X-Treme X-Men #7 Review: Already on it, Lieutenant (w/Heavy Spoilers)

Well I'm pretty sure we've never seen Longshot's penis on panel so.... definitive maybe.

Maybe he just uses his luck powers into convincing women he's a man when he "has sex" with them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.

Seriously though. Sage + Dazzler + Gay Wolverine + Xavier head in a jar + All these fun versions of Danger = One extremely fun book.

I was initially very sceptical about this book and thought it had a ridiculous premise. It's still ridiculous, but in all the right and awesome ways. So glad I gave this a chance.

It's refreshing to see interesting ideas of contemporary sci-fi being used to portray an advanced machine civilisation, such as routine backups of individuals and uploading of human minds. Most importantly, the issue remembered to point out that there's no fundamental difference between a biological and an electronic mind - they're both people.

It gets my geeky seal of approval.

I love this book... but the art in the past two issues has not been good at all, in my opinion. Is that the new series regular artist?

Edit: Just realized that the issues had Valdes doing fill-in work, and those were the pages/panels I disliked. IGN summed it up best for my opinion: "Picture X-Men by way of Aeon Flux and you'll know what to expect. That sort of design sensibility suits the current setting well, but the angular, distorted, and sometimes sexually androgynous figures don't."

Edit 2: Also just realized that I've been very negative about art recently. Oops. Regardless, love Dazzler, love Sage, love what Pak is doing, even if the art is sometimes not my cup of tea!

i like that the art changes almolst from world to world. The upcoming artwork by araujulo (however you spell his name) looks very promising. This book has a kind of freedom the no other book does and i adore the creativity.

My favourite artist so far is Paco Diaz. He draws a beautiful Dazzler.

same here. Pak says that by story's end, he's putting Dazzler in a her brand new official uniform and I hope Paco Diaz is the one that renders it. Plus his artowrk looks really good with the super vivid colors they tend to use for the book.

Am I the only one who thinks alt-Dazzler looks sorta like longshot in this? I'm actually a little confused about if it's a female Longshot or a longshotty Dazzler.

Dazzler and Longshot had a similar look for a while, so it's taking elements of that era. Mostly though it's aiming for a Dazzler/Cable mash-up.

Yeah, I liked his issues. :)
