No more mutants.The Scarlet Witch alters reality and transforms Earth into a mutant utopia, where humans are in the minority. By granting every mutant their wish, she gets to keep what is most precious to her: her children.
The art style was fun, but the reading experience of this event, due to all the tie-ins with seemingly very little relevance, was at times exhausting. I adore Scarlet Witch as a character, and this issue is integral to X-men history but oof. (Can't wait to see how/if it ties into the MCU/MoM in any way, shape or form).
Una de las obras mas importantes de la década de los 2000s y el lanzamiento al estrellato de Olivier Coipel, uno de los mejores artistas de la actualidad.
Cada dia amo mas a mis hermosos x-men, pero con ese final sin tie-ins me volveria puta. Demasiado abierto! Es hora de leer el resto.
Love it! Love that Wanda gets to show how truly terrifying her powers can be and how each action she took reverberates through the whole marvel universe, from X-Men to Avengers to each individual hero.
Messier and more bloated than I remember, but “The House of M” is still an exciting read. Definitely pick it up if you’re jonesin’ for a great story and want to understand the inspiration for Wandavision.
Both Marvel and DC have big problems putting out event comics. They often feel too long or too short to tell the story that the creator envisioned. Often, they have to account for so many extraneous characters that it's hard to keep track of what's going on: see Secret Invasion, see Final Crisis, see Flashpoint, see Seige. In House Of M, Bendis finds a way to balance the scope of the story so that we focus on a core group of characters, while also seeing that all the other characters are involved, but they're not required to follow the story.
The problem with House Of M is that it feels too short, which is pretty rare for an event comic. The first two and final two issues are paced perfectly, but the middle four read more like a highlight reel or an outline than a Brian Michael Bendis story. The plot points themselves are marvelous, and perfectly set up the inevitable conclusion to issue seven, and the fallout in issue eight. But without proper breathing room, it's hard to really care for the characters, who are all having to process some major trauma, even for superheroes.
Coipel's art is exquisite on this (though the covers are totally tone-deaf to the interior art). It's like a more restrained Chris Bachalo.
If this were maybe ten issues, I think it would have been perfect.

Quick, entertaining read. Lots of set up, great payoff. And the ending leaves the Marvel universe open for some great exploring.
