X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong #1

X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong #1
One huge question comes to mind when considering the merits of this issue? WHY??? Why did Phoenix Endsong require a sequel? Answer - because you'll pay for it. That's right, boys and girls, there is absolutely no redeeming merit for this book, other than the fact that Marvel knows they can get away with it. Sure, the art is nice to look at, but the story doesn't make sense (sorry, if I can't figure out what the story is supposed to be saying after reading the first issue, then the rest of the series is worthless in my book). Here's what I was able to figure out: a malevolent presence infects the three surviving Cuckoos and transforms them into the Phoenix entity. And then their two dead sisters crawl out of the grave to join them. Yup, that's IT. Sounds interesting doesn't it? For me to poop on! Phoenix: Endsong was a beautiful book, and although it was hard to figure out, there were true pathos there. Not here. This book is CRAP. But the sheer obnoxiousness involved in its publication demotes it to the level of ASS. Because there's no good reason for this book to exist. At least the title isn't "X-Men: The End: Phoenix - Warsong" or even "X-Men: The End: Phoenix - Endsong, Book Two: Phoenix - Warsong". How overblown would that be? Although you just know that somebody out there is disappointed that he wasn't allowed to title it such. ASS.
