Fallen Angels #6 is a fitting end to a great series. This one has definitely flown under the radar, but it has been a treat the whole time. Read Full Review
Fallen Angels #6 concludes a series that may be sought after by fans of Psylocke for some time to come, but just doesn't add enough substantial weight to the Dawn of X lineup to stand out. This one is a miss. Read Full Review
Fallen Angels ends this week and it serves as a six-issue series that has plenty of ideas but doesn't know how to execute on them. I was worried this series wouldn't put a period on things since it was so vague and unsure of itself along the way. Thankfully we can put this sliver of a story to bed and move on. Psylocke fans should enjoy this issue for its message about her growth as a character, but even then it's hard to deny it feels unearned due to the ineffectiveness of this narrative. Read Full Review
Ultimately, "Conclusion" puts the final stamp of "skippable" on Fallen Angels. Outside of some Kwannon/Mr. Sinister interactions, there's nothing in here that feels like it's likely to befollowed up on elsewhere, and we didn't learn anything new aboutKwannon, Laura or Nate that added to any of them. The best thing thatcan be said about this final issue of Fallen Angels is that itfinishes the series and frees Psylocke up to move on to anchor Zeb Wells and Stephen Segovia's Hellions starting in March.

Fallen Angels ends without making much of an impression, and that's really a shame. Read Full Review
FALLEN ANGELS #6 is a disappointing ending to a disappointing series. Neither the team nor the villain ever felt fleshed out. Psylocke moped her way through the entire series, but did emerge triumphant and gain a degree of closure on her past, so thats something. Whatever the future holds for the characters in FALLEN ANGELS, it is hopefully better than what we got here. Read Full Review

well shoot I have really enjoyed this series and will really miss it but this final book was the weakest of the run in my opinion it felt very rushed
This series is so bizarre. It is in many ways out of line with the current X-Men reboot but that's kind of why I loved it. Feels like the indie film version of X-Men. There is something dark and beautiful about this title that you can't ignore. This series feels like it had something truly unique and something worth saying but the execution was so fumbled with terrible art and confusing layouts that all you're left with is the spirit of something that could have been wonderful.
Prelude:
It's the final issue of Fallen Angels until it goes onto hiatus. Let's see how it wraps up.
The Good:
Nothing.
The Bad:
Art is pretty weak.
It's boring.
Conclusion:
Unfortunately Fallen Angels #6 is what every comic fears to be. Mediocre.
This was...not a good conclusion. The writing is vague, the Fallen Angels 'team' felt pointless, Apoth ultimately was pretty easy to defeat, and this conclusion makes the whole mini-series into a big fat lot of nothing.
"Fly"
What an enormous waste of time these six issues turned out to be.
Ok, psionic wings were cool, but aside from that we got:
- boring and sluggish story.
- awful, just awful art, even worse than what Romita showed in Action Comics.
- and terribly written, pretentious characters.
I guess the universe needs balance after all. For every great issue form the Dawn of X there are Fallen Angels.
Boring series and awful art, can’t say I’d be missing it
Her team faffs around fighting goons while Psylocke defeats Apoth in a weakly-conceived, poorly-rendered showdown. She wins, of course, and learns a thing, of course, and surrenders leadership duties to X-23. This series may have had some decent ideas to play with, but it's the rare case where verbal and visual storytelling were so thoroughly incompetent that it's hard to even see what the creators were aiming for. The one trait that shines through clearly -- pretension -- is not a good one.
Just when you think this cannot get any worse. Thank fuck it's the last issue of this crap, I'm ashamed to even think that I've actually spent my money on this.
Thank god we are free.
I'm so glad this series is ending here. It is a resounding dud. This is pretentious, poorly paced, haphazardly written and badly drawn. It's just awful.
I don’t know what to write at this point. Absolutely awful
Wow... I wasn’t impressed with the first ish and waited for a sale before picking up the rest. Fallen Angels was definitely the runt of Dawn Of X litter. I’m gobsmacked. Hill is a good writer. What happened? The art was inconsistent. Is this typical of Kudranski? Something didn’t click here.
This is legitimately one of the worst-looking, most rushed, slapped-together issues I've ever read. And that's all I have to say.
