A kid kills himself in the Danger Room after losing his ability to fly, and this death triggers the birth of the Danger Room as a sentient program with the ability to finally kill. What a great idea!

Pretty good - very classic, Claremont X-Men, but using some of themes from Grant Morrison's run, immediately preceding Whedon's. If anything this was more satisfying story-wise than the first half, wrapping things up pretty well. It was _very_ fast paced, to the point that I wasn't sure that some bits really made sense (so possibly a touch too convoluted, which can be a weakness of Whedon). I think it's worth, and would repay, a re-read. The actual, very final ending seemed a little needlessly overly-tragic. I didn't quite buy that, but whatever, that's okay. It wouldn't convert anyone to the supes, but for those who have a bit of nostalgia for some of those classic, space epic stories it hits the spot.

Este segundo volumen guionizado por Joss Whedon tarda en coger ritmo pero una vez que nuestros superheroes llegan a Breakworld la acción brilla a raudales. El final es fantástico y al igual que en el anterior volumen nos espera una de esas sorpresas a las que nos tiene tan acostumbrados Joss Whedon.

My least favorite villains are sentient machines.

Si fuera solo por las ilustraciones, se llevaba las cinco estrellas porque son MARAVILLOSA, ha habido páginas que me he quedado un rato interesante mirando. Si no se lleva las cinco es porque el anterior me parece ligeramente mejor. Pero te deja con muuucha intriga y ganas de continuar. La idea de Peligroso me ha parecido muy buena.
