LOL WTF WAS THIS HOT MESS

I'm not sure I can even properly review this. I ended up skimming the last few issues because I hated it so much. The plot is nonsensical. The writing is awful. Psylocke's backstory is convoluted enough without whatever the fuck Bryan Hill was trying to do here. I have no idea what the story was doing with X-23 and Cable.

And apparently this is called Fallen Angels because...Krakoa is heaven and they don't feel like they belong, or that all the safety Krakoa promises feels like a lie to them. Because they're all dark angsty killers. Okay LOL.

I'm not even going to try to touch on the art. It's mostly close ups and everything is shaded in blackest black because the artist sucks at faces. And limbs. And details in anything that isn't an extreme close up of just eyes or just lips.





God, this was trash. The terribly low Goodreads rating makes sense now.
