I am patiently awaiting to see what Mr Sinister is up to. The character was written with so much finesse, under Kieron's Gillen's pen, and the finale of his run set up his intrigue so perfectly. The Sinister / Scott Summer's conflict really hit its peak there , as Sinisterbecame the Red Skull of sorts to Summers' Steve rogers, perfect rivals. Now with the elder Scott Summer's allegedly dead, and mutants on the fast track to extinction, Sinister is no doubt bound to exact some extreme measures to procure and exploit what can be considered is favourite raw (and limited) resource, mutantkind. I had my reservations initially but I can say honestly I am very hooked by this new status quo with the added benefit of the tone hearkening back to that traditional X-Book feel and sentiment that I have missed.

While EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN #3 may have its issues when it comes to the plot, as well as the characterization of one of its most important characters, it offers superb art, a believable dialogue, and thrilling action with many, many details to fall in love with for X-Men fans! Read Full Review
There's been some fear that the X-Men would slowly be faded away into limbo by Marvel. While the Limbo part is kind of true, we're seeing a pretty strong start to this series courtesy of Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos. Things may be pretty dire for the mutants but that isn't really anything new. This issue is packed with big action scenes mixed with a heartfelt conversation during the strange meeting of young Jean Grey and Old Man Logan. I'm digging this series more and more with each issue and can't wait to see what's coming next. Read Full Review
Pleasingly, Extraordinary X-Men seems to be beginning to find its feet as we progress and might just be able to course correct by the climax of this first arc into a confident little series that might deal face-first with the franchise's Inhumans debacle. (On the other hand, Cerebra could just keep shooting one-liners and I'd be fairly content.) Read Full Review
Maybe it'd be a better idea if they were made of ice? Come on man! Ice is sooo much stronger than snow! Read Full Review
But overall, I enjoyed the book and look forwarding to seeing the whole new team in action together next issue. Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire is a nuanced, powerful writer so it's hard to be believe that this book will continue to flounder for long, but for now it's hard to grasp what this book's goal is. Read Full Review
This series still hasnt quite found its legs, and, truth be told, it has not been that exciting either. Jeff Lemire better turn out a great issue soon or else fans may flock to Uncanny X-Men. The art has been fine so far, but it would benefit from a little more consistency in some areas. Extraordinary X-Men, so far,has not been that extraordinary. Read Full Review
I don't know why all the hate. I'm loving this series. Maybe I'm attached with the characters or maybe I just like all the giant action scenes, but I just am digging it. Come on the heart to heart with Logan and Jean was awesome. And seeing Iceman and Storm rally made me see how these characters have come so far! I really can't wait for the next book. Ramos's art and Lemire's story is epic!
Love the discussion between Jean and Logan about fate and choice, one being from the future the other from the past. Alas, not particularly a fan of Ramos. Some good moments though. Sweet action at the end.
The issue suffers from the same pacing problems as with the previous two issues, though it also displays the same strengths of strong characterisation, and dialogue. Ramos' designs for the characters are pretty strong but his work is starting to feel really sloppy and a mismatch for the series.
Great art but boring characters and plots... I´m still waiting
I love the artwork from Ramos. But the script, yeesh. Old Wolverine and young Jean should be dead in this timeline, but they're not, how could this happen?!? Zzzzzzz......
