Overall this chapterhas some pretty shocking moments, as well as some sad ones. This was an explosive chapter that will have some long lasting impact on several members of the team. Read Full Review

This issue proves why this is a vastly underrated title in the X-line with its distinctive charm and unpredictability factor. Read Full Review

Hellions #6 is, simply put, one of the bloodiest and most violent issues of mutants history. What comes after this? Read Full Review

As a character study, spy drama, or absurd romp, it delivers and readers should only expect this series to continue setting a high bar amongst the "Dawn of X" line. Read Full Review

Hellions #6 is an action-packed romp that will have a lot of repercussions in this book. Whats going to happen with the members of the team left in Arrako? What did Tarn do to Mister Sinister between the survivors retreating and him killing the team? What happens next? Wells does a great job throughout this issue of posing new questions for readers and setting things up for the future. Carneros artworks very well, even if its sometimes a little undercooked. This one feels like a turning point for this book, and thats a good thing. Read Full Review

This issue felt like exposition to the Hellions title rather than a middle issue in a giant event. And that kind of frustrated me but perhaps there is going to be a tie in that I am unaware of. Read Full Review

Hellions#6 isn't a great entry inX of Swordsevent, but it's a great standalone issue in a fun series thus far. Read Full Review

At least Hellions gets to keep telling its own story, kind of. Read Full Review

I really love Sinister.

The "X of Swords" event is only important to Hellions #6 because it provides explanation for the team's mission. I agree with others that it shouldn't be considered a "chapter" in the crossover. Having said that, it's still the BEST of all the the chapters so far. Sinister's ulterior motivations for the Hellions' journey has resulted in the best action of the event. I'm more interested in what's gonna happen to the Hellions than I am in the sword bearers and their lame(ish) duels.

A really nice interlude of sorts for X of Swords's second half. This issue and the previous felt a bit disconnected from the crossover, but I think that worked in the run's benefit. This was another great issue for the series and I love how terrible Wells writes Sinister to be.

This is a constantly good read and actually trying to tell a story instead of cramming nonsense like the others. I'm glad this is a side quest keeping with the previous narrative. Carnero and Curiel were a great combo!

Even in a giant event such as X of Swords that's got a lot of ups and downs, Hellions continues to be a consistently entertaining read.

The Hellions' mission and Sinister's mission turn out to be wholly separate. The former is a brutal failure; the latter, a devious success. It's a generally-strong issue, enhanced by a lot of black humor and the thrill of seeing somebody push a tangent agenda right through the big crossover event. It stops shy of greatness mainly, I think, because Tarn and his Locus Vile are strictly one-note antagonists.

I actually got really into the team dynamics for this issue. Not sure why it suddenly worked for me, but nice.

Aw, remember when the X-Men titles made sense and the team dynamics were entertaining? Hellions' X of Swords tie in seems fluid and natural, a welcome refresher from the main story.

Again a solid issue Best book of XOS

XOS Ch. 18: This was a really fun issue as always with this series. Though not quite up to par with previous issues. Both this and Hellions #5 shouldn't have been labeled as chapters in X Of Swords. Maybe just a side-quest tie-in. I'm still loving the cast and the constant back-stabbing. The question now is: will Nanny, Orphan-maker and Wild Child suffer the same fate as Rockslide? Or are they gonna be okay because they died in Arakko not Otherworld?

Completely irrelevant for the main event compared to the other ones, but a fine Hellions issue in a vaccum.

while still being good this was my least favorite of the x of swords books so far. i'm not saying it was bad by any means but it was just decent however i am very intrigued by the end
