(And New Mutants didn’t even land on its feet until Vita Ayala’s recent takeover.)Ĭomic Book Herald is reader-supported. As for Duggan’s Marauders, that title has been an enjoyable slow-burn, but it’s also been consistently inconsistent in quality and focus-except that it serves with surprising success as Kate and Emma’s impeccably charming and well-deserved showboat. Now, there are certainly moments in Excalibur that, for me, have outshone almost everything else across the line elsewhere, the best short, nonevent story arc is, in my view, undoubtedly X-Men #18-19. Reading back through the Dawn of X, I’ve maybe been a little surprised to find my overall favorite series among the initial ongoings has been Percy’s X-Force by a considerable margin.
X-Force #7-8 (& #9’s debut of the Green Lagoon)
