| Son
of M #2 Follows Sell-out First Issue!
Both
Jason Schachat and I enjoyed the first issue -- not necessarily
a rare thing that both of the resident critics at Fanboy
Planet agree, but perhaps a nice vote of confidence in this
series.
With
this issue, it looks like David Hine is going to take things
a step further and not just develop Pietro into a human
being. We're going to get more of Crystal as a character
than we may have since the Lee and Kirby days.
That's
impressive.
Check
out the cover and six pages of preview art Marvel sent over,
and you should be enticed into picking up the actual book.
From
Marvel:
Pietro Maximoff, formerly the speedster known as Quicksilver,
is at the lowest point of his life. And now he will be unable
to pick up the first issue of his very own mini-series,
Son of M #1, which has sold out of Diamond.
The
creative team of David Hine and Roy Allan Martinex has received
an enormous amount of acclaim for their emotionally-grabbing
first issue. Ten Terrific writer Hine is sure to springboard
into superstardom with the completion of Son of M and Martinez
continues to impress with his intensely detailed visuals.
Eric
Sunde of IGN.com asks, “Wow, another great Decimation
tie-in miniseries? Peter David may have met his match in
David Hine, as far as handling Quicksilver's characterization
goes.”
Don
MacPherson of TheFourthRail.com says, “The [Decimation]
limited series -- such as Generation M and now the debut
issue of this six-parter -- are exploring some rich, character-driven
material. This may be the best thing David Hine has written
for Marvel Comics thus far, and given the promise he showed
in early issues of District X, that's saying something.”
TheComicFanatic.com
says Roy Allan Martinez, “delivers a gorgeous issue
filled with some of the most incredible detail ever put
to a comic book panel.”
There
are no plans at this time for a second printing of Son of
M #1, so retailers are encouraged to increase their orders
on any Decimation-related title. Many of the Decimation
titles have already sold out and those that haven’t
will not be available for reorder much longer.
Be sure
to pick up Son of M #2 as Pietro is reunited with his wife,
the Inhuman Crystal. Will Quicksilver find redemption among
his remaining family or will the depths of his despair cause
him to continue his downward spiral with yet another betrayal?
