Hellions#2 is a remarkable experiment in taking what shouldn't work and making it sing. Read Full Review

Overall ‘Hellions’ is shaping up to be a really fun book and definitely is what the x-line up needs. If you like a darker book with a lot of humor then pick this one up. Read Full Review

Though the length of time between these first two issues has been frustrating, I truly think Hellions #2 was worth the wait. Chock full of wonderful, darkly wacky character moments, a rich team dynamic, and story hook that continues to pay out dividends (now made even more richly complex thanks to Pryor's return), Hellions #2 continues to be wholly it's own thing and by doing so, absolutely stands out amid the Dawn of X pack.

Hellions has been a book that has taken me by surprise. Zeb Wells has done a great job of reeling in readers and keeping them guessing. The pencils and colors couldnt have been better this issue. Hellions is a book that shouldnt be missed! Read Full Review

Stephen Segovia knocks it out of the park with the art. From the first panel with the Hellions strolling up to the police to the final shocking panel in the issue, Segovia makes every visual moment shine with detail. Read Full Review

Hellions #2 is a fantastic issue. While it moves away from the weightier aspects set up in its debut, it entertains delivering a lot of action and some laughs. It's been a long wait since the first issue but it's been more than worth it. Read Full Review

Hellions #2 continues to show the struggles that some mutants have integrating into Krakoan life while sending that group on a terrifying mission that brings them face to face with the Goblin Queen! Read Full Review

All of the ingredients for an excellent run are still present after a very impressive debut in the spring, and they mark Hellions as a potential breakout series that any skeptical Marvel fan should consider adding to their roster post haste. Read Full Review

The characters are written wonderfully and the tumultuous interactions between the members of Hellion represented well. The plot is picking up quickly and the creative team is handling this team of misfits beautifully. Read Full Review

Hellions #2 is a gut-punch of a comic. The pace is quick and brutal. Wells doesn't waste a lot of time getting to the action, but he's still able to do some nice work with his characters, balancing things very well. Read Full Review

A solid action issue hints at just enough tidbits of mystery to make this more than just any other comic. Read Full Review

This isn't the strongest series to come up with the X-Men revamp but the themes are rather engaging. I love the darker tone that is coming out of this and X-Force and I enjoy most of the characters that are being featured in this series. At the very least, I will be picking up the next issue to see if they can continue the momentum. My fear is that the middle issues are going to be much of the same thing and not bring anything new to the table. Read Full Review

In a comic bursting with potential, Wells just can't deliver on those expectations. Read Full Review

Great issue. Major kudos to Stephen Segovia (and crew). The art was brilliant. Love the darker color pallet for Psylocke. While the book is about a kill squad, this issue had fun and funny moments...(a.k.a. Greycrow's solution to Empath's mischief). Can't wait to see what's gonna happen in issue #3. Methinks Wild Child is gonna get a psychic smackdown.

A real gem of a comic, the art fits perfectly and the characters are very well written. I hope we have much more of Madelyne in the future.

Really blown away by the writing in this series. Clearly this is Marvel's "Suicide Squad" using the X-Men roster with the ability to kill anyone at any moment (due to The Five being able to rebirth all mutants) puts a fun twist on it. Kinda feels like Deadpool is missing but that might be too obvious.

This is a fantastic book !

Art 4/5
Story 5/5

I liked this one better than the first issue, as I think it had more room to breathe with the setup out of the way. Segovia's art continues to be good, but the writing from Wells is what makes this book for me. I think he's handling all of the characters nicely and I particularly enjoyed seeing Greycrow straight-up shoot Empath in the face. The introduction of resurrecting mutants has allowed writers more freedom to have a character die, even if they'lll be resurrected as soon as the next issue.

I liked this a lot. It was a lot of fun. I like the team dynamics, and the art is really good.

The Hellions' run-in with the Marauders and the Goblin Queen goes just about as bad as an x-mission can go. Solid scripting and top-shelf art ensure that this fast read is still satisfying. I appreciate the fundamental logic that drives this plot: A "team" of psychopaths that mostly hate each other is no team at all.

Enjoyed this book. I have no familiarity with any of the characters (I always wondered about Nanny -even before knowing her name). Great story, great art. It has a creepy vibe to it. Excellent ending with Wild Child and Psylocke. Interested to see where this leads.

Eh, seeing Maddie Pryor was nice. Not much else happens but it was pretty enjoyable.

I like how the story develops beginning with the tension between the human cops and the mutant Hellions. The fight scene that takes up much of the book is really fun to read. The twist at the end is set-up in a convincing way and makes me want to read the next issue.

The bit with Empath was a bit abrupt. Nanny provides some nice humor, though one of the gags goes on a beat too long. Psylocke and Madelyne Pryor are oversexualized in a way that detracts from the book.

I don’t think I care about any of these characters yet... I’m trying but they’re not connecting to me!

I forgot about this series, but it's pretty good. I like the premise a lot, but so far, they've yet to go anywhere interesting with it.
