Comic Watch - Andrew Taylor
Sep 13, 2018A lot of X-Men exposition in this issue that lets us know the Reavers are not teamed up with O*N*E willingly. Alex tries to protect the others from his problem but fails as usual and they are somehow easily captured as more of a convenient plot point than a logical battle end result. Alex and Warpath with their Reavers bedfellows will now have to tackle O*N*E to release their buddies and boss respectively. Read Full Review

Sep 05, 2018This is one of the most well written comics today. Every decision is in line with what has been happening and no one acts out of character. Read Full Review

Sep 05, 2018ASTONISHING X-MEN #15 finds its success in the development of its lead "X-Man." Through that development, the stage has been masterfully set for what lies ahead in this solid run. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Sep 12, 2018Astonishing X-Men #15 is another successful entry in Matt Rosenbergs continued rehabilitation of the the book, after Charles Soules disastrous run. The book would benefit from a better art team, but Rosenberg is able to make it all work by telling an intriguing story and using the great characters he has in interesting ways. Read Full Review

Sep 05, 2018The dialogue, the tone, the plot are all there for an exciting and unusual X-Men series, but without the visuals to match it continues to feel half-baked. Read Full Review

Havok's X-Team has a momentary fall-apart, we spend a little too much time with the antagonists, and Alex and Jimmy have a pretty good touchy-feely conversation. The plot is pointed in a promising direction, but this issue's pace is off and the art takes a turn for the worse. Above and beyond my entrenched distaste for this artist's character-drawing style, I would contend that this issue has significant weaknesses in its page and panel layouts.

THE GOOD: -The best part for me was the art. Greg Land captures the characters perfectly. -The action sequences were well done, mostly due to the art, but the setup and writing helped a little. THE BAD: -This issue's just too average. Not enough stands out for me. It's one I'l forget in far too short of a time. -The falling out of Havok and the rest of the Not-X-Men wasn't enough for me. The emotion and drama weren't in full play and it just happened too quickly, plus it set up a cliched sit down at a bar table motivation speech. -The end wasn't doing it either. Either Havok's character development was pointless or it turns into a predictable trick the villain by siding with them play. There's no way it works out.
