X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back by Kathryn Immonen, Sara Pichelli
1.0

The title for this mini-series advertises it to be something where Pixie is fending for herself when instead she more accurately fits the damsel in distress role, which leads me to unfortunately feel a little cheated.

From a story aspect I can't tell if the comic is weird and confusing only since I haven't read much with these characters previously, or because the writing was just poor. I'm gonna go with the former and try to give it another chance later on but my current opinion is that it's... yikes.

Like the rest of this volume the ending is odd since the final panels give no closure or sense of security, which left me feeling unsatisfied upon finishing it. Unless you really like Pixie or the series happens to be a part of a more important event I don't see much of a point in bothering to read each issue at all.
