If the only things that the Murder Circus storyline accomplishes are to make the Hellfire Club’s Black Bishop into a fully rounded character, it will have been a worthwhile narrative. That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been a bumpy road. In Wolverine and the X-Men #22, the Murder Circus arc reaches its climax, but it feels like most of the team is just along for the ride.
Jason Aaron is a great writer, and I think it’s well within his ability to make Eye-Boy into a cool character. Until that point, though, every one of his appearances is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Fortunately, we have characters like Maximilian and Idie to occupy the bulk of this week’s pages. This pairing sounds like a paint-by-the-numbers odd couple on the surface, but Aaron has turned it into something that I’m interested in following.
