Nyx: No Way Home #3 - Marvel


I like this book. I'm not really into the characters, but . . I can appreciate the dilemma that they find themselves in. Plus it's frustrating because it looks like things are going to get worse for these kids before they get better. They're out looking for their missing teacher, and mentor, Cameron Palmer. The problem is they're also the chief suspects in here abduction. Which means they have to go to desperate measures and confront a gang member that Bobby knows, to try to get some information. Tatiana touches him while he's bleeding and turns into, well . . him. Which startles him and he shoots her in the shoulder. Kiden uses her powers to get them out of the situation after Bobby beats him up and then some of his posse show up. But they have to take Tatiana directly to a hospital. That's where there luck really turns bad. First one of the nurses sees their faces on the TV, and then after Tatiana's operation they give her a transfusion . . . which turns her into . . whomever the blood came from . . on the operating table . . in front of everyone. But before she passes out from pain, Tatiana did get some information from the guy when she assumed his identity . . a contact number. Kiden and Bobby call it and meet up with the guy that's only known as the tattooed man. Fearing that he's going to do something to his younger brother, Bobby possess' him. The problem is, when he wakes up . . he doesn't remember any of them or what's going on. It seems that Kiden is slowly getting down to only herself that she can rely on. Nyx is an interesting character that was originally developed and created by Joe Quesada and Josh Middleton. Unfortunately, neither of them are present on this series. Here . . . Marjorie Liu is the writer, and Kalman Andrasofszky is the artist. However, luckily, the book really has the same feel as the first mini-series. It's ok. I bought it because I was curious. But so far, it really hasn't been all that great. It's interesting, and a decent read . . I just don't find it all that thrilling. We'll see though.
