FUNNY GAMES!
The HELLIONS are at the mercy of ARCADE as they face his new psychological MURDERWORLD!
Parental Advisory
Now, even though Arcade and Sinister took center stage this issue, Wells manages to drop in some sentiment towards a variety of HELLION team members. He uses this issue as a scope inside each member and showcases the driving emotional force behind the band of misfits. Everyone assumes that many of these HELLIONS were just always $&@$. But in all reality, they had backstories, dreams, and lives before they went down that rabbit hole. So, Wells uses this opportunity to introduce readers to the cast of characters in a more personal way. John Greycrow and Psylocke are specially opened up for readers to take a deeper dive.

Hellions#10 takes a deep dive into some dark territory but the comic is all the better for it, crafting deeply personal scenes that allow for a real look inside these characters' heads. Read Full Review
Hellions #10 delivers the goods in a terrifying issue that will leave readers chilled until next month. Read Full Review
The history of body swaps, massacres, and psychosexual fantasies are often swept under the franchise's rug, but Hellions proves that the X-Men's unruly subconscious is exactly where this book wants to be. Read Full Review
Stephen Segovia delivers some great art in this issue. The characters look amazing and the action has a visceral quality to it that is perfect for the tone of the series. Read Full Review
Visually, Stephen Segovia's line work and attention to detail masterfully encompass the dark humor and ominous tone of Wells' writing. I mean, you can only take the design so seriously when you're drawing a character as inherently ridiculous as Arcade.Bottom Line: Hellions is a great dark comedy, superhero romp that deserves the FX primetime live action treatment. This issue displays how the series switches between exciting, fun and creepy all in the same 30 pages faster than most people change shirts. Read Full Review
Overall this series has been one of the best in the x-lineup and this issue is no exception. Arcade has really raised the stakes that will have ramifications on Krakoa as a whole. Read Full Review
Hellions #10 is a fine issue that plays on all of the main character's emotions. Zeb Wells continues to roll out quality work month after month. The art by Segovia and Curiel is probably some of the top work you'll find on any comic this week. Hellions continues it's hot streak in the X-line. Read Full Review
Hellions #10 works for what it is, but it could have been so much more. Wells hits all the right marks, but there was so much potential here that got left behind. Its a perfectly fine comic but nothing special. Segovias art marks everything look great, so thats one in the plus column. This is still an interesting story, but it could have been more than it is.

Another stellar issue of Hellions! I'm glad this arc is continuing. I think it would've felt too rushed to wrap it up before the 1 month break. Arcade and Sinister's interactions are great and I'm interested in seeing more of the Hellions' individual hells (though I think Havok may actually be enjoying his).
That was terrific! Hellions has really been great lately. I loved the throwback design on the cover I wish they'd do that more often with all the books
Dang they really did that.
This is my favorite X-book, without a doubt.
Zeb Wells is good...really good! Segovia and Curiel did some nice work here too!
A wonderful blend of horror and humor. I love Wells's take on the team and Sinister has yet to disappoint. Highly recommend this comic to anyone looking for a new take on a Suicide Squad.
Arcade tortures the Hellions and Sinister to chisel a prize out of the latter. It's a straightforward story shined up with a glaze of dark humor and good art. The characters wear their motivations on their sleeves, but I think that works in the comic's favor. I like the simple explanation for Arcade: He's a crazy sadist and he gets off on this. He doesn't need to be any more complicated than that, and he's scarier (much!) in his simplicity.
Now I have to care about a rapist's family? get less rapey pls x-books
