Just had the chance to read X-Men Red 4... Still more bearable than the other titles I've read I'm yet to see how this issue is "better" than any other before it. The art is still very sloppy and rushed. Jean talks like a robot. Tom Taylor has gone from pay gap issues to Facebook's potential interference in the election. The dialogue is clunky and has an unnatural, artificial flow. The pacing, is ok, but again, the transition from one action panel to the next isn't great.
Still don't understand why there are children on this team for a very dangerous mission. It would make for a good subplot if someone had exceptions and needs to either be vindicated or won over. But we just have everyone being ok with it...
It was an ok read. I didn't read any of Tom Taylor before this and I'm not won over by his work thus far. It's mediocre.
Story (premise)- 2 (what does she mean by "Nation"?)
Art- 3 (dark, and sketchy)
Dialogue- 2 (robotic with attempts at humor)
Pacing- 4 (things do move forward successfully, but perhaps too fast?)
