Review! X-Termination: Part One (Marvel)

COVER: Ed Mcguinness. I know this guy is a fan favorite ( whatever that means now-a-days) but I just
                think he draws everyone too thick. Okay cover.

STORY: David Lapham, Marjorie Liu, Greg Pak. (really? three people?) This feels like Marvel had
                intended it to be a major crossover event...but it is not. 'Age of Ultron' is out at the same time and
                I don't think people care too much about an alternate universe character (Age of Apocalypse
                Nightcrawler) off of a canceled book (Uncanny X-Force) that teams up with two other canceled
                books ( X-Treme X-Men and Age of Apocalypse)...bad timing Marvel. "Who cares" story with
                "who cares" characters. Too bad because 'Age of Apocalypse' was one of my favorite titles when
                it started, and it has ton of potential.

ART: David Lopez. Just okay. I went to this guys blog to see more of his work and it is much better than
           the art in this book. Maybe his next project will be better.

FINAL FILE: SKIP IT!...When I ordered this book it was a big deal...Marvel killed it...it deserved
                        a better death along with the titles it ended.
