not as strong - Rated
Following on from the end of the rise and fall of the shi'ar empire, it's a bit of a stop gap to be honest. The story doesn't expand too much from what we already know but it does cement vulcan as the one true emporer of the empire. Rather than have a straight fight between the new starjammers and the shi'ar, we are introduced to a new alien race with ties to the empire itself. This was a weak plot device which added nothing to the overall confrontation between the two sides and serves no real purpose. Whilst the story and art are not as solid as the rise and fall, it certainly is passable but it seems as this serves as a bridge to the upcoming war of kings. For the sake of keeping up to speed with developments of the shi'ar empire this book is worth reading but is hardly essential. Despite what may seem like a negative review, i was happy to spend a couple of quid on this and i've read a lot worse.
Good read for Shi'ar fans - Rated
I quite enjoyed this book. It follows on from Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire but also has a new storyline with the Shi'ar which gives good insight on how the Shi'ar is run. Also Havok, Polaris and Marvel Girl, being some of my favourite x-men, show good character developments and work well together as the new Starjammers. Vulcan also seems to be becoming a more interesting villain. The end doesn't neatly conclude everything like some people hoped, but I found it more satisfying and realistic than the neat tied together endings books usually have and wouldn't mind forking out for a follow up mini. If you enjoyed the Rise and Fall of Shi'ar empire you should enjoy this.
This follows on from the rise and fall of the shi'ar empire and deadly genesis. - Rated
Sadly it isn't as good as either, Chris Yost has a fair story to tell and elements are well thought out but the script leaves a little to be desired and ultimately the whole story feels a little pointless. It doesn't end this saga, it is merely another chapter in a saga that doesn't want to end, and this feels like a middle chapter that is waiting to be finished.
The art is okay, nothing special but between penciller inker and colourist the end result is solid enough.
