Marvel Age Emma Frost Volume 2: Mind Games Digest (Manga Emma Frost)

Rating:
Summary: Dangerous "GAMES".
Review: Recap: Emma Frost has walked out on her troublesome family and is now striking out on her own. Unfortunatly without any of her familys money and trying to develop her erratic mental powers. Emma becomes romantically entangled with a guy who owes money to some loan sharks who are more than willing to expand on thier list of crimes. Will Emma be able to tak care of herself out in the big bad world?? The writing is still good if unoriginal and the story is a lot simpler than the previous installment. The art slightly worse than in the previous chapter, but it is not by any means bad, just...different. SPOILER: in the end Emma uses her mental powers to make her captors believe they are killing each other with guns but they really aren't?? What?? it didn't make sense, why if they didn't suffer any trauma why would they lose conciousness and "die"? Oh well, Mind games is overall a light fun read. EP

Summary: Slow second story arc...
Review: The second story arc of Emma Frost, covering issues 7-12, is much slower and unexciting compared to the first.

The story is very cliched and you can guess what happens before you turn the page. Its a run of the mill love story with a twist. You can find those anywhere, and most are better written than what youll find in this book.

The art is still wonderful though its not as good as Randy Greens in the first few issues.
So if youre a fan of Emma than pick this up. If not, you should probably stay clear of it.

However, the third and final arc, issues 13-18, picks up where the first let off and its a major improvement over Mind Games.
