Atlanta Georgia, Ice boy is still being pursued by an oversized underground monster. His powers of ice do not seem to work properly and he notices that the temperature is extremely hot. Iceboy manages to muster up his remaining strength and blasts the beast with all of his might. Luckily for him, the tactic works and the beast fall to the pavement. Unfortunately, the young iceman isn’t out of the forest yet. The local police arrive on scene and, with their fire arm in hand, they scream FREEZE. Iceboy states: Believe me, if I could, I would. Moments later, iceboy is now arrested by two very condescending cops who don’t share a love for mutants. Iceboy plays along for now while the air-conditioning rejuvenates his powers. Suddenly, the young iceman activates his powers and blasts his way free, leaving a trail of wrecked police vehicles in his escape.

Whats goin on guys welcome to Comic Island, my name is joey and today, we are reviewing and recapping the all new X-Men issue 34. I’m not feeling this issue as much as the last one. There are good things about it but I felt like there were more bad things. So let’s go over what I liked about this issue. I love the consistency in the art; it really plays a huge role. The colors are kept very bright, this might be because the issue deals with teenage mutants going through some tough times. The facial expressions could use some work though.
Another thing I really enjoyed is the comedy. So after McCoy pours his heart out to a madman, doom goes, this is getting embarrassing, or how about when the two jeans started to wonder where Spiderman is. Then the scene jumps to miles sitting in the dining table with the whole X-Men team giving him the dirty look. Imagine if Morales accidentally fart. I can just picture iceman blasting Morales with all of his powers lol.
The other great thing about this issue is ice boy. Like I said on the last review, I really like young bobby drake. I remember how comedic it was when iceman met ice boy after the young icemen arrives at the jean grey school. Im looking forward to the moment when ultimate iceman and ice boy would meet for the first time.
Ok so now let’s go over what I disliked about this issue. We got a crazy cliff hanger ending in the last issue. And then we got this kind of cliff-hanger? Obviously we are wondering what jean grey saw that spooked her out so bad. But if you are like me and is thinking that the story is moving this slow, then do you even care what jean grey saw? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I don’t really care much for jean grey’s story arc.

And then there’s hank Mccoy’s story arc where he is pretty much kidnapped by Dr Doom. We have another question now. What does Dr Doom want with Hank McCoy. But my question is, do you even care? This is my biggest concern with this new story arc. The whole team is blasted off to the ultimate universe and they get separated, 1 issue telling 4 different stories. There are not enough pages in the issue to tell a proper story with 4 members of the team in different locations. So because of this, the story feels like it is moving SOO slow. I’ve lost interest in this story arc but I always try my best to be consistent with what I review. And I also remember when the all new X-Men were really exciting during the first dozen issues. Let’s forget about the battle of the atom story arc that never happened.
Ok so I also wanted to use this video to address some concerns about another title that I have been consistently reviewing. I have stopped reviewing wolverine and the X-Men. I was quite disappointed on the path that this issue series was going and then we got last issue that was basically a tie in to AXIS. There isn’t a clear story, just a bunch of random mini story that kind of conclude at the end of the issue. Im passionate about great story telling and unfortunately, this issue series doesn’t seem to know what story it wants to tell.
So if I drop an issue, I would normally pick up a new issue to review. But right now, since you guys have been really enjoying out top 10s and origins and bios, I’m gunna start to allocate more of my focus on that side of things.
