Book Reviews of Astonishing X-Men, Vol. 3: Torn
Book Review: A Growing Complexity
Summary: 5 Stars
Vol.3 is astonishingly different from 1&2. The previous two had simpler plots and defined characters. This time its no-holds-barred for Joss Whedon. Torn dives deep and far taking us to places we never thought we'd see the series go.
A good portion of the volume is quite confusing at times. Since it involves a lot of psychic interference, it makes sense to complicate the reading, because the characters become totally entangled in a "hypnotic state", if you will. Some parts will seem bizarre and hard to swallow but as time goes on it will reveal itself to be quite plausible. It reminds me of a really tough math problem that baffles you instantly, but after you analyze it becomes intelligently beautiful. Joss Whedon can not only write a smart story like this, but he can form it with cinematic elements. I love that it feels like an awesome movie page for page. Aside from that he always has something incredible up his sleeve. I fell in love with this book for the journeys that our heroes go to. Trust me you will be laughing and gasping as you see what Wolvie, Beast, and Cyclops go through. Joss Whedon writes the characters the way I want them to be written. Nuff Said!
