SECRET WARS SERIES
• What has Illyana done to Nightcrawler (and can we get the action figure)?

Rated T+
Inferno #3begins to show the cracks in Krakoa's foundation as Jonathan Hickman's tenure on the X-Men nears its end. With only one issue, and a cliffhanger ending spelling doom for three of Krakoa's leaders, the X-Men's future is once again about to undergo a seismic change. Read Full Review
The interesting part about this series is that there are a lot more question marks than usual for its resolution. As has been shown elsewhere in the Marvel Universe, there are less restrictions across the board on wiping characters off the roster. Numerous big names have already died in various tie-ins across the Secret crossover, though of course there are several versions of each character. This adds to the tension here, as readers are used to the heroes usually winning, but that might not be the case here at all. As it stands the odds are against the heroes, and it makes this easier to enjoy. It continues its solid performance as a less noteworthy but equally good entry into the Secret Wars world.

Inferno moves along well here but it doesn't have quite the same energy as the first two installments. A lot of what drives things here is the fun banter coming from Maddy as she enjoys her current position and predicament when it comes to both Piotr and Scott. Illyana doesn't have a whole lot of time here but she's put some big motions into play thanks to what Piotr's done and it's good to see someone capitalizing on things and taking advantage of it. The book does continue to be fun, but it's setting up for what's to come to draw it all together in a grand way. It's more of a transitional installment for the most part, but one that certainly pleases if you enjoyed the first two. Read Full Review
While the plot isn't the most enamoring, the art carries to book the whole way. This conglomerate of Marvel characters aren't just X-Men, there are Avengers and Brotherhood in the fray as well! We see a well and true army lead by Scott Summers against Ilyana, but she has an ace up her sleeve like no other. Read Full Review
There's not a lot here, but what's there is fun and a visual treat. Read Full Review
Best issue yet.
As a person who read Inferno when it came out originally this book is a great follow-up.
I really dig the art. The story and dialog just aren't doing it for me.
Disappointing
