Unreachable Star Reviews October 18th, 2007 (SPOILERS)


This is our 238th edition, with just one book. Not much to say on it either, so it'll be a quick one.

This week we have...















-

Ultimate X-Men #87 - "Sentinels, Part 4 of 5" (Writer: Robert Kirkman, Pencils: Yanick Paquette, Inks: Serge Lapointe with Karl Story, Colors: Stephane Peru)
(jump to last issue)

The X-Men confront Fenris, Trask, and Stryfe, while an army of Sentinels is unleashed.

It's the same old story again isn't it. It's a decent issue. But it doesn't capture any of the old magic of the original series. It just goes through the paces and doesn't do anything remarkably new.

There's also a bit of a hackneyed plot-device of a failsafe. Fenris seemed to be a strictly business operation, which makes perfect sense. They want to make money even if it means selling out mutants. So that they'd make a failsafe where, in case they get captured or the government awards the sentinel contract to somebody else... the Sentinels just go berserk and start exterminating mutants far and wide. Where's the profit in that? It just seems a lame excuse to stretch out the action for one more issue.

Review: 3 stars

Well, that's it for this week folks. Next week, according to the shipping list, it looks to be another skip week.

See you next time...
