X MY HEART!
Xavier swore he would stay on Krakoa and defend its memory. He's leaving. There must be a good reason to leave one doomed island for another - and the dark secrets that await beneath Muir Island. Meanwhile, something is very wrong with Jean...or is it something very right?

Nov 22, 2023With Lucas Werneck moving on to other things, Marvel Comics calls on Juan Jose Ryp to draw Immortal X-Men #17 and it proves to be an issue that plays to the artist's considerable strengths. Read Full Review

Nov 22, 2023It is said it is better to have loved and lost, but that's taking someone else's perspective on something that's personal. Only the individual can truly appreciate all that someone, or something has meant to them; the loss they now feel. If only there was a way to make this into a healthy relationship instead of this nothingness. A good portion of the pages of Immortal X-Men #17 from Marvel Comics echo this exact sentiment.

Nov 22, 2023There are undoubtedly flaws inImmortal X-Men#17, but there are some sections of the story that elevate it to greatness. Sinister has never been more compelling, and Jean's narration begs to be read a dozen times before it can be fully comprehended.Fall of Xhas been all about the Fall, butImmortal X-Men#17 is already paving the way for the return of the Quiet Council and the redemption of the X-Men.

Each issue of Immortal X-Men since this year's Hellfire Gala has felt a lot like an episode of Game of Thrones. There are so many different stories included, individual issues/episodes aren't able to always do each one justice. For this issue, the Exodus, Hope, Jean, & Apocalypse scenes and the Mother Righteous vs. Destiny scenes were the weakest ones for me for different reasons. The Exodus/Hope/Jean/Apocalypse story felt too rushed and was weighed down by a head-scratching narrative decision. Fans who didn't read the Jean Grey miniseries are likely missing out on a lot of context around Jean's current mental state which Kieron Gillen shows us, without much background, in this latest issue of Immortal X-Men. That miniseries helps this more

Well oiled machine from Guillen. I enjoy it for all the threads it weaves. Nothing mind blowing but very solid and enjoyable X-Men story that pulls from history and builds towards an interesting future. Juan Jose Ryp is a good artist that somehow fits the tone of this philosophical issue.

An enjoyable issue here, though it's still not up to the standards of quality it was once at. This is far from bad, but I found myself really interested by the dialogue between Charles and Sinister and not nearly as interested when the issue focused on Jean, Hope, Exodus, and Mother Righteous. With one issue left, I hope this series sticks the landing, as I've loved it for the most part. Also, I'll always miss Lucas Werneck on art, but Ryp did a really solid job on this one.

The plot develops with a vengeance, and on the character side, we get that rarest of all creatures: a contrite Mr. Sinister. The art looks great. I think the "random past Jean Grey quotes" gimmick was a little overdone, though.

Lots of cool reveals here but the repetitive biblical type quotes theme has really began to drag down each ongoing issue.

I hate to give this a less than favorable grade. Normally I like Immortal. This just felt so jumbled, and I didn't really feel compelled by any of the Jean Grey or Exodus stuff.
