Ultimate X-Men #92
‘Apocalypse, Part 3’
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Salvador Larroca

I’m still struggling to understand why I don’t like this series.

The story is interesting. Salvador Larroca rocked on ‘Xtreme X-Men.’ Robert Kirkman kicked ass on ‘Marvel Zombies.”

But mix all these ingredients together and I get a series I just don’t care about.

I mean, the first panel of a one-armed Wolverine is awesome. But the dreadful dialogue (“Why’d you shoot your own teammate, Cyclops?”) and the flat, uninspired artwork just deadens the whole series for me.

Anyone out there enjoying this?
