Genius. Student. New Mutant. Young Avenger. X-Man. As PRODIGY, David Alleyne has been all these things and more - but now he faces his most difficult challenge yet. Facing down his past and looking his present in the eye, Prodigy must fight to understand what mutant culture really means to those left behind by Krakoa... ...and how far he'll go to protect the mutants of New York City from a devastating - and dangerous - conspiracy of their own.
Rated T+
I think this was the most exciting NYX comic of this run to date. I was really hoping to hear more from Prodigy and the creative team truly delivered. Read Full Review
From start to finish, NYX #4 is a fascinating experience. Read Full Review
NYX #4 continues to remind us why this book is one of the best X-books around. For those of us who still mourn Krakoa and loved X-Men: Red's blend of superheroics and building out of mutant culture, this book is for you. Prodigy's spotlight issue finds him in a place familiar to so many, and it's inspiring to see him fight to dream a new dream in the face of a world telling mutantkind that their only options are to regress or die. Don't miss this book! Read Full Review
NYX has been a slow-burn to reach a sizzle, but each issue gets progressively better. Try it on for size, and you may be surprised how much you'll take to it. Until the next chapter, we've got you covered for all things comics here at The Comic Book Spot. Read Full Review
Out of all of the “From the Ashes” books, NYX continues to be my personal favorite. Don't get me wrong, the flagship X-Men titles are fun, but I was a massive fan of the Academy X series when it came out, and I'm thrilled to see these characters take center stage once again in a book of their own (along with their new friend Ms. Marvel). This isn't a team book in atraditional sense, and thecharacter-centric stories with a shifting focus between the core cast have allowed for a deeper connection to the plight of our heroes. Jackson and Collin have perfectly captured each of their respective voices and personalities in this series, and the art from Enid and Raul works beautifully to ground the characters in the world of New York.

Nyx #4 is the next X-Men book to broach the age-old question about who's right, Magneto or Professor X. While it manages to present this question in a well-constructed way with decent writing, it fails to do anything fresh with it and is simply rehashing old talking points. Read Full Review
Very good art, good writing and story. I was glad this one focused more on David and Sophie and Julian. This book is one of the lesser of the X-reboots but it's still very good. Julian co-opting Magneto's look was interesting and I'm interested in how this all plays out. Kamala still seems kinda out of place and awkward in the story, but at least it wasn't focused on her. David vs Julian next month will be great. David is one of my favorite newer X-Men characters, and he's been kinda meh overall in this book so far but it looks like he's getting back on track.
A few extra points for the art, which is good IMO.
