NYX: The Complete Collection by Joshua Middleton, Robert Teranishi, Marjorie Liu, Kalman Andrasofszky, Joe Quesada, Sara Pichelli

3.0

This is a lot darker than most of the other comics I've read so far, especially as far as superheroes go. It kind of also felt a lot more grounded even though some of the characters have pretty crazy powers. Even though Laura Kinney (X-23) is on the cover of this collection she clearly is not the main character of the series, she actually does not even show up in the second half for some reason. Kiden and her friends have to deal with a lot of terrible stuff and this comic is very obviously not meant for younger readers but even though I usually prefer kind of lighter, funnier stories I still quite enjoyed this one, the first half more so than the second. The characters were really interesting and I liked that it dealt with the fact that being a mutant can be really dangerous in this world... Still I also had some issues with it, for example some of the mature content just did not seem necessary and it kind of got quite confusing in the second half. I also preferred the art from the first series to the second one.
