Rated T+
Overall, a very good issue of Extraordinary X-Men. Definitely the strongest of the current X-Men titles, and truly the "flagship" of the X-Line. This is probably the most "consistently good-to-great" book of the lot, and of the Marvel books I read is closest to the "top of the stack". Lemire appears to be truly passionate about the characters, and Ramos stylized art gives this title a unique and exciting flair. I find myself anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Read Full Review
Extraordinary X-Men #10 is definitely the strongest of the recent X-Men titles. Read Full Review
This issue is at its best when Jeff Lemire focuses on the strain Storm feels in confronting an uncertain and very grim future for her people. That's when this story has the gravitas it needs. Read Full Review
The new flagship series for one of Marvel's most beloved franchises is starting to get back on track. It's clear that Lemire has a passion for these characters as they're all spot on with their interactions with one another. It just gets bogged down by this more then likely mandated cross-over featuring a villain who hasn't appeared in X-Men books for awhile, but he's in an upcoming movie so they have to take advantage of that. Hopefully Lemire will be able to write his own stories when the cross-over is all said and done. With that said though this is still a solid issue that'll hold readers interest enough with its character development, superb artwork, and pretty stellar cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Overall, the "Apocalypse Wars" has been lackluster, and "Extraordinary X-Men" #10 doesn't do much to maintain interest in the mini-event. While the writing and art are great at times, it isn't quite enough to keep the series on people's pull list for much longer. Read Full Review
Everybody has issues. And that's what makes a great team book. Lemire adds personal struggle with a mission and it plays out well. I just don't want to see Jean going cray cray again. Ramos is on point as always too.
