NYX No Way Home Series Thoughts

[babybro]

I've been an avid fan of this mini series even though it's rarely talked about on this board so I decided to start a topic. I just picked up issue 5 and once again it continues to be my second favorite book from Marvel (only behind blue marvel)
The best aspect for me is that this book instead of focusing on plot driven stories like most other books, focuses more on the character driven stories. We get a real connection with these characters that you don't really see with other books. This use to be the prime difference between Japanese Manga and American Comics, as American comics mostly focused on the plot itself.

Than you have a very diverse group of friends who are literally best really good friends. You can easily tell they care about each other a lot which is also missing in a lot of books. Overall, this is one of my favorite books from marvel and it's just sad that it's not talked about more often.

Does anyone have a summary for the latest issue? I forgot to pick it up. :(

Do I need to start sending you your pull list again?

No thanks, timbox.

My forgetfulness saves me a lot of money and I would appreciate it if you would not rob me of that.

So far, I've really liked it.

A little shocked at some of the stuff Kiden has done (when you compare her to Vol1), it seems quite a leap. But, hey, maybe it has been a big leap since we last saw her.

What has pissed me off a little is NO mention of Laura. At all. Not even in convocation. It's like she's was never there. A little nod here and there throughout the series would have been nice, since she was a big part of Vol1. - But I heard the writer (forget her name) is planning a Vol3 where it shows what the kids mean to Laura and what she means to them apparently, so I really hope that gets the green light from Marvel.

Over all, I am enjoying both the story and the art.

Well I just assumed Laura kind of ran off and didn't tell Kiden and co. she was now both a waitress at that Wannabe's club and living somewhere else. She didn't have a history of making connections with people at the time, after all.

But I'd like to see them track her down, for sure. I'd also love to see Kiden running her mouth at the X-Men. :biggrin:

This series has been disappointing. It lacks what I felt made the first NYX title unique. Actually, reverse that -- it contains what makes so many other current X-titles feel generic: too much emphasis on mutant powers, ghost stories, precognitive visions, etc. What I think it's missing is the gritty, "street" feeling that was so refreshing in the original NYX. It instead reads like just another book about mutant kids in trouble.

I did enjoy Cecilia's cameo, however. Great scene.
