With even the grandest of intentions, Fallen Angels #4 struggles to overcome particularly weak visuals as it expands on the origins and motivations of Apoth and what that means for the future of Psylocke. Read Full Review

Readers, this issue is unequivocally better than the last. However, with the utterly confusing plot that appears to be jumping from issue to issue, as well as the poor portrayal and indiscernible character voices between the two female leads, this story continues to leave this reviewer at a loss each and every issue. If youre searching for an X-Book, this isnt the one to dive into or get your feet wet. Read Full Review

I still hold out some hope that Fallen Angels will wrap up on aconclusion that elevates the rest of the series from its admittedly lowbar. The characters here still have a lot of value and while therehasn't been a ton done with them, these feel like experiences thatanother writer can carry into more interesting stories. But this issuedoesn't do much for what's already been a very lackluster series as a whole. Read Full Review

This is, unfortunately, an incredibly confusing series. It's clouded in so much shadow and vagueries you'll find yourself frustrated as you sift through its overly self profound approach. I'm certain there's an interesting idea in there, but it's being rendered in such a way that we're seeing it through cloudy goggles with no clarity in sight. Read Full Review

This book started out strong, but it seems were' going in the wrong direction, and here's hoping things get back on track next issue. Read Full Review

I liked learning more about Apoth and it's weird obsession with Kwannon. As per usual with Fallen Angels, Kwannon and Laura have pretty good team chemistry while I'm still not sure what Cable's doing in this series.

I mean the writing was more compelling than previous issues, but this art is NOT for me...

This was certainly better than issue three, but still not very good. At least now the plot seems less jumbled, the motivations are clear, and there's a straight line to follow.

We had a few issues where nothing happens, then once the stuff starts to move forward, it's even worse. If this wasn't (seemingly) ending in a couple issues I would probably drop it right now.

Prelude:
Fallen Angels has been my least favourite Dawn of X story. Let's see how this issue goes.

The Good:
I do like the theme behind this issue and series.

The Bad:
Art is still poor.

Characterisation is still off.

Apoth isn't working for me.

Infographics are boring.

Bit of a chore to read.

Conclusion:
A bit of a nothing issue despite so much moving forward. I do like the theme but pretty much everything else here falls short.

These series screams dollar bin!! Much like the mental state of our heros of the title this issue is filled with nothing but confusion and lost causes. I now have no idea if X23 or Psylock is talking half the time. Characters are shadowed so darkly its often hard to point out who is who or what is even happening, and then to toss in dialogue that is beginning to sound indistinguishable. Its just bad and takes the reader out of the story far too often...Story had so much potential at first but all is lost now. Apoth killing children is the only thing with weight at this point and its a cheap trick. The invisible antagonist of this series is probably its strongest talking point other than the unpalatable artwork. The artist is destroying Hills already fragile idea of a story and is tampering with whatever hopes it has of making sense. more

Art is still bad. Plot is… I mean, it’s certainly happening, Apoth bless.

Black black black black backgrounds black.

Kiwanna yells at x23 for not being a good enough pet for and dr Manhattan is in marvel now....... also a box with colors and cable is now less proactive as princess peach I dont have enough of the drugs to understand what is going on.

Now this series stands revealed as what it is: Poor portrayals (in words and art) of three mutants that deserve far better, shoehorned around the edges of a clichéd "rampant AI" cyberpunk story. It's all been done before, even the Oedipal connection. Apoth's plan to cyber-evolve humanity is familiar from -- among many other stories -- past Hickman comics, including Powers of X. The difference is, Mr. Hickman can tell these stories with compelling wonder and without (much) character assassination.

THE GOOD:

-The writing was better here. It’s still uber-pretentious, but it’s not as insufferable as it was last issue.

-The imagery’s still interesting at the least. It’s unfortunate the art butchers the only real highlight of this comic.

THE BAD:

-Sigh. I hate this series.

-The art. I’ve you’ve heard something about it, it’s probably right.

-You just cannot get me to give any sort of shits about these characters.

-I don’t care about this story.

-I don’t care what’s happening next. I’m done. I’ll still read it, but I’m on my last leg with this one.

Incredibly confusing. Horrible character writing. Bad art. Slow pace. Kwannon is an absolute jerk to Laura. Laura is written so out of character so much so that she is unrecognizable. Why is Cable even in this.
