All in all another stellar win for my favorite X-book each and every month, and here's hoping the party never ends. Read Full Review

After being more focused on acquisitions and political maneuvering, Marauders #23 takes the book back to some face-punching crime-fighting. Read Full Review

Overall Marauders was a lot of fun. Yes, it screamed filler issue, but it was so fun and getting to see Banshee back in action was well worth it. Read Full Review

Marauders is a series that has continuously treaded water for far too long while far too often stepping on the wrong side of various serious topics in almost glib or smug ways that do more harm than good. The art team does a good job bringing the energy up within these pages, even if the art style and part of the story heavily clash in tone. Read Full Review

I loved the team aspect here. The Reavers vs.The Marauders " this is the type of teamwork that playoff games are made off of. And seeing Shadowcat & Frost perform so cohesively, as if co-captains, was an excellent reference to the relationship that they have grown together since the days when Kitty was choosing between Hellfire & the Xavier Institute like Gryffndor & Slytherin.

As a stand-alone issue, Marauders #23 is a lot of fun. Emma leads a team to help Banshee defend a storage of Krakoan medicine against the Reavers. Stories like this are what I want this comic to consistently be: a team of Mutant adventurers fighting for their nation. Duggan seems so unsure of what this book is or should be; resulting in tonal and quality whiplash.

This is still good and written well for what it is. But it's becoming more and more unfocused. I don't know what the overarching plot is becoming. I heard from Hickman's big interview that the line is going to be restructured after Inferno, so I hope someone who can give this title more attention takes over, or that it just ends and we can get our fix of these characters elsewhere. It's not bad or anything, it just feels inconsequential. Which is not a great feeling at $3.99 per issue.

Banshee calls the Marauders into a gangster/Reaver fight over Krakoan drugs. The Cuckoos finish their business with Wilhemina Kensington. Barring a few shreds of foreshadowing, this is a one-and-done adventure. It gives some under-used mutants a chance to shine -- Banshee, Jumbo Carnation (in combat), and Tempo -- but with attention split between them, it's not really a spotlight issue for anyone. The cartoony art is nifty, but it's a big jump from how this title usually looks. The humor worked just enough to bump my rating from "average" to "good." I'm not sure an Irish reader would agree, though; Banshee and his kinsmen are Oirish enough to approach the "offensive stereotype" boundary.

This was... fine, but I miss when I had hope for this comic to be anything more than OK, because "Kate Pryde bisexual pirate queen" should be the comic I've waited my whole life for rather than a comic that I'm mostly just reading out of habit

This comic used to be interesting. Maybe it’s time to rethink why I’m buying it.

Now that X-Factor is canceled, Marauders takes the mantel of being the biggest waste of potential. This could be a swashbuckling adventure comic about a group of mutants building relations, righting wrongs, and delivering Krakoan medicine. Instead, I read as Jumbo Carnation complains about his "drip."

I still don't understand why there aren't more water-based mutants on Kate's crew, and while I'm not upset about Tempo joining up, I was disappointed in Duggan's handling of her.

I think Marvel should give this book to someone else, it has lost direction for some time now and it's become even worse since Duggan started writing X-Men, he's probably more focused on that one.

What a filler. This book reads like a generic Saturday morning cartoon.

Anyone else feel like nothing has happened in this book for the last dozen issues?

It's just wasting a bunch of amazing characters by giving them nothing to do.

Plotless comics is trash
