RE: 'Uncanny X-Men' Volume Four Review: Tortured souls and longing for a different lifestyle

in Hive Book Club4 months ago

Rogue wanting a normal boring life is hardly a surprise, there's been so many comics around for so long through constant reboots it seems like the characters' lives are a little bit too action packed, I don't know when they would ever have time to sleep never mind anything else XD

Yeah I like the stories that do focus a bit more on their lives and wants beyond that stuff. It's interesting to see them as actual people with struggles, especially if it doesn't really align with the situations they're often stuck in. I think the moral dilemma of being able to help people but also not actually wanting to do it is quite a fascinating concept to consider. And it's hardly done.

Also I haven't seen a whole lot of the accent exaggeration in the dialogue either! But perhaps I just haven't read enough comics to notice.

Sort:  

I think it's mostly Gambit and Rogue in the X-Men comics as they have the strongest accents from memory. Then there's other fun stuff like characters having different font and speech bubble shapes and colours for their dialogue which makes them sound different XD

That's kinda fun. Does change things up a bit. Those two characters do seem like the more interesting ones compared to the usual.

Never thought I'd have even the slightest curiosity in this stuff. Admittedly a lot of my interest is in art and seeing how people draw things differently. But if the story is good, then I'm even more likely to stick around.
