the X-Men great: melodrama and intrigue buoyed by strong character work and effective, emotive art. And it's becoming clear that Bunn is not satisfied to just riff on what Claremont did in the past. Instead, he's taking the core approach from those books and applying it to the idea that he finds the most fascinating in the Marvel Universe. Magneto is a great character to have anchoring the title because he is so important to the legacy of the X-Men so this ends up being somewhat uncharted territory for the cast. Jorge Molina is helping Bunn build something that finally feels essential instead of gimmicky and if they continue down this path, there's no reason that these creators won't be remembered far past their years for making the X-Men a must-read in Marvel's publishing line again.

Direi che qua ci siamo.
Bunn nettamente meglio rispetto al suo lavoro su Uncanny.

X-Men Blue #2 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by Matthew Sibley; 'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10):

ResurreXion was always intended to reestablish the basics of the X-Men and while X-Men Gold may have looked to Claremont, Cullen Bunn goes back a decade further and considers the fundamentals that Lee and Kirby first laid out. Defined early on by the difference between Professor X and Magneto's viewpoints, Bunn take this opportunity to see how the Original Five work with a Magneto who's lived through this battle of ideologies. This is unfortunately undercut by an early panel of Jorge Molina's where Magneto looks very close to the age of the Original Five. Otherwise, his art has a sheen to it, and while it shines in the smaller moments, the larger moments are hurt by being fragmented into so many panels where the composition of the full page doesn't come together. Despite the change from working with Xavier to Erik, the underlying tensions of the team persist, and one beat involving Iceman and Angel lands because of brief three panel set-up on a single tier to make it feel fleeting. While not a grand reinvention, the basics are locked down enough that anyone's who jumped on will be able to ride out the growing pains without too much trouble.

Damn! Decisamente il numero migliore di tutte le testate X post-ResurrXtion!
E la cosa non mi stupisce, a differenza del Post-SW, tutti hanno carta bianca, non ci sono paletti e nessun status quo del cazz, possono fare quello che vogliono e Bunn ha già piazzato un mucchio di cose, abbiamo il nuovo Wolverine,

Spiacente, ma non sei autorizzato a visualizzare il contenuto degli spoiler.

E poi Bunn, molto semplicemente, capisce Magneto... Lui è uno che vuole la pace, ma ha visto/subito e perso troppe cose e ormai è incazzato nero, da anni....
P.S. Ahhh il robot Ferris, ma beeeella Bunn!

Molto bello questo numero, Bunn può scrivere senza limitazioni e sono sicuro che ne approfitterà alla grande!

Tre numeri e ormai Bunn mi ha già conquistato!
Avevano detto che avrebbero cercato di coinvolgere più fan possibili su Gold and Blue così da avere un po' di sana competizione, bhe io mi schiero dalla parte degli X-Men Blue!
In questo numero vediamo

Eventi/Storylines pilotate dai piani alti sono un vero inferno (vedi tutto quello che hanno fatto post-SW), ma quando gli autori hanno carta bianca e hanno modo di raccontare tutto quello che vogliono...Cazzo è tutta un'altra cosa e si vede eh!

[Azrael]

When you change the game, you change the equation. X-Men Blue has reintroduced an old threat with a new purpose: Sentinels that want to protect mutants. That's an interesting dynamic that goes to a somewhat disappointing place before the end of the issue. But the idea is so intriguing that it still has a lot of potential. And it has Jean Grey and fellow X-Men wondering if they're too quick to attack their enemies. Cullen Bunn's script goes well until the late issue twist that turns it into a more conventional superhero battle. Jorge Molina's artwork is way above average, but the pages by Ray-Anthony Height steal the issue and seem to invoke Stuart Immonen's All-New X-Men run. Somebody needs to get Height on a full time X-Men book immediately. That's exactly the kind of art that this book needs. The script narrowly misses the mark, but the artwork more than makes up for it. -Blair

Final Score:

7.8/10
