WHOOOSSHHH! Sorry about the HUGE absence; school and theater seemed to have taken over my life. But now that I am in Summer Stock hell (for all those who understand my pain) I have acquired a lot of need to escape my current situation–AND what a better to do that than with my X-Blog!
Well I’ll sum up everything that has happened recently in the X-Verse so that my posts to come will tie in nicely. So we shall begin with Necrosha.
So Necrosha had a pretty nice plot line–nothing too amazing, but entertaining. I was originally excited about this because I thought maybe the X-Gene, or at least the reanimated mutants, would retain their powers, but alas this was not the case. Only a select few of the zombified mutants retained their powers, much like the ones living. Also, I was hoping the newly reanimated would remain animated, but that was also not the case–minus Douglas Ramsey, aka Cypher. The plot was pretty linear, no one really was changed forever (minus Cypher being left alive), and for the most part life as the X-Men know it was relatively unchanged. However, this story arch gave the New Mutants and X-Force a little more game time and it showed that these covers work well–especially New Mutants. However, in the wake of Utopia, Necrosha seemed to just fade away with a rather anticlimactic death of Selene, who probably won’t remain dead for long.
I’d say, read it them. The story is pretty solid, it has a lot of exciting elements, and you get to see a lot of those mutants you’d never expect to see again. Overall I give the Necrosha plot line a 3.8/5. Not completely a four because nothing major impacted the X-Verse, but not completely a three because it did have some awesome elements in it.
