 Hello, hello, hello, I'm Philip Magnus and today I'll be talking about Marauder's volume one from all the way back in 2019 or was it published in 2020 the run began in 2019 along with so many of Jonathan Hickman's Krakko led dawn of eggs adventures for the X-Men Anyway, let's jump into it. Marauder's volume one by Duggan Katrin, Kitty or Kate Bride in this case as she likes to be called and Emma Frost at two of my absolute favorite X-Men The mere suspicion that they might take center stage is invitation enough to pick this hardcover up That their relationship is one of the driving forces behind this book is well chef's kiss Kitty Oh, and I quote call me Kate Pride has a problem Whereas every other mutant can pass through the gates leading to the mutant homeland of Krakowa cheek and art It all has to do with Kate's fading abilities, which apparently come into conflict with Krakowa It's self a living entity with a bizarre mutant biology It's also an island obviously That means that Kate is the only mutant confined to your old fashioned means of transportation and not too happy about it Enter Emma Frost offering Kate a unique opportunity what follows is drunkenness frustration and Very welcome heroics before I knew it. I was staring down on this gorgeous piece of Kate embracing a new position and persona Look at that outfit. It's I might just die That's not to say that Kate isn't having a really hard time She is she used to be the mistress of the Xavier or was it Jean Grey school for mutants She went to space to be star-lord for a hot minute. What was that about? She was dating Peter Quill. What was that about in her wedding with fellow X-man? Colossus ended up collapsing in what I would like into a wildfire at an oil factory She's a little unmoved. Don't ask me how it's a wildfire at an oil factory There was a forest next to the oil factory and it's called you get what I'm saying, right? It called fire and that's how you know, okay She's a little mood quite angry and in the finest form. I've seen her in nearly a decade That's to say props on Duggan for writing her Masterfully Marauders is an X-man book to the shortened curlies brimming. That's that's something people say brimming with heroics and conniving plots the secondary villains Hominis Verrendi hold no candle to a devious black king But he more than makes up for it. The volume concludes with Sebastian Shaw overjoyed in the face of his Accomplishment Considering the nature of that accomplishment the expression drawn by series main artist Mattel Lolley Gains a grotesque dimension. It's an amazing sixth issue a triumph for a True villain Moreover, it's done in such a way that sets my hatred for this fictional character a blaze Duggan is a master of the cliffhanger overall half the issues in this first volume of the Marauders left me Grasping for more and all too happy to have grabbed the hardcover which has within The first 12 issues of this series following Johnston Hickman's departure from the X-line of cockbooks in 2021 Duggan is the author that picks up the flagship X-men title based on this first volume. I believe he'll leave his own mark and share enough Johnston Hickman's shoes are Pretty hefty. I imagine them as these very hefty boots not even normal shoes boots to fill. Oh But I haven't even touched on Emma Frost or for that matter on the rest of the team I suppose you will have to return for my review of the second volume now, won't you? if you'd enjoy issue by issue breakdowns of Each of the issues in this first volume from one to six I have those as a bonus a sort of behind-the-scenes thing on my blog and also on my Goodreads account and Yeah, I think that's that's not if you enjoyed this video Please share it with your friends.
