Victims has it both in spades, a great dark story with great dark artistry. It lets you take it all in and it works brilliantly.
The only thing is, it's also an X-Story and in the 90s that didn't feel as dark as both the story and the art would dictate...however, today, with the X-Stories as they are, it fits well. It's a better read in the 2010s than it was in the 1990s. It fits better in their post-Morrison run world than it had before.
It was a good story and good art then. It's Great now.
Wolverine: "Might've thought to bring a bigger car--"
Gambit: "Dunno, I find it kinda cozy."
Wolverine: "One problem solved."
Gambit: "Which is?"
Wolverine: "You won't be needin' mouth ta mouth. . ."
This is fun especially to a gay x-men fan like myself, tho unfortunately the first may get spoilt in comic by a woman being in car too. Relatively good art, tho the rendering of Gambit is too gaunt.
The major failing of this comic tho is the illogical storyline, Gambit has a mental barrier and couldn't be manipulated so fully by a "novice" telepath. Also, tho some nice eyecandy, the plot is anti-climatic in the extreme.
The story is about Gambit tracking down Wolverine, who is the #1 suspect in a series of serial murder cases in London, the latest of which was a former love of Gambit. What starts out as a so-so concept quickly descends into a bland outcome. After such stellar work on the other marvel characters they tackled together, not to mention their Batman masterpiece, The Long Halloween, it's shocking how badly they miss the mark here. None of the emotion or excitement was there, and it just left me cold with the abruptness of it all. Even Sale's artwork which I typically enjoy felt mostly rushed. For such an all star team-up of arguably the two most popular X-men, the villain, Arcade just seems silly. How about a worthy opponent next time? What a wasted opportunity, considering how much you could do with these two.
Nothing against these guys, cause when they're on, they produce some quality stuff, but this is their poorest work and felt completely phoned in.
In London, women are being murdered. Five have been killed so far. The manner in which they have been killed kindles rumors of Jack the Ripper's return. One of the victims, Alexandra Davies, was a former romance of Gambit's. When he arrives in London, he is shocked to learn that the murderer might be his friend and teammate Wolverine, who has been rapidly sinking into an animal state. Yet, things are rarely as they appear in the X-Men universe and this is no exception.
Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale do a great job of delivering a intense murder mystery, and yet at the same time, delivering some very touching character development moments.
The story is also a stand alone so it's easy access for new fans. Yet, established fans, do not fear, there's enough references to events in the X-Men's past that keep us riveted.
A brilliant book all around.
