x-infernus #2 - Marvel


What a cool book. Illyana's back, and this time . . after she gets her soul-sword back from Pixie . . she appears to be in her human form once again. But just because she looks the part doesn't mean that she's the same lovable sister that disappeared into the depths of Limbo all those years ago. And upon getting her sword back, and she returns to Limbo, she finds out that she's going to have to fight Belasco all over again. Well . . sort of. This time . . it's his daughter. Anyways, Peter, of course, wants to take off right away and try to get his sister back. Plus, during their battle, Pixie saw the Amulet that Illyana was wearing and it's the one that holds the missing piece of her soul. So she's got a pretty vested interest in wanting to get down there also. The issue ends with Scott sending his hand-picked team down to Limbo, and them coming face to face with a bunch of angry demons. The team consists of Nightcrawler (the mission leader), Peter, Pixie, Wolverine (isn't he always involved?), Rockslide and Mercury. It's an interesting choice of team. I actually think that we're going to find out, in Limbo . . . Pixie's the most dangerous one of them all. She's got some bite. C B Cebulski writes it. I actually think he's doing a good job with the characters that he's got involved here. And Giuseppe Camuncoli does the art. It looks fantastic. I think this is going to be a nice little mini-series. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. By the way, this series is adorned by some beautiful David Finch covers. What more could you ask for?
