Ultimate X-Men #2 Discussion

          I’m going to be talking about some spoilers for this issue so if you have not read this issue then please look away now. I’ve been enjoying this book so far and I think it’s worth your money to buy it.

          The first thing I want to talk about is the character in the cover of this issue: Mei Igarashi AKA Maystorm. I really like her design. I like that she takes so much inspiration from Ororo/Storm, and I think Peach Momoko, in an interview, even says that this character definitely idolizes Ororo/Storm of this universe. I have not read Ultimate Black Panther yet, so I don’t know how Ororo/Storm is like in that book but seeing Maystorm in this book definitely made me want to read Ultimate Blank Panther more for sure.

I’m glad that they introduced Mei in this issue because Hisako now has a friend that she can talk to and figure out her powers with. She definitely needed someone to be friends with because after Tsubasa and after meeting the Shadow, she started hiding herself more and more. In the beginning of this issue, we saw Hisako thinking about Tsubasa and thinking about what she could have done differently, so that he wouldn’t have died. The Shadow King (still unconfirmed if this is the Shadow King or not by the way) also seems to be watching her or corrupting her thoughts in the beginning of this issue. Hisako is pretty much alone and vulnerable; she doesn’t really know what to do with this Shadow King business and she’s still trying to process Tsubasa’s death, so Mei showing up how she did was like a lifesaver for her. Literally, when Mei showed up in this issue, it felt like the tone of the book changed, and it gave the book/Hisako a little more hope. I also like the little art decision Peach Momoko makes in this issue, where Mei breaks out of the panel of the book while she is helping break Hisako’s focus from the Shadow King. It’s like Mei dispels the curse that the Shadow King had on Hisako and the reader by just being there.

Hisako Thinking about Tsubasa/ The Shadow King Watching?:

Mei Showing Up and Breaking the Boundaries of the Book:

          Speaking of the Shadow King. I do not like that Momoko revealed who this Shadow King is immediately in this issue. At least, I think Momoko revealed who this Shadow King is. Sure, we don’t have a name for this guy yet, but I felt like it was too soon to reveal that a person is behind these torments on Hisako. I actually did like the idea for a while that he might be some apparition or some entity that is haunting Hisako, who just has a powerful psychic ability. I don’t necessarily think this decision was bad. I’m still very much into the book. However, I just would have loved to have had this mystery going in the book for a while. I am interested in where Momoko is going with this. I want to know who this guy is and what he was to Tsubasa because he seems pretty close to him. Maybe a brother? Or another friend? We also see a uniform when he was revealed so he’s definitely still a student. So maybe he was just a close classmate of Tsubasa?

Shadow King’s Identity:

          Lastly, I want to talk about Peach Momoko’s art once again. I will keep saying this: I think this book is so worth it to buy monthly just for the art. I love her art so much. I am so glad that she is both writing and drawing this series. I feel like it helps the focus of this book so much. My favorite page from this issue was the reveal of the security guard being a ghostly creature. It reminded me of a movie I’ve watched before, but I just can’t remember the name of it, and it’s been bugging the hell out of me, so if the security guard reveal reminded you of a movie, then please let me know what that is because I have been racking my brain as to what this reminded me of and just can’t remember it at all.

Picture of the Guard/ Favorite Page of the Issue:

          Anyways, thank you for reading my small discussion on this issue. I would love to know what you thought of this book as well as your favorite page or panel from this issue. Also, thank you in advance if you end up giving me the movie I have been trying to think about. Have a good day!
