\"\"<\/a>X-MEN UNLIMITED INFINITY COMIC #56-58<\/strong>
\n“X-Friends”\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWriter & artist: Jason Loo<\/strong>
\nColourist: Antonio Fabela<\/strong>
\nLetterer: Joe Sabino<\/strong>
\nEditor: Lauren Amaro<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a sequel to the three-part\u00a0“Downtime” arc featuring Madrox and Strong Guy, also by Jason Loo, which ran in issues #21, #27 and #34 (because\u00a0X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic<\/em> is a weird book).<\/p>\n

As in the previous arc, Strong Guy wants to hang out with his old pal Madrox, while Madrox is more preoccupied with his responsibilities as a father, leaving Guido stuck with the duplicates. They’re off in the Shi’ar galaxy for the equivalent of a weekend in Vegas, and manage to lose their ship as well as a bunch of dupes.<\/p>\n

It turns out, of course, that the dupes took the ship, and for some reason a night on the town has convinced them to… go off and become pirates? I’m not sure that’s how it’s meant to work. Somehow or other there’s meant to be an angle in here where Madrox decides that he needs to solve his problems for himself rather than palming them off on dupes, but since that’s not really what he did wrong in the first place, it doesn’t quite land. And it’s not really a Guido story at all.<\/p>\n

So they track down the renegade dupes, Madrox absorbs most of them, and one of them just gets handed over to the authorities to take the fall for everything. It’s pretty lightweight stuff, even for\u00a0Unlimited<\/em>, with the highlight being the character work in Loo’s art. As for the story, it just doesn’t click.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
