X-Men: Gold #31 - Review


How about that marriage, huh? Yeah, well at least the fans got the long pined-for wedding of Gambit and Rogue. That is a hell of a consolation prize. We get just a bit of the fallout from the wedding before we are whisked away to the future, seeing that despite all their turmoil Shadowcat and Colossus still love each other and may still get together down the road - just not today.

God, it was good seeing Scott Summers again wasn't it???!!!

I was confused that we were seeing a glimpse into Extermination, but then the ending revealed it was just a hallucination and not real time travel - so erase from your memory all that bullshit I said before.

Poor Prestige was mind controlled - where the hell was Old Man Logan? Why isn't he on this team? That would have been perfect character work since he knows all about mind control. Oh well, none of that. Instead it looks like we might be blending with X-Men: Blue as Prestige laid waste to some of the originals.

This was a serviceable issue. Art was decent, story moved along. Your average X-Men comic.
