broke ass 😂
This should be a 1/10. The only reason to read this book is to read the end of a rotting era. Likely the worst era X-men has ever had to date.
Key Stupidity from this issue:
1)The entire argument against the X-Men is that they are invading Aliens. Ok that is stupid on its face. They are clearly not. They come from humans its not like they are working with an invasive alien species more

THE EXPERIMENT ENDS? Year 1 was the start of the experiment. By Year 10, it was filling a petri dish. By Year 100, it had cracked the glass and spread across the desk. Now it's been 1000 years, and the lab is filled by the writhing, pulsing sins of sinister and all the lab staff have been devoured. Everyone is in hell. The upside: this includes Sin...
Dialogue is great but not a fan of how little action and drawn out this series has gotten.
Cutter's arrival makes saving Tribulation an even more desperate task for Erica, but it's do or die, because she's the only one who can keep Gabi safe!
And even if she can save the town and make it out alive, she's still a rogue hunter, and the Order isn't known for their mercy...
Felt short cause I was so hooked! Percy sure has his moments

Just like the last series, starts out promising but we're left with a rushed open-ended final issue.
CREED VS. CREED! The EXILES are exiled, and it's down to CREED VS. CREED - mano a mano, claw to claw and one of this year's BIGGEST SURPRISES in X-canon!

The perfect cherry on top of Lemire's Animal Man and Snyder/Soule's Swamp Thing.
One former avatar wasn't enough to take down the savage champion the Green created to wipe out the last of humanity...so another avatar will have to do what Alec Holland couldn't! It's time to unleash the Animal Woman!
This event is not for casuals. This is like the Game of thrones X-men edition. Really appreciate what they're doing. The story of the nightcrawlers trying to break from Sinisters gene and live happy lives hit hard.

Alec Holland has been summoned back to the land of the living by the decrepit John Constantine himself, which is quite the surprise to the Parliament of Trees. In exchange for a peaceful eternity within the Green, Alec was to stay out of their affairs. With lives at risk, Alec refuses, but his conviction comes at a cost: if Alec dies in this stolen...
Very nice to see consistent art and writers throughout these X-Titles. Let's all thank Al Ewing for giving us the Storm that Clairemont started.

No, it's just ironic to see our hobby come to this but we refuse to change; troll comments like yours don't make it easier or fun.
Lmao I don't think you know what trolling is. You're giving someone's work a negative rating because you're broke, it is what it is my friend.
Pretty epic. If nothing else, it’s not a comic I’ve read before. Looking forward to more.

That reveal! Trying to decipher if that was Hickman’s plan all along or it came to be recently.
SWEET DREAMS AREN'T MADE OF THIS! Charles Xavier always had a dream...but one man's dream is another's nightmare. This one will make you wish you could wake up screaming.
I can get on board with that, the ending definitely felt anti-climactic. I loved the event more for what they did (Uranos vs Arrako, Magneto's end, the Eternals resurrection twist, and people's perspectives throughout the story). I did wish all the deaths from the judgment weren't reversed and all canon comics existed in a newly scorched earth status quo.
That would be really cool if there were actual ramifications going forward
What a tweeeest!

THIS IS SO PERFECT. "Essex-Men"! The gleeful twist with Mystique's past! "I'll never be on the same side as you." The big sapphic romance! "and yes, I DO love that"! Listen, I'm down for comics about perfect people with happy lives smiling at Pride parades, but this is the kind of LGBT content I really crave. Just hook this passionate, ridiculous gay shit right up to my veins

Honestly it was because I am not modern X-Men reader. I popped in to see what the end of this wretched era looks like and to my disgust it was just as bad as most of the rest of this era that I have skipped. So I feel like my review might be a bit of a different perspective. Most of my reviews are of book lines I am invested in/actively reading. That being said, if people think I should actively score this, I can.
I respect the fact that you didn't give it a score. Regardless of whether you have been following this era, quality is quality and ever since Hickman's departure, the quality has been dipping. It's a bummer.
