Like the slow descent of the dupes in 'Multiplicity'? [Wink]

Paul O'Brien's review: http://thexaxis.com/minis/madrox3.htm

But if you can't be bothered reading the whole thing, the sum-up is:

I'll have to give a "ditto" to Paul's review.

********SPOILERS for #4************

Poor Steve Buscemi, I mean whateverhisname was. It's practically par for the course that the "dame" betrays the gumshoe, but she appears to have a disturbing mutation/means of attack (too bad we couldn't see it "full frontal").

I was a tad disappointed that the "evil" dupe had just been created - it seemed to me like he had been there awhile. I'm still not sure how plausible it is that he was able to convince the bad guy that he was on his side so quickly.

The new enhancement to Jamie's powers is interesting and makes him a bit more formidable - it's also a disturbing visual. Good to know that his "life lessons" pay off in interesting ways. I can see this being an ongoing if David keeps using Madrox in such interesting ways.

The Rahne subplot just seems tacked on at the moment - I hope it ties in somehow. I wouldn't mind it in a series but in a mini, it seems like fat that could've been trimmed.

Haven't read #4 yet, but I have to say I'm loving this series. I came on late, but read 1-3 the other night and really enjoyed them. B/t this and Fallen Angel, it looks like PAD is getting back to his writing best. This is the most likeable I've ever seen the Madrox character.

And since I saw mention of New X-Men Academy, let me reiterate: BUY IT! It's one of Marvel's best books right now!

Madrox is such a great series! Imaginative uses of Jamie's powers, perfect comic noir tone, five thumbs up. Buy it, everyone, buy it!

Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

I never did pick up this series. Is the TPB a full collection?

Yeah, Scoot. It collects the full five-issue mini.

Worth a look if you get the opportunity.

You might notice an odd resemblence to Triplicate Girl -- just remember this series came out before Lu's new origin...

You were the first person I thought of when I saw the trade listed in this week's releases, FC. [Smile]

I didn't see any posts from you, looking back through this thread... So this will be completely new for you then? You didn't check out any of the miniseries prior to this? You're in for a fun read! I'm almost jealous... this story probably works better when read in one sitting. [Yes]

I decided not to spend the money on another TPB (blew too much on my PSP this week) so I acquired the mini by other means. I'll probably read it this weekend.

You know, I don't think I ever bought and read issue #5. WTF? I'll have to look for it this weekend.
