Parental Advisory
Wells doesnt skimp on handing out answers this week peeps. Fans will also get a taste as to whats so different with Orphan-Maker, Nanny, and Wild Child. Heck, look no further than the middle of this issue of HELLIONS as these three mutants become favorites among X-MEN comic fans. Rog Antnio and Rain Beredo lead the charge in showcasing some extremely vivid action sequences that will fill readers with a sense of excitement that this title hasnt seen in a couple of months.

The sins of Sinister's recent past plague the Hellions as the character depth and moments surrounding every character that appears on a page continue to make this one of the most solid and engaging books around. As things get darker and more brutal for the team the artwork matches this tone in the best ways possible. Read Full Review
Hellions#14 might not be the character-driven story we're used to getting from this series, but the plot is exciting enough to ensure its place as one of the best series Marvel is publishing right now. Read Full Review
Hellions #14 is another example of why this book is so solid and entertaining. Wells knows how to balances a book very well, getting the right mixture of action, exposition, humor, and stakes to make the whole thing work. Antonio and Beredos art makes the entire thing look great. Hellions remains one of the highlights of the X-line. Read Full Review
It's immediately clear Tarn is an entity not fully understood (or feared) by Krakoa and every detail added here develops them into being a greater antagonist. His impact upon the team is immediate with mounting chaos defining most of this issue. Each new turn shifts the status quo in Hellions further as revelations and choices regularly place characters beyond a point of no return. Read Full Review
Roge Antonio delivers some impressive visuals throughout the issue. There are some great action moments and the overall look and feel of the art is engaging. Read Full Review
Despite the downgrade in art, Hellions #14 is a great continuation in Wells ongoing X-Men drama. The team dynamics are shaken to the core as Tarn reveals Mr. Sinister's betrayal to the Hellions. But Psylocke's daughter is still being held by Essex, so it'll be interesting if she'll be able to stay in her team's good graces knowing she is compromised.
A simply great number.
Zeb Wells is awesome. Considering how well he's done with this team of unpopular characters, just imagine how well he'd do with a team of non-psychopaths. Hopefully we eventually get to see what the real Nanny looks like behind that armor. The Locus Vile are wonderfully creepy.
THIS IS THE DARK TWISTED BOOK THAT YOU SHOULD BE READING RIGHT NOW!
I didn't like this quite as much as the last issue, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Really good! Always an enjoyable one from Zeb Wells. Some dialog was harder to decipher but maybe just me. Antonia was good but Segovia is the standard for this book!
I get so confused with all things Arakko. That said, I still enjoyed the team dynamic and you really can't go wrong with this version of Sinister.
The Hellions and the Locus Vile get fighty. Sinister and his clone manage to team up and escape, because of course they do. I like how the plot's developing, I LOVE how creepy Tarn and his cronies sound. I see the sparkling flash of cool ideas studded all through the story, enhancing a suspenseful conflict that's plenty entertaining by itself. I could wish for stronger art, but I don't think there's any real fault in the visuals. This isn't quite a great comic, but it's a very good one.
Story is pretty good, but pace could be faster.
I have a hard and quite unpleasant time with the dialogue of the Arakko characters but other than that I continue to like this. I also appreciate that unlike most of the X-Men books the infographics page actually adds to the story instead of just adding nonsense. Still, I miss Segovia, the book is always better with him.
