Covid really jacked up X of swords and Hickman's involvement. I would have loved to see what his original vision was. That being said, Gillen's Judgment day might be the best event I've read in a while.
SWEET DREAMS AREN'T MADE OF THIS! Charles Xavier always had a dream...but one man's dream is another's nightmare. This one will make you wish you could wake up screaming.
Immortal X-Men #10 is the best issue of this book so far, which is saying something. Gillen is brilliant in general, but this book really takes that to the next level. This is the issue that every X-fan needs to read even if they arent, for some mystifying reason, reading Immortal X-Men. Wernecks art isnt as good as usual, but that doesnt mean its bad; instead of being amazing, its merely great, which isnt a bad place to be. Curiels colors help that out immensely. All in all, this is easily one of the most important comics of the Krakoa Era so far. Read Full Review
This is, put bluntly, an astonishing book. It functions both as a perfect glimpse into a mind composed of overweening hubris and as a horrifying setup for what is certain to be one of the most memorable comics events of the year. I cannot wait to get this sinful party started. Read Full Review
Immortal X-Men #10 will make you think about Mr. Sinister's point of view, however tainted, and commiserate with him. That's a special thing, as it's rare to feel for a villain like Mr. Sinister and even for one second consider maybe he's right. For Mr. Sinister, the slightest edge is the greatest advantage, and this issue proves he may be the most dangerous mutant villain ever due to his tainted point of view delivered expertly here.

A dream is shattered as ‘Immortal X-Men' #10 dives deep into the mind of the man that helped begin it all while sinister motivations begin to spin Krakoa toward the endgame of the evil geneticist working in plain sight all along. Two narratives are woven within this issue seamlessly coming together at the very end to help kick this book into gear for the upcoming event that will see it completely changed for months.

This issue of Immortal X-Men is a bold one, tackling multiple complex ideas wrapped up in the X-Men mythology, from the flawed character of Professor X to the self-policing politics of the X-Men as a superhero team, to the limits of the mutant metaphor. Read Full Review

Spectacular stuff. So excited to dive into Sins of Sinister.
Such a perfect book. I have nothing but praise for this.
Wow! I am such a huge x-men fan and have been reading x-men books for over 30 years now. I have to say this might be my favorite Era of the x-men books. Chris Claremont is my favorite writer and he is the x-men so I certainly don't take anything away from him but the scale of this absolutely mind blowing tale that started with hox and pox is amazing!! The inner dialog of xavier in this is outstanding! The massive reveal at the end is so awesome and makes me so excited already for next week's x-books. Every week I put the x-books at the top of my pull list because they are simply phenomenal and I can't wait to find out where the story will go next.
That reveal! Trying to decipher if that was Hickman’s plan all along or it came to be recently.
What a tweeeest!
Poetic, powerful, emotional, this one's going into the best of comics list.
Phenomenal issue all around with an incredible ending. Saying any more would spoil the fun.
The final issue of this series before Sins of Sinister does a great job of setting up intrigue going into the event. Werneck's art is, as usual, very nice here and he does particularly great work during the action sequences. As for Gillen's writing, it continues to be fantastic with the inner-narration of Charles Xavier. His internal discussion about the X-Men and mutants as a whole was just so interesting to read, and the final page is just crazy.
Nice!
Pretty solid issue. I dropped the regular X-Men series a few issues back, but felt like this is the one to stick with. It's always a good read.
The two halves of the story — Xavier's narration and the action — don't gel as tidily as has been the case in the best issues of this series, but boy when they come together in the end for that final twist it's just perfect
This issue delivers plenty of developments conveyed with solid verbal and visual storytelling. But I'm not as entranced as I usually am with this title. The art's a little cartoony; the prose is a little beige. And the developments--particularly that last-page swerve! I'm certainly surprised, but in an unpleasant, frustrated way.
It's still an excellent comic, but I think the title's other issues are better at standing on their own. This one is going to need strong follow-up material.
There is genius in this issue! Unfortunately, it's like 5 stories crammed together in a tiny space, the storytelling gave me headache. Also, I find it alarming that I'm starting to hate the whole Quiet Council... They are all written like psychos and dictators. Is it Gillen's plan? If so, he's great. If not... Well, let's say he should change his ways.
