Good summation of the whole event so far.
THE AGE OF X-MAN CONTINUES!
The X-Men will protect you. The X-Men will keep you safe. The world is a good place, and the X-Men will make sure it remains good. The X-Men will not break. The X-Men will not fall apart. The X-Men will protect...right?
Rated T+
Marco Faillas art is beautifully detailed and all the characters look great. Hopefully, there will be some conflict in future issues that will give Failla the ability to do more visually. Read Full Review
In terms of both the story and panel-after-panel of beautiful art, this is an issue to read at once, in a breathless, admiring rush, before revisiting again and again to chew on all the meaty bits. This is an astonishing piece of work. Read Full Review
All in all, AGE OF X-MAN: THE MARVELOUS X-MEN #3 did not disappoint. Unfortunately, it also didn't impress. This issue really needed to push the entire storyline into something new and exciting. Instead, Nadler and Thompson chose to focus on characterization over significant changes in plot. Storm and Magneto's characterization is close to perfect, but it doesn't make up for the slow pacing.

As X-Man's control is wavering, Nadler and Thompson are honing in on the things that make the X-Men the X-Men and that's a strong choice. Read Full Review
Overall this is still one of the better series in Age of X-Man. It may seem a little slow moving at times but the story is still really engaging and I'm excited to see what comes next. Read Full Review
Marvelous X-Men, and perhaps the "Age of X-Man" concept, feels like it's running out of steam. Read Full Review
A lot is going on in this issue, but not enough of it feels consequential enough to have any real impact. The aerial conflict between Magneto and Storm and X-Man really should have had an explosive intensity about it as it is one of the few scenes in the series thus far that really speak to the central themes of the Age of X-Man. Too bad it feels so uninspired. Read Full Review
pretty good. really dramatic.
THE GOOD:
-I'm still intrigued by the Age of X-Man, even if its starting to go downhill.
-This issue had some really good character interactions.
-I liked Storm quite a bit this issue. Strong character work from Nadler and Thompson.
-It's nice to see Nate as a character in this whole Age of X-Man thing. He's been kind of in the shadows since Alpha.
-We've seen these "memories" before, but this issue just executed them so well.
-This issue had a solid ending.
THE BAD:
-The art was just really bland.
-This issue also got really wordy at some parts.
Overall, I enjoyed this issue. I think things are just moving way too slow here. Not enough is happening to hold my interest and the world itself is becoming less and less interesting the more we see it.
A bit slow and the shine is starting to wear off, maybe there will be more as things get to really unraveling?
