Hectic mayhem. Very entertaining.
I admit I enjoy Gillen's take on Whedon's run's space op elements much more than I did on Whedon's run. Wonder if the shift is in myself or in Gillen's writing.

Meh. Okay-ish at best, though there's a couple of good moments.

Wolverine & Jubilee

That was surprisingly fun, actually. Also I loved the art, a lot. Though sometimes Immonem's writing still makes my brain goes crosswire, but, yeah, overall a good story.

I wanted to enjoy SWORD so much but I just could not deal with Beast looking like that. He looked like a kangaroo, and my brain could not cope. Also, I'm not generally a fan of superheros in space!

Yeah, it's a pretty weird style of art for him. The first time I saw scans for it, I was totally wtf-ed. But when I started reading it, weirdly enough, I didn't mind so much. Guess it means the story has good flow, it worked well at pulling me under :3


I thought I wasn't a fan of superheros in space either, because everything else like that I've read (okay, the two, maybe three?, everything else like that i've read) I did not like at all. But weirdly, Gillen makes those zany space op elements work for me. I dunno how he does it. This requires further investigation.

I enjoyed Wolverine and Jubilee more than expected given the way Jubilee was treated as little more than a prop in the arc where she became a vampire, after the first issue. (I need to read the other comics with her since then.) I thought the first couple issues were a bit too focused on her being a problem that they had to solve (and it was too much about Wolverine's difficulty dealing with her being a vampire and less about her dealing with what happened to her at first), but it really turned that around with the final issue, and I'm curious at the implications that she's "different" from other vampires somehow. (and what changed her, if so. Emma seems to think that if she's different from other vampires it's either because of the amulet or Wolverine's blood, but Dracula did decide not to kill her, and I dount he was really that interested in maintaining goodwill or whatever.)

I thought it was mostly about her dealing with it; okay it was also about Wolverine dealing with it; but pretty much equally I guess? But yeah, I liked it.

I didn't read the arc when she became a vampire, I presume it's not really worth checking out?

Yeah, S.W.O.R.D. ! Je suis contente que tu aies essayé, et que tu n'aies pas trouvé ça horrible. :-)
Hum, il n'y a pas un retour à Breakworld dans l'arc actuel de Uncanny X-men ? Ca devrait trancher la question de savoir si Gillen peut faire passer ça ? Ou alors, j'ai mal interprêté, ce qui est possible aussi. ^^

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

*rire* non c pas horrible du tout.

Vi, enfin, pas un retour à Breakworld, I retour des Breakworlder par contre, et c'est un peu pour ça - en plus de SWORD - que je faisais la remarque que je préférais quand Gillen fait les éléments space op que quand c'était Whedon.

aussi, je voulais te demander.

Tu as New Mutant dans un format que je pourrais emprunter? Je vais bientôt en arriver au début de la série dans ma lecture x-men par Claremont, et malheureusement tous les scans que j'ai pu trouvé sont d'une qualité qui va rendre la lecture très difficile, et je ne crois pas que New Mutant soit inclu dans les volumes de "x-men l'intégrale" qui sont à ma bibliothèque.

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaah, je les ai en tomes anglais, pas de problèmes ! :-) :-)
Hum, enfin, j'ai les 1-3, on devrait me rendre les 4-5 dans quelques jours ou semaines au maximum, et le 6 sort début août, et après c'est l'arc de Louise Simonson, donc au total ça devrait le faire. :-)

Tu es libre quand pour se voir IRL ?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Chouette!!

Je suis libre à peu près tout le temps, tant que ce n'est pas tôt le matin XD
