![]() This conflict connects to Psylocke more than others through a daughter she had given up when she was an assassin. Each of the team’s members lost their childhood to something horrific. It feels natural to see her team fight to save and protect children, human and mutant. It quickly connects her to her teammates in quick and meaningful ways, while bringing depth to this Psylocke’s experience. He’s abstract much like her struggles, and makes the struggle to overcome him as abstract most of the time. It makes the idea of a wraith-like techno-god named Apoth, the perfect foil for her and her small team. She needs a purpose, and all she knows is violence. Previously a child soldier/assassin for the organization called the Hand, she, much like the apocalypse survivor Cable, and ex-child-assassin X-23, finds it hard to be apart of the happy lives others have found on Krakoa. It creates a compelling introspection into a character who derives deeper storytelling about trauma, lost of autonomy, and being a soldier in a time of peace. Marvel is finally giving Kwannon, the body’s true owner, the chance to take control of the name she’s known by. This is a Psylocke post separation from Betty Braddock. It’s about them just trying to find a purpose on an island of peace. It’s about Psylocke, young Cable, and my favorite superhero ever, Laura Kinney, Wolverine. For me though, at times the art makes the story harder to understand than it should be.įallen Angels is kind of like Hellions before the Hellions comic started, which ironically also has Kwannon Psylocke leading it. It’s highly artistic, making this easily the book people would point as high art among the six series. ![]() I’m honestly not a fan of the 3D graphics looking style we get from Kudranski’s art. I think that’s part of the reason why it ranks so low. Unlike the other titles, this is the only one of the six whose art style has never changed. ![]() Even though I would say this is the worst, its still pretty good. ![]() I think its best to start with the worst of the bunch in my opinion. Number #6: Fallen Angels, written by Bryan Edward Hill and illustrated by Szymon Kudranski Unlike most reviews, I expect that the people watching this have not read all the comics I’m talking about. I don’t want to go too deep into spoilers too much, but it will happen. That’s what we, and by that I mean me, are here to do, rank and give a general review of the Dawn of X. So that brings us to the conceit that anyone must be thinking, how does it all stack up? Which X-Men stories are the best of Dawn of X and which can you skip? I’m talking about Dawn of X’s first wave of 6 comics, 5 of which are still ongoing a year later. Though, in the time of COVID its actually amazing how this problem didn’t become worse. There have been even a few issues that have created some timeline confusion. Sure, there have been low points, some issues are dull in quality, but that’s always going to happen. It’s something only comics can and will ever achieve. There are so many great book all connecting with each other to tell a story. This must be what it was like to have been reading X-Men when Chris Claremont was in charge of everything. ![]() It’s been a wild ride, and amounting to one of, if not my favorite comic era of all time. Its been little over a year since Jonathan Hickman’s House of X ended and the new Dawn of X era started. Basically, if there’s a Dawn of X comic that’s come out since June 2019, it’s probably gonna get spoiled. There are spoilers for a mega-ton amount of comics.
