The Story

With all the X-Men lost in their own different times, forming a mutant-led team to take down a villain is no easy task. However, Cable seems to have managed to accomplish it. Cable is on the hunt for a way to take down Apocalypse, and he’s ready to put his plan into action. With Archangel, Psylocke, Jubilee, and Sunspot by his side, the team start their journey. The team, X-Force, knows this won’t be easy and they’ll need help from what they call a “hound”, which is someone that can track down mutants. So, their first task is to hunt down the greatest hound of all, Caliban.

Steve Foxe keeps the excitement of the second season of X-Men 97 going with this second issue. We get an even better look at how Jubilee and Sunspot are handling themselves as the new recruits of X-Force, and we get to see just how tense it is between the characters. Jubilee and Sunspot are definitely the stand outs of the team, while the others are much more aggressive in their tactics. I’m excited to see how this turns out in the later issues as something’s going to come to a head.

The Art

The artwork excellently captures the magic of the TV series while giving it the energy of a comic. The characters are drawn beautifully while they wear their emotions on their sleeves. The character’s facial expressions practically tell the whole story themselves, which was very fun to see. This is all thanks to Salva Espin, who is the artist of the comic. The colors are vibrant, making each page nothing short of stunning. The lettering work is expertly done by Joe Sabino who gives an even flow of dialogue that’s sprinkled with excellentely timed sound effects.

Final Thoughts

With the excitement of the show, X-Men 97 Season 2 #2 keeps the good times rolling. If you want even more X-Men fun, I highly recommend checking this run out!
