Jan 06, 2021HELLIONS provided just enough action to keep readers intrigued in the story while developing deeper relationships with the characters, fortifying extensive growth between members of the team, and providing readers with some philosophical ideas to ponder for the future. Wells gives fans an easy read that makes sense while ultimately proving this team is for real. Each week, HELLIONS is sliding higher and higher up on my stack and easily one of the top 5 X-MEN titles on the market.

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Jan 06, 2021Hellions #8 is another example of why this is one of the most interesting of the X-Men books. It combines a good sense of humor with a lot of dark stuff, making the whole thing more palatable. Wells is the perfect writer for this book, and Segovia's art really makes his work shine. While this isn't a groundbreaking book by any means, it's very entertaining and a treat to read. Read Full Review

Jan 06, 2021Zeb Wells is no stranger to the X-Men, butHellionsis certainly his best work with a mutant team thus far. Stephen Segovia's pencils are a treat as usual, and the writing proves once again thatHellionsis the current X-Men series with the most heart. Read Full Review

Jan 07, 2021Hellions proves that there are no small players in the X-Men and Zeb Wells and company are incapable of occupying small roles in one of the most consistently rewarding series at the start of "Reign of X." Read Full Review

All-Comic - Jeremy Matcho
Jan 09, 2021Hellions #8 is another good issue in the series that hasnt disappointed so far. Zeb Wells has really delved into what makes these characters tick, and he shows us every issue. The pencils and colors continue to showcase the top tier talent that Marvel has in their roster. Hellions is a series that is under the radar, but shouldnt be. Read Full Review

Zeb Wells continues to prove why Hellions is the best X-Men title right now. This issue features great moments with Empath, Havok and Nanny; proving this truly is a team book and not just a Kwannon book disguised as a team book. Marvel, please don't cancel this title!

In just 8 issues, Zeb Wells has so developed and "fleshed-out" these (mostly) unknown characters that I have a sense of familiarity with them. Their actions and dialog don't seem random or forced (e.g. when Empath turned tail and ran, I thought "F#cking Empath, there he goes again"... as if I've know this character for years). Amazing and Brilliant! Hellions has easily become my #1 X-Book. Keep up the great work.

That was alot to absorb. By the end of the issue I felt like Havok. I don't care how much fan-service there was in the drawings of Psylocke in this issue , did she really have to throw up those robots? The antagonist being baited to do himself in was comedy, and proved Empath has a reach that extends past what limits he belives he has. And yeah, John's save of Psylocke was cool. And Nanny? Creepy as always down to the final panel. All the issue missed was Sinister's pomp, but that should be expected in the next issue. Havok really has to toughen up. - cvrthebard.tumblr.com

Another quality issue. I was hoping to get more info about Orphan-Maker's power, but no such luck...maybe next month.

This right here is what I like from my comic books - comical, but with a touch of intrigue and a bit of the ol' ultraviolence.

The Hellions retrieve Nanny's ship and blow up Cameron Hodge and his racist robots. They're remarkably effective considering they're all pursuing separate, often secret, often conflicting agendas. Hodge gets most of the melodramatic dialogue; the mutants are pretty terse. It's still a funny book, full of dry, sharp humor. The art is also well-polished. This is a great story told with speed and skill.

This book is just a lot of fun. I never thought this would be at the top of my pile but here we are. The continued follow up to the fallout from X of Swords is a fun read and I find myself more invested in these rag tag characters that I thought wouldn't work together but they do. Following the fun story is the very solid art that pops and is full of a lot motion and emotion. I recommend picking this up if you're into offbeat X-Men crazy violent weird story.

Unable to hijack his mind, Empath reveals Hodge as a robot. Denying this claim, Hodge orders the Smileys to open fire upon him, knowing their AI would prevent them from causing harm towards the true Cameron Hodge. Riddled with bullets and the truth, Hodge is terminated as the Smileys thank Havok for more
