To Anole - Last night, a mutant was killed in Greenpoint. His name was Shay, but he could have been any of us. I hope you'll come to the memorial. We have to show up for each other - or it's gonna be guys like the Truthseekers who decide what happens to mutants in New York City. I know it's different for you. How much you risk just leaving the house every day. And I know you hate all this super-hero stuff. But this is a fight worth fighting. - Kamala
Rated T+
I love where this is going with the NYX run so far. It's interesting to see Kamala have to experience the bigotry of humans while still trying to be her usually wholesome and kind self. The comic ended on a very interesting cliffhanger involving Sophie, so that's something I'm really excited to see play out. Read Full Review
NYX (2024) #3 continues to be something different. At its core, the comic is a story about finding a community and trying to connect to others. Read Full Review
Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, Francesco Mortarino, and Raul Angulo get all the pieces of the puzzle right in the NYX #3. Read Full Review
NYX keeps making a strong case for a younger mutant team to exist apart from the main teams. They aren't sanctioned with costumes and name badges but are trying to get by while also helping others. Read Full Review
Despite a few moments of overdone platitudes or shaky characterization, this new generation of NYX continues to possess potential. Read Full Review
NYX is grounded, relatable, and subway-deep. The least realistic detail is that gas in New York only costs $1.30. Read Full Review
New faces, old faces, new leases on life. Thats what this book feels like its aiming for, and while not perfect, has improved since the first issue. Seeing Anole become a Morlock could be an interesting dilemma. Hes queer, and a mutant with a very obvious mutation, that joining a group of separatists who prefer to hide in the sewer could come off as being tone deaf. Read Full Review
Great art, great writing. Loving the direction of this book, and I definitely like it more when it's not focused on Kamala. Anole trying to find some routine in his life is an interesting story, and this leading him to the Morlocks is a rational direction. Good book.
The first two issues succeed in telling extremely personal stories for Kamala and Laura. This issue didn’t deliver the same level for Anole, nor did it move the story along much, though it was still a strong issue.
