Sep 14, 2022'Immortal X-Men' dances through the lines when it comes to providing a solid Judgement Day tie-in and moving its own series and character plotlines, further along, setting up for what comes next. It is a gorgeous and colorful series with heavy darkness surrounding it befitting the morally diverse set of characters that populate the Quiet Council and whose minds we get a glimpse into each month.

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Sep 16, 2022Immortal X-Men #6 is another excellent issue. The opening could have been axed except for Destiny getting judged, but overall it all works. Werneck and Curiel do a brilliant job with the art, which is to be expected. Its definitely a great read. Read Full Review

Sep 09, 2022While acting A.X.E.: Judgement Day tie-in Immortal X-Men #6 does a great job at exploring Sebastian Shaw character. Even if you aren't following the latest Marvel event there is enough content here that all ties into the strong character work Kieron Gillen has been doing with this series. Add in strong artwork from Lucas Werneck and David Curiel and there is plenty for fans of Immortal X-Men to enjoy. Read Full Review

Sep 07, 2022The visuals are as they have been, perhaps too realistically rendered and a bit flat but otherwise serviceable, which is also how I'd describe the issue holistically. Read Full Review

Gillen & Werneck twine a really magnificent Sebastian Shaw story (and woo isn't that big reveal character at the end instantly infinitely more compelling here than they are in Legion of X? Werneck really knocks it out of the park with that panel) with a solid elaboration of recent events that includes a chilling and revealing depiction of what the subjective process of being judged is like. If anything, the two halves are ever so slightly unwieldy together, with the crossover part perhaps taking a page or two too much, but the halves are both so good it's hard to complain.

JUDGEMENT DAY in full swing here, I have never felt I've KNOWN Sebastian Shaw, but after this issue, I'm curious to what his character is going to plot next. I hope Gillen writes this book for a while.

Much like the previous issue, Gillen writes an interesting story for a character I don't really know much about. This time, we have Sebastian Shaw being focused on here with a fairly compelling backstory and an encounter with a demon that makes him look like an absolute badass. I also enjoyed his judgment, as I have with most instances during Judgment Day. Before all of this, we're also treated to an intriguing interaction between Sinister and Destiny. Great stuff again from Gillen, plus the return of Werneck to this series is a very welcome one.

Very good tie-in and a nice expansive issue on A.X.E. illustrating how an evil man functions in a messed up world. Guillen makes it compelling how fragile Shaw is with how much illusive power he's after. I just have a problem with the transitions especially when the Demon shows up out of nowhere during the council and I'm not sure if it's on Werneck or Gillen but Werneck does a nice job on art and it fits well for an issue with so many inner-monologues, speeches and narratives.

Finally we see someone who's usually in the shadows - Sebastian Shaw and his creepy secrets.

8.0
I don't much like Sebastian Shaw, and I don't think Kieron Gillen likes him much, either. It'd explain why the "Shaw issue" has so much Destiny in it, along with a li'l Sinister aperitif. It also goes heavy on recaps and foreshadowing, relatively light on real developments. (Though I think I picked up a big, big clue about the Progenitor's modus operandi.) The script might not be joyful, but it's certainly talented and fun, as is the art. (I love Lucas Werneck's trick of giving the Progenitor one nasty Celestial eye even when it shape-shifts.) I think this is the gristle of this series, the unexciting but necessary connective tissue. It's still a better read than most of the other books published this week.

It was pretty good for the most part. It just also dragged in some parts. Overall, a good addition to the event.

I'll admit, I was lost by the ending. Seemed like I was supposed to know that person? If not, why were two pages necessary to "get me excited"? Also, Destiny would know that she was being tricked. The celestial doesn't negate her power...right?
