HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MUTANT?
MR. SINISTER is missing! Will the Hellions be able to put aside the tensions poised to split the team apart long enough to unravel the mystery? On the upside, at least Sinister found his cape.
Parental Advisory
With Hellions #9, Wells and Segovia guarantee that their cast of oddball mutants have been elevated to break-out stars of the X-Books. As quirky as it is thrilling, as disturbing as it is warm, and as funny as it is punchy, this issue starts a new arc by juggling several on-going plots with a new storyline that brings a classic villain to the Reign of X. With this many balls in the air, the Murderworld circus has officially started! Read Full Review
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, odd characters and body part shapes not withstanding. What's not to like; a break from the Krakoan arc and a couple fo old school villains to boot. I can't wait for the next issue! Read Full Review
There clearly isn't a ton divulged this issue other than the key players. However, the pacing and character development have my interest piqued for next month. HELLIONS is still a must-read and I highly recommend giving this issue a look. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts:While this issue was a quick read there sure is a whole lot going on! Zeb Wells leads what is one of my favorite of all the “X” book ongoings in his typical snarky, fun fashion. Mr. Sinister is also cementing his place as one of my favorite mutants ever!! Read Full Review
Hellions continues it's hot streak of entertaining issues and fan service. Hellions #9 starts a new arc that seems very promising and includes old adversaries that haven't been seen in a while. Zeb Wells knows these characters and he writes them like they are his friends. The pencils and colors are top notch, but that's nothing new for this book. Hellions is a must read for X-Men fans.

Hellions #9 is a good issue. Wells shows that he can do a lot with his characters in a few pages, using his page space strategically. The main plot of the issue is pretty interesting as well, as Sinister is outsmarted and Mastermind just does exactly what he's known for doing. The surprise villain reveal at the end is pretty great as well, as it's a villain that hasn't been seen in a bit and is always fun when he shows up. Segovia's art is the icing on the cake, his character acting, selling the issue's moments admirably. Hellions #9 sets up a new storyline and does some cool character work. Read Full Review
Hellions #9 is another impressive issue featuring one of the most idiosyncratic, darkly funny, and action-prone casts in all of superhero comics. Read Full Review
Rather like cream, well written second banana characters always rise to the top if written well. Or by Zeb Wells. Read Full Review
ThoughHellions#9 doesn't do much to answer the myriad of questions the title has raised, it is a fun ride. Wells continues to capture the wonderful dysfunction of this team's dynamic and Segovia's pencils tie it all together in a beautiful knot. Read Full Review
Overall there isn’t much to say about this issue. It’s more setup for the next main story than anything. It has its shaky moments at the start, but then gets really dark and exciting. The next arc is going to be one not to be missed. Read Full Review
Hellions once again proves why it's the best X-Book on the shelves right now. The team dynamics continue to be entertaining and I enjoy this series' approach with shorter story arcs that don't drag on unnecessarily. All in all another great issue!
I think this is my favorite X-book.
I’m just in love with how much they all hate Mr Sinister, I love that for them.
Very good and entertaining! Wells and Segovia are great together!
Sage: "Mr Sinister has been kidnapped"
Hellions: "LOL FUCK THAT GUY"

Jason Wyngarde has returned and has his eyes set upon Mr. Sinister and the Hellions. After discreetly kidnapping their leader, Jason manipulates the Hellions into investigating the disappearance. Through a series of mental attacks, the Hellions are rendered unconscious and delivered to their true adversary, Arcade!
I love the tension between Nanny and Orphan Maker. Seems like we are about to see a connection betw more
Mastermind kidnaps Mr. Sinister and the Hellions reluctantly pursue him. The pace is very fast, in a good way. Except that it doesn't leave room for many character beats, and right now I like the characterization a hell of a lot more than the plot developments. That surprise antagonist, ugh. I'm also quite "ugh" about Mastermind's mind-@#$%ery. The visuals are nicely-polished but also indistinct. This arc has nowhere to go but up, in my opinion -- and I do trust this creative team to take it there.
