DOMINO X MEN FULL

The narrative benefits from a noir style narration that provides key insight into the mind of Domino, displaying just how cunning and intelligent she is. The modern art in these four issues ditches the hyper-sexualized character models for a more realistic Domino that doesn’t look ripped from a 14 year-old’s spank bank. But, hey, it was the nineties… who wasn’t?” This series also plays up her luck mutation much more than the earlier ones while even taking shots at 90’s X-Men books as Domino says “A few years ago I was heading up a mutant strike force.

Fans of the modern incarnation of the character will recognize this iteration of Neena Thurman much more than the 90’s stories as she is a full blown merc with a cheeky sense of humor. Jumping ahead six years, the trade follows with another Domino mini-series, this time a four issue story that’s a massive step up in overall quality, but still shows its age. The dialogue may be damn cheesy, but it still manages to create a heartfelt and tragic story explaining why Domino is so brash and closed off later in her career. There are some painfully funny lines in this mini series, like “domi-NOBODY,” “geek-o,” and even an appearance by the hysterically named “mandroids.”ĭespite it’s adherence to contemporary comic book stereotypes, these three-issues succeed in laying a foundation of passion within Domino, showing just how far she will go to save someone she loves. All the 90’s comic book tropes are on full display here- scantily clad female leads with massive breasts and butts, mundane plots, poor dialogue, female characters quickly jumping into bed with male counterparts, and middle school level humor. Thankfully, the trade moves quickly into Domino’s first solo outing with her 1997 mini series Domino, but this series exemplifies exactly why the comic industry struggled in the mid 90’s.

Big bewbs, butts, and shoulder pads! Hell yeah, 1995!
