May 31, 2017Generation X #2 was a taste of what this cast of characters can come to expect from the new Xavier Institute. This issue made the statement that things are going to work differently with the students and they backed this up from the way they approached handling the Purifiers to how Jubilee explained all of this to the students.

Jun 01, 2017This is a series that brings a lot of new faces to an old team of heroes that we know and love. Xavier's legacy lives on in this new generation of mutants. So far, they're not acting like a cohesive unit at all, but I'm really hoping these kids can get on board with the concept of being a new X-Men team. We'll just have to keep reading to see what happens! Read Full Review

Jun 05, 2017This series is likely not what people expected it would be - it's very different to its namesake and is pretty abstract when compared to the rest of the X-lineup. When it comes to X-Men, it is particularly difficult to put together a team because every person has a different idea of what the X-Men should be. When it came to X-Men: Gold, I was struck by a tagline on an ad " "You asked for it. You got it" " as it seemed to suggest they were going with a straight superhero book because that's what was being demanded the most. That might be what people thought they wanted from the X-line, but Generation X is what never knew you needed. Read Full Review

May 31, 2017The art has highs and lows, as does the story, but this is a decent outing for a tertiary X-book trying to establish its place in the world. Read Full Review

May 31, 2017Overall I do like the concept for this book I just feel that there are x-books in the past that have done it better. Maybe now that the team is together and the learning is about to begin we will get some stories to really pull us in. But for now I'm still wondering why I should invest in this series.

Jun 03, 2017A solid, interesting premise to this new X-Comic is overshadowed by all the side material shoved in on top of it. Read Full Review

Jun 01, 2017Some teen X-Men books really shake up the formula, and others seem content to play it safe. Generation X is, sadly, shaping up to be the latter. Read Full Review

Jun 01, 2017This is nothing like the Gen X that came before it - and it didn't have to be. But readers hoping that Strain and Pinna could capture some of the outsider appeal of that title would be better served to look elsewhere. Read Full Review

The GCRN - Daniel Clark
Jun 06, 2017Amilcar Pinna art is also not doing the book any favors. Character faces look distorted at times and widely inconsistent. Being only two issues in this series can still right the ship by figuring out exactly what it wants to be. It is fine to follow a formula as long as you execute it properly. So far this is not much more than a poorer version of a better comic. Read Full Review

So happy to see this title off to a good start since This title holds a nostalgic place in my heart because I loved the 90's Gen X so much!

I'm glad you got to see that they aren't really a team yet. Quintin is still doing dumb moves and the others just don't have the abilities to take down even the Purifiers. I like Jubilee's little speech in the end and we all know there is going to be more than just everyday mundane activities. I also love the self sabotage thing she tells Quintin. The art of Pinna could be a lot more cleaner, like Jube's teeth. But overall a nice solid story!

Back to Basics. We need this in the X-Men. Seeing a school, students, teenager problems, people trying to kill them. Not much happened, maybe no the greatest story, yet it is in the right place. What i expect and love to see in an X-Men Book (after years of decay). Looking forward for more of this GenX.

Honestly, I just wanted to say that the art really threw me off in these two issues. The faces are all weird and exaggerated. Some faces even look similar and Jubilee's teeth man whoa. None of the moments I actually came to like just saw them and said: " huh, okay". Look out of the new X-titles this could have been better. Stopping here at issue #2.

The Purifiers are dispatched like the jobbers they are; Jubilee reveals that this clutch of students is the Xavier Institute's remedial vo-tech class. That's an intense disappointment to Bling and Quentin Quire, but it sounds just about perfect to newcomer Nate. I don't have fundamental objections to following low-powered mutants, but I don't like the defeatist "lower your expectations" attitude Jubilee hands them. If this doesn't turn into the story of great kids exceeding modest expectations *very* fast, it'll be a horrible waste of time and potential. Amilcar Pinna's distinctively weird art is shrinking on me rather than growing; his fisheye-lens faces appear to be a pony's single trick rather than one of many distinctive artistic tools. more
