I am still so in awe of Ann Nocenti's avant garde commentary on reality TV and exploitation for entertainment as a whole. Indeed, you must be spinless to rule

X-MEN BLUE #14 REVIEW **SPOILERS**

Writer: Cullen Bunn Artists: Jorge Molina, Matt Milla, & Guru-eFX Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna Cover Artists: Arthur Adams & Peter Steigerwalk Publisher: @marvelentertainment NCBD: 10/25/17 Review by: Ryan Douglas

I haven’t enjoyed this crossover as much as others. The abundance of Mojo’s nostalgia kick overshadowed much the little plot there was. But this issue Cullen Bunn brings several new angles to present some development to this crossover. Mojo continues to search of the next thrill to keep his ratings up. If that’s playing off of team romance, Mojo will do whatever must be done. After sending more spires to New York, giving the audience a free gimme to watch his next action scene. There’s a certain set of characters that make a appereance and brings some excitment to the story. With only a quick glimpse of that seed, it’s properly planted to come back in a hastily way. The biggest development in the issue, comes from revealing where Mojo has been storing our “dead” mutants. After a quick reunion, the team has all come together and finds themselves in Mojo’s home world. While they figured out how to escape Mojoworld, Mojo has launched several more spires and this time plans turn reform New York City into his new home base.

Cullen Bunn brings some life back into this crossover. Feels as if Cullen Bunn’s part is to develop the plot, while Marc Guggenheim provides filler issues to provide a placeholder issues for TV jokes. Where the last issue ended with this grandiose cliffhanger of a Phoenix Sentinel and more, that’s pushed aside allowing Cullen Bunn to provide a more natural progression to the overall plot. Personally feels Cullen Bunn should’ve carried this crossover on his own. Within this issue alone, he layers the issue with nostalgia, humor, action, planting of intriguing seeds, and the next challenge for our X-Men. Why can’t every issue carrying this sort of style?

The art continues its top-notch trend, making you wonder why Marvel doesn’t keep top tier artist on their flagship X-Men titles. The last two issues of the Mojo Worldwide crossover have personally given me my favorite artwork in both X-Men Blue and Gold. It’s the consistency throughout, panel progression, and the choice of layering particular panels is truly superb. Marvel, don’t be afraid to keep this art team around once the crossover ends. It’s this sorta stuff us comic readers live for.

Next, Marc Guggenheim has to follow up to this and I’m worried we’ll take two steps back instead of forward. I hope he can prove me wrong and continue to carry the torch of this issue. There’s a two-week break before the next issue. So maybe this’ll give him time to return and deliver a punch.

8/10
