Strange Adventures and Apparitions #146
The Uncanny X-Men # 146
“Murderworld!”
Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
Synopsis
Storm’s team of X-Men have been captured by Dr. Doom! But how will Havok’s team do invading Murderworld?
Rolling Commentary
Page 2. Okay, official new amazing phrase. “Truly, your arrogance rivals my own.” Awesome.
Page 6. Dr. Doom’s a pervert.
Page 8. Hey, Polaris is intelligently using her powers. Hurray!
Page 10. How the hell does Arcade have technology that’s resistant to EM Pulses? And “Where nobody ever survives”? Yeah. Except everyone always does.
Page 12. You know, Bobby, I think you’ve got your priorities wrong if, when faced with immediate and horrible death, your first thought is your academics.
Page 14. Yeah, Miss Locke, bullets verses someone with magnetic powers? Not that smart.
Page 15. Banshee, I think it might be a trap.
Page 20. Yay for Iceman’s quick rescue! But I told you it was a trap.
Page 21. Havok was always more interesting than Cyclops.
Post Mortem
It’s rather nice to see a team of X-Men that we generally ignore rocking it out. Havok’s team is doing much better than Storm’s. That being said, Havok’s team is fighting Arcade’s sidekicks (lame to the max), while Storm’s is fighting the single greatest villain in the Marvel Universe. Still, it’s cool to see them in action. Especially Iceman, who really hasn’t done anything at all since Claremont’s run began.
Are Banshee’s powers ever going to come back? I mean, I know they will, but it’s been like two years for the original readers. Seriously, let the man heal!
Anyway, this issue was enjoyable enough. But you know what? There was clearly not nearly enough Dr. Doom. There should be more Doom in comics.
