Maybe I set my expectations too high...
Humphries didn't do his homework.
This isn't Psylocke. This isn't Storm. This isn't Puck. This isn't a good start. Everything is abrupt without explanation. I love the chemistry between Betts & 'Ro, but bonding over snapping your brother's neck and getting served your papers just makes them both look so uncharacteristically callous. Then we're introduced to Puck who's turned into an unapologetic sleaze-ball since he got back from hell? Then Bishop pops in from a supposedly abysmal future...looking buff and put together with some snazzy new threads....that look similar to the new UX uniform....um, ok. Then....Fantomex and.....what?
The art is good. Kudos to Garney, although I'm not a fan of the black, white and pink windows.
Psylocke is my favorite character and I've followed her for 20 years (except the Exiles years) but Humphries has 1 more issue to pull me in before I drop this.
