X-Men Gold #33 is one of the best issues in the series and sets-up what could be an exciting arc. Read Full Review
I think this is going to be a deeper story. One where I hope Storm sees the problems with being a careless Goddess. I hope that this story delves deeper into what it's like to be Storm, to be revered like a Goddess. Read Full Review

The result is a relatively quiet but solid chapter that moves X-Men Gold closer to its finale and whatever may be next for the X-Men. Read Full Review
Ominous plot stormclouds build over Ororo's old village, and Rachel handles the b-story by facing a tumultuous aftermath to her possession. The plot developments are promising, but the characterization leaves an awful lot to be desired. The art has very strong foundations but the finish is challenging the limits of "cleanliness" as a positive trait.
In my opinion, the writing in this issue is not deserving of the art. I quite liked the art, but the writing is just painful. It contains zero emotion which just might be a good thing to have in an issue where Storms freaking second mother dies. I think her characterization is good, which is a good thing considering there are probably only two other characters in this series have the honor of even okay characterization. I'm getting tired of Mesmero as a villain and would really like to see him leave. Besides the art, the only relief this issue brings me is that we are one issue closer to the end of the series.
