Very good fun all around, especially with all the little touches that Garron puts into his backgrounds with a wide range of characters. That just ups the re-reading value immensely. Read Full Review

The issue is not as gripping as might be hoped for, but there is nonetheless still something here which is better than what has been seen elsewhere in the past few months. The X-Men generally rely on science for their stories in one way or another, so the supernatural element feels a little bit out of place, but equally so too does the entire Battleworld, so this still comes off feeling logical enough of a story. It does so by mostly avoiding the focus on the specific aspects of the Battleworld setting, which incidentally serve the story better overall. Read Full Review

The Secret Wars series are giving us a chance to revisit past story arcs and different versions of characters. We've seen some books continue with the main feel while others have taken a deep departure. Dennis Hopeless shows us a part of Battleworld where the X-Men were forced to retreat during their battle against the demons. Jumping to four years later, we get to see how they've changed and what their mission is. Javier Garron does a fine job capturing the atmosphere of the transformed city. As the action starts to heat up, we get a pretty interesting cliffhanger that will make you want to come back for the next issue. Things might be bad for the X-Men but it's good for those that want an intriguing story. Read Full Review

This isn't to say the issue is bad, just unexpected as the alternate universe story reads more like Claremont's X-Men Forever than a dark and serious tome. Read Full Review

Overall, it’s a darn good book. I’m pretty sure future issues will hold a lot of new excitement and action for us. There’s bound to be some nice variation coming into the picture. Despite my pickiness, I’ll be keeping up with this book, and you should, too. Read Full Review

Inferno is off to a rock'em sock'em start, which is always good for a comic. But while I'm all for a gentle trip down memory lane, I hope this story line doesn't dwell too long on what was and moves on quickly to the present. Read Full Review

The original X-Men Inferno event was so beloved, and the concept at the heart of this modern Inferno #1 (Colossus venturing back into Hell on Earth to save his little sister) is so immediately captivating, that it's a real shame and surprise that this issue doesn't pack more of a punch than it does.

Inferno #1 is a pretty good read that will make you want to pick up the next issue. Dennis Hopeless writes a strong first issue that should satisfy fans of the original story. The art is fine for the most part, but at times feels too optimistic. Javier Garron has a good resume with demons and other beings, so hopefully he can get a better grasp on the X-Men.

"Inferno" #1 just isn't quite coming together; so far, it's nothing new and exciting, with just some forms of characters getting thrown back into the pot. Maybe future issues will bring something big and exciting to the table, something playing on the themes of corruption in the name of desperation. For now, though, it's a little underwhelming.

Great artwork, clumsy script.

The whole concept behind this first issue is quite a stretch, subsequent issues may prove more worthwhile if they go in a different direction, if not I think it's best to drop this like a hot potato. The artwork is not bad at least, a little too busy, but that is most likely due to an overly dense script.
