MAD AS HELL!
Krakoa's resident rabble are up against the grand dame of the damned - the Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor! Talk about a return that could raise some havoc!
Rated T+
Simply put, this is a very impressive series that everyone needs to be reading. HELLIONS #3 is creepy in all the right places with all the wrong characters. Wells uses the mutant land of misfit toys to bring forth one of the best titles currently running at Marvel Comics right now. Match Zeb Wells writing with Steven Segovia's brilliant illustrations and detailed artistic license and you have a book that's 100 times more memorable than the Goblin Queen herself. Read Full Review
Stephen Segovia raises the level of the art in this issue and every page is filled with beautiful details as well as scary and intense moments. The contrast between the two main conflicts is amazing and the horror is visceral. Read Full Review
For a book that, at its inception, felt like it could water down the product, I have to say that I quite enjoyed this issue. I do worry that once the Madeline focus is resolved, will the book falter in the same way as Fallen Angels. After all, both books use the set mission approach, that may not offer much wiggle room. That's a concern for down the line; for now, just revel in the gloriously visual chaos of a vengeful Goblin Queen! Read Full Review
Overall ‘Hellions’ continues to just shock and awe. This book is outstanding and is a must read for any x-fan. Read Full Review
In Hellions #3, Madelyne Pryor reveals her plan, and Psylocke proves she's the alpha! Read Full Review
Hellions #3 does a great job of setting up the threat of Madelyne Pryor. Her mania makes sense, but she's just insane enough to keep readers from sympathizing with her too much. Wells sets a nice spooky vibe, and Segovia and Curiel's art does a great job of upholding the tone. Hellions #3 has it all- thrills, spills, and chills- and is a wonderful comic. Read Full Review
When all is said and done Hellions #3 continues its story well. Aside from some potentially hard to follow references for new readers the story is interesting and sets up its next installment well. Read Full Review
This is a good issue, but it has its issues. Pryor is underwritten, but so is the book in general thanks to a decompressed story spanning only a few minutes. It's an exciting fight comic though, and one with some bizarre and weird elements that can't be missed. If you like your entertainment weird, you'll like Hellions. Read Full Review
The villain is properly set up, with some really grotesque moments, but otherwise the issue felt like it was spinning its wheels just a tad. Read Full Review
The story is still well told and the excitement this premise generated in its debut is still evident, but the best part of Hellions #1 was how quickly it introduced new characters, scenarios, and ideas. Hellions needs to rediscover that thrill. Read Full Review
Zeb Wells has managed to consistently deliver the goods with this series! Maddie and Havok's interactions are intriguing and Kwannon's domination over Wild Child was fun to see. Here's hoping X Of Swords doesn't derail the quality.
I couldn’t, ever, think i would LOVE a Zeb Wells comicbook
This book is delicious.
Ah...maze...ing. Stephen Segovia's art is stellar (especially the fight scenes between Psylocke and Wild Child). Last issue I predicted a "psychic smack-down" for Wild Child and Psylocke delivered that and more (via the "old ways"...). Kudos to Zeb Wells too. The story is developing nicely. It seems the Goblin Queen Maddie holds a grudge...
(p.s. to the Kwannon-Psylocke haters that are going to give this issue a "1" rating because they are butt-hurt that Betsy Braddock isn't Psylocke anymore, give it a rest. Enjoy Excalibur and take your SALT with you, nobody needs high blood pressure during the pandemic).
This series got so fucked up so fast, and I'm definitely here for it.
This doesn't quite reach the 9/10 mark for me, but I did think it was the best issue of the run so far. Segovia's art is pretty solid, though he does draw Madelyne a little weird on certain pages. As for Wells, he continues to tell a story that's dark and fun at the same time. He's really starting to get me interested in characters that I knew little-to-nothing about going into this series.
This won me over. It was just really well done. Creepy, well-paced, pretty good art. Although, I'm not totally sold on all these characters.
This was interesting to read and had some cool moments.
Art 4/5
Story 4/5
Though I don't much care for these sorts of grimdark mutant stories, I can appreciate that this one is done well.
