The pacing is a bit on the slow side, but Foxe is still nailing that horror-tinged narration, and there's enough weird going on here to want to keep reading. Read Full Review

From what I've read thus far, it feels like a good chunk of the miniseries from Fall of X have a lot of potential that's not fully capitalized on. This was solid and not bad by any means, but I just wish I was getting more from a book featuring Madelyne Pryor, Havok, Gambit, and Archangel. I even like the relatively new character, Feint. I just wish everything here came together nicer.

These Fall of X minis are so haphazard.

After an encouraging first issue that was by no means perfect, these last two issues of Steve Foxe’s Dark X-Men haven’t lived up to the promise of the debut, nor the excitement I had when the series was first announced. Foxe appears to be succumbing to too many storylines and too many characters to handle within a five-issue limited series that leaves readers with much meat on the bone to enjoy unless you’re a hardcore fan of certain niche characters, in which case you’re ecstatic to see them getting some page-time. It’s a shame that Madelyne is getting the short-end of the stick yet again, though she’s not the only one getting a disservice in the various “Fall of X” limited series.
