Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Oct 02, 2019House of X #6 brings this revolutionary tale of Mutantkind's rise to a conclusion, and I couldn't be prouder of Marvel and this creative team taking the mutant problem seriously again. Survival is not just about facing extinction time and time again, it's also about the wonder in how you adapt to the world around you. This is the first time where you could say that the mutants genuinely adapted with all the resources and allies they have had to take advantage of for YEARS. I don't think I have ever felt this excited for what comes next in the X-Books. The Dawn of X-Men is going to be a line of books to look forward to! Read Full Review

Oct 02, 2019Anyone expecting Hickman to pull the rug out from under readers by the end will be disappointed (though there's still next week's Powers of X), and that makes the series as a whole that much more powerful. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Ja-Quan Greene
Oct 03, 2019You'll think about Mars and the well-intentionedbreeding pits that willinevitably descend into madness. You'll think about the Marauders and the Savage Lands and how these people and places will tell so many stories in the twilight of mutant supremacy. You may even think of Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers/Infinity/Time Runs Out/Secret Wars run and the glaring parallels between these distinctive tales. Ohhh House of X will make you think!

Monkeys Fighting Robots - Cody Walker
Oct 03, 2019With the last Powers of X issue heavy with information about machine societies, it only seems fitting that the finale will be right after mutants have established their lives on Krakoa. I think nano sentinels will infect Krakoa, and since "Make More Mutants" is one of the three laws, mutants will reproduce omega sentinels at alarming rates, and the machines will implode into a black hole.

Oct 03, 2019Issue #6 is the last issue of House of X, but Hickman still has a little story left to tell. Powers of X #6 will conclude the story next week. I can't wait to see how everything ends. Until then, enjoy the party that Hickman, Larraz, and Gracia has thrown for us and the mutants. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Oct 02, 2019Overall this issue is not the most exciting issue in the series. That being said it does usher in a new beginning and celebrates the mutants and their accomplishments. The book is yet again stunning to look at, and the drama is heightened by the amazing art and colors. Are you ready for “Dawn of X’ because I sure am! Read Full Review

Newsarama - Pierce Lydon
Oct 02, 2019I can’t remember the last time the X-Men was this good. It feels fresh, relevant and important. It feels more like the minority allegory that it’s purported to be than ever before. In true X-Men fashion, there’s interpersonal conflict and big superhero stakes building side by side creating a powderkeg that is sure to explode with the release of the finale of Power of X next week. Hickman, Larraz and the rest of the creative team have created something that is as status quo changing as Giant Size X-Men #1. It’s a great time to be an X-Men fan. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Oct 02, 2019House of X #6 is an interesting comics. It cements Hickman's vision but also cements these aren't the X-Men that we've come to know. They no longer fight for equality, they demand dominance. They see themselves as the rightful inheritors of Earth. The X-Men are now what they used to fight against. Read Full Review

Terrific. This issue was a fantastic conclusion to this amazing series. Everything went according to plan and Krakoa is now established as a nation. However, I can't shake the feeling that something will go wrong. Well, I guess we'll have to wait for the last issue of Powers of X to see if there will be any twist that will change everything.

Again just magnificent. Not much can be said about how much Jonathan Hickman has not only done for the X-Men, but Marvel in general. From Secret Warriors -> Fantastic Four -> SHIELD -> Avengers -> Secret Wars -> X-Men. This man has single-handedly changed the comics landscape at Marvel, and if that doesn't amaze you, then I don't know what will. Bravo on this issue, I hope his ongoing X-Men run will continue this excellence.

I have never been so excited for a team book. Hickman fully introduces the way the Krakoan government is going to work and teases relationships between the leaders of this new nation. It's all VERY exciting. Mister Sinister steals every page he's in. And the art is gorgeous, especially towards the end of this issue. I have no intention of missing a single moment of Hickman's X-Men book, and I want to tell all of my friends how cool comic books are. So I guess these mini-series' have been a complete success,

THE GOOD: -This was a really stellar final issue. -Damn, that whole opening was just... epic. I have no other word for it. -Hickman's writing kind of reached a beautiful crescendo here. It combined the lore and the impact of previous issues for a wonderful tapestry of story and dialogue -The art was definitely at its best this issue too. Every page felt that much more cinematic and climactic because of the pencils and colors. -I was unsure of Sabretooth's storyline, because I didn't find it that interesting before, but it turned into a really great moral debate this issue. -Hickman dialed down the graphics this issue and it really improved the issue. -That last scene was just... everything. Everything I want to rea more

Prelude: It's the final House of X issue. One more after this one. It's time for Hickman to stick the landing before Dawn of X. The Good: Xavier's speech to humanity was so good and it had the added bonus of tying this story fully into the current continuity. The First Meeting of the Quiet Council. Man, that was so ----ing great. I loved every single aspect of it, the whole fleshing out aspects of Krakoa. Man, so good. Which brings us to this issue's infographics. I loved the Government one which revealed the entire Quiet Council bar one (which benefit of hindsight helps me with), and the laws one. Laws were simple but really showed where things stand within Krakoa. Oh, and as a modder for Civilization VI creating Superhero Civs/ more

It ends with fireworks, but I'm amazed by the threads of darkness running through the nation-building process. So many things could/will go wrong! And they'll all be worth reading about. In that way, the big party is entirely deserved; this is a full-on renaissance in one of the medium's biggest franchises. Xavier's final monologue leans HARD on Mr. Hickman's quintessential theme of parental duty, doesn't it?

honestly I'm glad johnathan hickman totally changed everything. now all the mutants are working together and they have ways to revive each other. This isnt circle storytelling anymore. The entire event is a 7 out of 10 but this issue is a 10 out of 10

A great ending to a fantastic miniseries. I know this whole thing isn't quite over yet with Powers of X #6 coming after this, but this does feel like the beginning of a new age in the best way possible. Larraz kills it once again with his art, and Hickman instills a sense of hope by this issue's final few pages. Just really great stuff here all around.

"Just look at what we have made" A really satisfying ending to House of X. All the build-up paid off. Seems like there's a bright future ahead of the mutantkind. Well, maybe not for everyone. I was expecting Professor X to go full-blown villain by the end of this and I'm glad he didn't. But that trial scene had some strokes of ruthlessness. It was harrowing. Thankfully, Mr. Sinister was there to lighten the mood a little. Ok, now it's time to see if Powers of X will finally explain that weird future that's been going on there.

This is great writing. However it shows some of Hickman's excesses, like bending character to plot like he did in The New Avengers. In that series, a secret group of Avengers, The Illuminati, formed a black ops team in charge of destroying worlds, making the aforementioned Avengers mass murderers in a cosmic scale. Spoilers. The X Men forming their own country is interesting (something similar was done in Utopia years ago), but I don't see a coherent universe in which Storm, Marvel Girl and Nightcrawler sit at the same table as Apocalypse and Sinister. Still, it promises to be a great read.
