xkoenig's X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back #2 - Part Two review

    Definitely pick up this mini-series!

    After the great start in issue 1, the story here takes a turn for the slightly more confusing as we flit back and forth between Pixie's story and the X-men on Utopia. I'm hoping these storytelling kinks we see in this issue resolve themselves. The story here is actually almost an origin story of Pixie, or at least a fleshing out of her background. Kathryn Immonen's writing is strong so far and holds up well, even with repeated flashing back and forward which makes things tough to follow on the first read-through. The main thing I appreciate is that the story is compelling, genuinely mysterious and feels significant. This is not indispensible reading, but it's definitely not a throw-away. This is a good model for how mini-series's should be handled.

      Okay, this one tied up a lot of questions that the first issue left. So that's a major plus. That still haven’t explained the big issue, like why the hell these demons have kidnapped Pixie, who "he" is that they’re afraid of catching them and who the big red demon leading them is. Although, the last one I have a guess at. He kind of reminds me of Sym, if Sym were a little brighter. In a lot of ways, actually, it seems to either alluding to or ripping off the most basic aspects of Storm and Illya...
