A COLOSSAL MISTAKE? The Quiet Council gather to fill the empty seat. It's the last chance to make a smart, kind decision to prevent the fall. Luckily, the deciding vote is in the hands of trusty old Colossus. Let's hope he hasn't got plans to ruin everything. That would be terrible.
Rated T+
This is an action packed, thematically dense story, a gunpowder charge preparing the groundwork for an event that promises to blow Krakoa off the face of the earth. Read Full Review
Gillen leverages Colossus' Russian heritage to play into parallels with Russian literary tragedies to clever effect, and the idea that fear of terrible things happening is what causes those things rings true throughout multiple subplots. Read Full Review
Immortal X-Men #12 is a reminder of what a strong series this is. It has startling implications for Krakoa that surely will lead into the Fall Of X come August. Gillen and co craft a fascinating look into the character of Colossus while telling a story of political intrigue and power grabs. Read Full Review
Immortal X-Men#12 is a high point for the run. The issue has betrayal, romance, scheming, and attention to an arc that has been building for over a year. The art pops and adds emotion to every scene, though Werneck still has a few absent background issues. All the same, the panels are expertly lain out, and the story excels at every point.

A long dangling plotline is the focus as ‘Immortal X-Men' #12 moves the line ever closer to the impending fall that is the destiny for the mutants of Krakoa. While mostly solid there are a few elements that feel a bit rushed, potentially because of the speed needed to reach that aforementioned fall on the horizon. Read Full Review
At first I was confused. I only read Immortal and X-men Red so that's why I didnt Knew before hand what was happening to Collosus but even without that this a 10/10 book
It's come to my attention that Colossus being controlled by someone else is a storyline in the current X-Force run, which explains a lot after reading this. However, despite not having read a single issue of that series prior to reading this, I still absolutely loved this issue. As another user pointed out in their review, I thought the writer possibly, somewhat, represented Gillen himself and perhaps comic writers in general. This aspect of the book was super interesting, especially thinking about it in that representative way. Plus, the main plot of this was intriguing on its own. My jaw literally dropped when Mother Righteous made Mystique kill Destiny. In my shock, for nearly a minute, I almost forgot that the mutants had resurrection. more
God, this comic is just so incredible. Leave it to Gillen & Werneck to take a drab X-Force plot and make it into a Mooresque story where Pyotr has a digetic writer, and that writer is a metaphor for both Gillen himself AND Dostoyevsky
I had zero idea what was going on but I loved it. This feels like the good writing Claremont used to do. Destiny is young? Awesome. I'll go back and read this series from issue one but I wanted to rate this before I did as a testament to how good it was. Out of comics for YEARS and I still loved a book in which I had no clue what the hell was happening. That's pretty good writing. Also, this cover is BEAUTIFUL!
Immortal X-Men at its absolutely best
Heartbreaking!
Some interesting movement here.
I've not enjoyed this issue as much as others I see. The mechanics were a bit too mechanical lol. Maybe it's my dislike of X-Force and the way that series progressed and handled Piotr/Colossus. I'm getting tired of this stuff. Maybe the fall of X will be a nice way to escape the X-men world after 4 years.
A little on the lighter side of intrigue. I thin it served its purpose to add another layer to a post Sinister Krakoa.
