X-Men
Black Sun Issue 2 Review
This comic book issue was
released by Marvel Comics in November 2000. It was written by Chris Claremont,
scripted by Len Wein, penciled by Thomas Derenick, Mark McKennana was the
inker, Pop Visuals was on letters, Tom Smith did the coloring. This continues
the five part Black Sun mini series to celebrate the 25th
Anniversary of the All New X-Men.
A lot was happening through this
pretty fascinating issue of the X-Men. We get a sense of what the game is
better, with the Bloodstones that Belasco is forging, based off of the souls of
the X-Men is going to cause his path to be a bit more easier. Kitty Pryde is
the first X-Men to suffer, where she cannot return to Earth, without her sold
so Magik places her essence in the soul sword but there is a chance that she
will be trapped forever.
As you might rather gather from
the title, Archangel is the next mutant to have his soul be used for the
sinister plan in this issue. A demon disguised as Storm goes right for
Thunderbird, Psylocke, and Arachangel. The battle happens and there are some
great fight scenes, some great visuals, and action that may keep yon on the
edge of your seat.
Yet in the end, the fighting was
all for nothing, as Archangel’s soul has been harvested and one of the five
bloodstones have been forged. The battle has just begun and things have just
gotten rather dire.
Overall this is not the deepest
arc, but really just a nice light read. I’ll reserve making my final judgment until
I read the last three issues on the stack. Most certainly as I’ve said, if you
want to read them, then you would read them all together.
