Brisson has created a worthy entry to the Age of X-Man theme. With amazing art from Marcus To and vibrant colors from Jason Keith, this book will leave you talking and may finally win you over to the Age of X-Man series! Read Full Review

The Age of X-Man is now in its third week. One of the big challenges moving forward is going to lie in keeping each of the titles distinct and integral to the overall structure of the event. If anything feels at all like its not totally necessary for the development of the world as a whole, the integrity of the whole 32-part event might start to falter. With the first issue of NextGen, Brisson cleverly lays the foundations for a coming-of-age in a world of mutant social integration. Read Full Review

Next Gen was one of the series in this event that I was the most excited for and it sure didn't disappoint. If you are like me and really enjoy the young x-men stories then this is definitely one you should pick up and read. Read Full Review

Count this as another win for the "Age of X-Man" event. Read Full Review

Speaking as a guy who doesn't usually read X-Men books, I can't get enough of Age of X-Man. This issue continues that unnerving mystery while delivering new details about the world that should draw even casual readers in. This comic is a reminder big shakeups in comics can be a very good thing. Read Full Review

Ed Brisson and Marcus To perfectly tap into the AGE OF X-MAN landscape that Thompson/Nadler have laid out. ALL HAIL GLOB HERMAN, MUTANT HERO. Read Full Review

If you wanted to read just this and ignore the rest of the event, you'll probably be a little lost. Still, "Age Of X-Man: NextGen" #1 manages to be one of the strongest releases of this event so far. Read Full Review

NextGen is another solid entry for the Age of X-Man event. The structure may feel familiar for those who've read the event's previous issues, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Read Full Review

While consistent in message and theme with other 'Age of X-Man' releases, NextGen #01 isn't exactly of the same quality. The definition is somewhat lacking, there's not enough distinction. Besides familiar feeling events, separate this book from one that could be occurring in the Marvel Universe proper. What Brisson does well is make the interactions feel real. The story's underlying strength is the bond the principle X-men hopefuls share. After two very potent issues, NextGen felt like a bit of a breather and remains a worthwhile read with or without the other Age of X-Man titles. Read Full Review

Your mileage with Nextgen will vary, as the trappings of it will feel very familiar and Brisson doesn't reveal all that much about the world beyond that. To isn't a terrible fit for the book, but his work doesn't elevate the script and he doesn't have any standout moments. (Though I don't think I've seen quite so many accurate depictions of chickens in an X-book before.) Brisson does ensure that this title syncs up with the rest of the event in a neat way, but it feels like there should be a little more meat on this narrative bone. Your enjoyment of Age of X-Man: Nextgen will hinge mostly on how much you like Glob Herman and how patient you're willing to be. Read Full Review

I feared a little this short story. But I'm happy that gob have finally his time to shine.
I also love Armor so I'm very interested in this story.

Cover - Bachalo rule ! 2/2
Writing - Brisson take the time to present this new versions of the scholl in the Age of X-man reality. I love the idea of the four principals carrer path. 3/3
Arts - Il love Marcu To even if many panel don't have Background. I also find that some inking are to dark and didn't give Marcus art a favor. 2.5/3
Feeling - I will follow this with interest. 2/2

Late on this book but I'm a sucker for school stuff with the X-Men. Big ups.

Great first issue!

The standard current crop of X-students illuminates life at the Summers Institute: simplistic curricula, utopian outlook, dystopian secrets. It's the most effective vehicle yet for exploring X-Man's AU. The plot is engaging and the character work is sound, but it does rely on the reader arriving well-caught-up on X-students and the Age of X-Man event. It doesn't stand on its own two legs, but as a part of a wider tapestry, it's very good.

I enjoyed this first issue. It was pretty neat how it fits with Marvelous X-Men and X-Men Disassembled. I really like Glob so I was very okay with a slower issue focused on this poor, poor dude.

This was pretty interesting, I like the world and the characters, so I’m excited to see where it all goes.

Art was great and story was solid! Just wish because these aren't very popular characters, they tell more on what they do. Unfortunately this story felt a bit predictable but still I am interested in the next issue.
