Home / X-Cellent #1 (2022)
Once again, Peter Milligan and Mike Allred bring you the most media conscious super-heroes in the Marvel Universe. More worried about building followers on social media than actually doing any good in the world, the members of X-Cellent throw up a mirror to our own celebrities’ worst and most useless habits. One of their members is even named Mirror Girl whose powers are based solely on allowing people to look at themselves. Luckily, brought back to fight them are Mr. Sensitive, Doop and the other members of X-Statix who are… not much better? Oh well, it’s all a mess of self-indulgent reality show infighting anyway, and for a comic that aims basically to show the state of celebrity today, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My biggest and really only criticism, is that there’s not enough Doop, but luckily, this is only the first issue.
