The team figures out the truth about Sheldon Xenos' true identity, and EMMA FROST has to go somewhere she really, really doesn't want to go - deep inside the mind of one of her worst enemies, SINISTER!
RATED T+
Eve Ewing does another fantastic job at keeping the energy up throughout the story, making it an absolute blast of a read. I really enjoy seeing the younger mutants, namely Melee and Bronze, come into their own as heroes, especially when their friend is in danger. Read Full Review
For fans who've been wondering when Emma Frost and Kate Pryde's new class of students would get out there and earn the name "X-Men," Exceptional X-Men #9 is that first taste of what's to come. Sinister's larger schemes at Verate haven't been thwarted yet, but a little trust and teamwork gets these new X-Men safely through their first showdown with a genuine supervillain. Tune in for a fun fight, some decent developments, and a final twist that the climax of this arc is still to come! Read Full Review
A frantic, overpopulated and underchoreographed superhero fight just kinda mashes everything up. Read Full Review
I wanted more action for this team, but I take it back. Eve Ewing can’t write action scenes. This issue was boring, stupid and utterly painful to read. Usually I would take the excellent art into account, but action doesn’t seem to be Carmen Carnero’s forte either. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but please go back to telling slice-of-life stories. They weren’t the X-Men stories l wanted, but at least they worked.
