They've been fired, arrested, thrown out, beaten and betrayed: NYC is putting MS. MARVEL, WOLVERINE, ANOLE, PRODIGY and SOPHIE CUCKOO through the wringer. But there's no time to rest: A riot's brewing where the machinations of THE QUIET COUNCIL and the hatred of the TRUTHSEEKERS will come to an electric collision - for the fate of every mutant in the city!
Rated T+
NYX #5 (2024) cements the community concept. Where the previous issue leaned heavily into becoming a superhero book, this chapter returns to being about a city, a diaspora of people, and a friendship group. Read Full Review
NYX #5 may be Sophie Stepford's solo issue, but she sure isn't alone as the cast comes together in the first arc's finale. Superhero stories are inherently political stories, the X-Men moreso than any other, and even more than most other current X-books, NYX has made no attempt to pretend its not a political book. Saving the day for the oppressed doesn't seem to match the world outside our windows these days, which makes NYX #5 an interesting balancing act. Even in small victories, so many other hopes for change can end up in ash, but just as the ash remains so do we. It's not a call to hope or to celebrate, but to live. Read Full Review
Overall, I've been enjoying NYX and have loved the story we've gotten. I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next for these mutants and their time in NYC. Read Full Review
