X-Men Volume 1 Issue 14 Review
X-Men Volume 1 Issue 14 review was released with a cover date of November 1992 by Marvel Comics, written by Fabian Niciez, Mark Pennington was the inker, Lois Buhalis as a letter, Marie Javins on colors.
As is the nature
of these random reviews, sometimes I am fortunate enough to come
across all of the issues in that box of hundreds and hundreds of
comic books that I recently acquired. And sometimes, I get thrown in
right into the thick of things at about Issue 3 of a Multi part
series.
Thanks to the
magic of Google, I can fill in the blanks but that is a bit of a
cheat really, as Google didn't exist back in 1992, so as a fan who
would have picked up the comic book just blind at my local comic book
shop, would I have been just befuddled? It is kind of hard to say,
because I do have some foreknowledge of the X-Men.
Professor Xavier
is at deaths door. The time traveling Bishop is trying to hunt down
the assassin, shouldering some of the blame. Meanwhile that other
time traveler, Cable, reaches the conclusion that he perhaps might
have shot Xavier but this seems rather impossible. Cable and Bishop,
they were around a lot in the nineties, so I'm not surprised they
popped up here.
Plus Mister
Sinister receives the bodies of Jean Grey and Cyclops for his
potential malicious plans, as our heroes try and determine what type
of virus Xavier was shot with, as they try to find the two missing
X-Men. And Apocalypse is also reawakened, which really tends to just
expand upon the threat.
Obviously I wasn't
completely lost without the first two parts but multi comic book
stories are intended to be read each and every issue. Based on what I
read, not a bad X-Men issue. Not the best but I have read far worse
comic books in my day.
