X-Men Adventures Volume 1 Issue 5
Review
X-Men Adventures
Volume 1 Issue 5 was released by Marvel Comics in 1993, based off of
the 5th episode of the X-Men cartoon series, written by Ralph
Macchio, penciled by Andrew Wildman, Inked by Robert Campanella,
Colored by Dana Moreshead, and Lettered by Michael Higgins.
Oh boy the
Morlocks, not some of my favorite characters. Now that is not to say
that they are bad characters, but to say they would be among my
favorites would be rather pushing it. That being said, Callisto's
design in this comic book, talk about creeping out. And the
implications. She wanted to produce an heir, using Cyclops.
This obviously
focused on Storm and got some rather important character insight on
her. I think I might have enjoyed the actual episode, especially the
fight scene. That is the funny thing, a capable artist can make a
good fight scene, but even in the hands of the most capable artists,
there are some limitations, that you can do in television, movies,
animation, what have you.
The duel between
Storm and Callisto was rather well played and I found that part to be
most well presented. I think that the Morlocks would have never been
that good again in this cartoon, although going through the countless
X-Men comic books, I'm sure they have had their moments.
Once again, it's
an adaptation comic based on a cartoon, an exact more or less scene
by scene. Not something that you should run from but not a comic book
that you should be digging up either.
