705. Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #211 ... #x-men ... #marvelcomics ... #marauders ... #harpoon ...

[This is reviewed and posted on 5th Feb 2018]

Once again, when the cover opens up, we get a splash page. It looks so good with the Marauders standing and posing and looking every bit menacing! Hehehehe! And then the storyline takes off like a rocket!

One more time, after the last big hoo-ha issues, we see the X-Men recovering again and some are at something that looks like a farm and what-not. And while they are doing it, what happened is that some of the Morlocks burst through the X-Mansion's lower levels asking for sanctuary and salvation because they are on the verge of being slaughtered to the last man. And Storm although powerless is the leader of both X-Men and Morlocks and it is her responsibility

So tense negotiations are in place between Storm and Magneto before the X-Men went to the lower levels and this time, it is carnage unlike anything the X-Men has ever seen. In fact, it is so bad and the X-Men is so unprepared that while they go around trying to defeat the villains, they are caught in the storm of carnage and chaos to the point that we see Colossus KILLING Riptide (guy who spins himself fast and release some small nasty spikes)

Many an X-man is cut down and worse case is they have no idea what the villains' powers are . Who is Harpoon, Arclight, etc? And what kind of damage will they inflict on the X-Men? Well, we will give you a rundown on who is affect - Colossus, Kitty and Nightcrawler and the ramifications go for quite a few issues after this all the way until both Kitty and Nightcrawler joined in the formation of Excalibur waaaaay down the road

Ratings: 8/10
