The mysterious freighter has arrived in
Chicago and its ‘crew’ is unleashing hell on the Windy City. The vessel has issued
a ‘kill all mutants” directive to its robotic enforcers. However, a flaw in the
ship’s programming has deemed all citizens a possible mutant threat and now
nobody is safe from its wrath.
Meanwhile,
Kitty Pryde is considered the number one suspect in the bombing of the
university physics lab. Now she’s got to put a stop to the anti-mutant hate
group that’s targeting mutants on campus while shaking off FBI agents who might
discover her mutant abilities. But it’s not going to be easy with this new
threat stalking Chicago’s streets.
It
took a while and I mean a good long while, but this series finally got good. I
like Kitty’s angst and her clever methods of throwing the agents tailing her
off track was really cool. There’s still an element of soap opera or 90210 in
this series but I think with this robotic threat starting to play a major role,
some of that’s going to take a back seat ( I hope!) The art’s not all that
great but a good story can make up for that and Mekanix is finally living up to
it’s potential.
Still,
nobody named ‘Mekanix’ in this series!
