Smart writing, astonishing art, and a side of psychedelic psychology make Legion of X one of the best books out right now. Read Full Review
Legion of X proves an exciting and thoughtful comic book that indulges its philosophical side while still providing sharp dialog and characterizations and an almost slapstick sense of humor and action. In other words, it's the good stuff. Read Full Review
The various stories get a bit fast and loose in this second issue, making for an issue that feels a bit too ephemeral for my tastes. But the character writing is strong and this comic still has a lot of potential. Read Full Review
Wow! I have to say two issues in and this is has the potential to be one of my all-time favorite stories. I hope it keeps going at this level. The writing is simply phenomenal. The complexity and scale of this story is fantastic. I am fully invested in this story and find myself reading it multiple times. The artwork matches the phenomenal writing making this without a doubt one of my favorite books on the shelves right now!
Si Spurrier and Jan Bazaldua firing off all cylinders.
What an exciting time to read these X-Books.
X-MEN RED
IMMORTAL X-MEN
LEGION OF X
All in league to be the best X-Books we've gotten since House/Powers of X.
I love it.
It's messy and it's glorious. Multiple plotlines spool out simultaneously, with their relationships and relative importance currently unclear.
I'd be annoyed with the mess if I weren't absolutely entranced by the script. The ideas and the dialogue are delightful. The art's no slouch, either; it's a solid storytelling asset with its own enjoyable style.
Plus the author is toying with me in the best way when it comes to the mystery god's identity. Through #1 I was thinking, "Ah, it must be … Oh, but it isn't." And now I'm thinking, "Ah-hah, it *is*!" It's done so deftly that I wouldn't even mind if the pendulum swings a couple more times.
I would definitely call this the weakest issue of Spurrier's recent X-Men work thus far, but it still continues to be really interesting. The strongest part of this issue was when the Skinjacker was subdued and he was talking with Nightcrawler. I just hope this series improves a bit, as the previous Way of X series has been the peak of all of this so far.
