@ Newsarama: Uncanny X-Force #17
So over at Newsarama this week, I reviewed Uncanny X-Force #17, which may be my favorite X-Men comic in quite a long time. It's also one of the best looking mutant books in a long time:
Opena takes that force and speed that Remender writes and makes these character's conflicts and turmoils completely believable. Opena draws this issue as if he's drawing a superheroic opera. His characters are larger than life on the page, whether it is a gigantic, menacing Iceman or the conflicted Fantomex, who does not quite know what he is fighting for. He makes Remender's fantastical vistas and struggling characters real because of the conviction of his artwork. There's no doubting the characters or the settings of this issue because Opena just makes them all look so natural.
