X-Men Forever 2 #7

The Marauders continue their attack in Alaska against the Starjammers while Corsair has teleported to the X-Mansion to enlist the X-Men's help in defending his home and rescuing Nathan from Dr Hanover and Mr Sinister.

I don't know if I want to go into details about this issue. It was just so awesome, nearly on par with issue 3. Chris Claremont's writing was top notch, and the pace at which everything happens is amazing.

Not to mention bringing on Ron Lim was genius! This issue made me feel like a kid again. I read alot of Ron's stuff when I was first getting into comics and I always loved his style, his Silver Surfer, his work on the Infinity trilogy.. he is such a prefect fit for this title.

Ron Lim brings so much energy to his drawings. The panel where Scalphunter was fighting Raza is so intense, it could have easily been a splash page and still would have been awesome. In fact every panel was like that, the fighting was brilliant portrayed.

Man, there are some great knock abouts in this book. Jean gets her brain scrambled, which I think isn't a good sign. Kurt absorbs some of Arc's power, and the fight between Sabertooth and Clone-Tooth was brutal.

We also get further setup brought up in the last issue by Ghost Panther; Perfect Storm is going to try and annex Genosha. And alot of people have been asking Mr Claremont about Yashida Clan in Japan.. well, he answers it slightly by saying they are coming after Kitty.

By the way, the ending of this comic is insane. The last 5 pages is crazy. Completely left field and never in a million years could I see that coming. I know some people will ask for pixs but I am taking a stance against spoiling this ending. You have to read it and see for yourself. Sorry XMF-fans!

In the end, this was a break neck comic. It moved so fast, that I read it in 5 mins. In fact, after this I'm gonna read it again. I just loved everything that happened in this. I seriously think you could show this issue to non-readers and they would enjoy the hell out of it.

Everything was spot on with this comic. Mr Claremont and Marvel, thank you so much for bringing Ron Lim on this title, I cannot wait for issue 8 and damn you for not releasing it next week.
