THEY CAME TO SLAY!
The HELLFIRE GALA rages on, but bigger things are afoot a world away. Make no mistake - this is an X-Men book drawn by superstar artist Pepe Larraz. It is absolutely the most important issue of the month.
48 PGS./ONE-SHOT/Rated T+
Planet-Sized X-Men #1 is an issue that delivers on it's namesake in all departments, be it writing, drawing, colors, or letters. In years to come when we as fans are talking about defining issues of the current era. This book will be one of those books we talk about. This is an essential installment if you are following the Krakoan era. Read Full Review
Overall Planet-Sized X-Men is a triumph and one of the best comics of the year. It's so fantastically crafted and packed with gorgeous art and colors. This definitely gives us a look at the bold new direction the mutants are heading in and I'm all in on this ride. Read Full Review
The title is almost misleading in that the book should be called "Galactic X-Men," because this story is Marvel's mutants literally transcending earthly things and doing it in style for all of humanity to see. Duggan is bringing the big ideas of "doorstop sci-fi books" to superhero comics, and it's more than worth the price of admission. Read Full Review
"Planet-Size X-Men" #1 tells an epic, electrifying story that reminds you what superhero comics are capable of Read Full Review
Larraz masterfully illustrates this story with gorgeous details on every page. The art literally creates a new world of dizzying beauty. Read Full Review
Planet-Size X-Men #1 more than lives up to its name, expanding the X-Men's reach into outer space and boasting a story and visuals worthy of a science-fiction blockbuster. With the creative team slated to take over the mainX-Men title this July, I can safely say that the merry mutants are in good hands. Read Full Review
Planet-Size X-Men takes things to the next level. It's an epic story that has huge implications for the future of the Marvel universe. It also in ways celebrates the past with numerous references to the history of the X-Men. If you thought House of X/Powers of X changed the status quo, this is up there on that level. This is one no X-fan should miss out on and shows the god-like power of the X-Men. Read Full Review
Yet, as intriguing as this issue was, I left feeling as though Ive seen this trick before. Plus, I wonder where this is all heading. How does this fit into the larger picture of Hickmans vision for this series? How does this affect the other storylines and plot threads involving Nimrod, Moira, Mystique, and so much more? Its as if we continue to get more questions without answering any of the prior inquiries. In the short term, PLANET-SIZE X-MEN #1 has certainly piqued my interest. However, the fireworks factory is looking farther and farther out of reach with INFERNO on the horizon. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God bless! Read Full Review
Planet Size X-Men is a very good book that will have a huge impact on the X-Men and how things are done in the very distant future. Gerry Duggan wrote an issue that feels right in line with how Jonathan Hickman has been doing things. The art paves the way for your eyes and makes every page a joy to look at. Planet Size X-Men won't disappoint. Read Full Review
Planet-Size X-Men #1 is a great read. Duggan and Larraz give readers a breathtaking look at the re-creation of a biosphere, and its a move that looks to have massive repercussions on human-mutant relations in the future. That said, its a little too convenient for the plot and actually one of the least intelligent moves Krakoa could make. All in all, its a good comic. Read Full Review
Planet-Size X-Men may primarily be spectacle, but it is an impressive spectacle and one that will leave hungry X-Men readers even more eager to see what comes next. Read Full Review
Armed with the same art team as House of X #1, Planet-Sized X-Men #1 is a turning point comic, a book that seeks to (and largely succeeds at) launching the next chapter for the Krakoa era. Read Full Review
Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz set out to make a statement with Planet-Size X-Men #1 and they did just that. All of the Omega-Level mutants in the X-Men franchise uniting to make Mars into a livable planet like Earth was incredible to watch. Adding in the ongoing politics for Krakoa and tying that into Magneto to turn Mars into Planet Arakko created greater depth to the story taking place. Putting all this together makes this a can't miss comic book for X-Men fans. Read Full Review
Planet-Size X-Men provides an exciting next step for the mutant nation of Krakoa that I did not expect. Such a cool display of power from our beloved heroes seems like they are getting another shining moment in the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
This is a very big swing for X-Men comics, but the cyclical nature of comics prevents me from getting all that excited about this new development. Read Full Review
If you are reading the various X- books, then this may well be a killer issue for you. For the rest of us; it's a complicated mess of storylines that fail to conclude and are further extended, almost past the point of me not caring. Read Full Review
This highly anticipated issue is a sweeping epic that sets up hundreds of stories to come for the X-Men and the Marvel Universe as a whole. However, it's missing a personal, human touch that could really push it into territory from good to great. Read Full Review
Planet Size X-Menbrings an exciting future, but suffers from having its most exciting reveals spoiled already by Marvel's marketing and previous issues in the Hellfire Gala event. Read Full Review

just amazing
One of my favorite single issues ever and definitely my favorite thing ever written by Duggan. There’s so much more wonder and excitement to be drawn from the premise of the X-Men than just fighting. This was a beautifully rendered tale of cooperation and the power of a group working with a singular purpose. Pepe Larraz is the true star of the Krakoan Era, and this book is a blazing reminder.
This was epic. Don't really understand the hate this issue got. I loved it.
Also, Pepe Larraz is the best X-Men artist of all time. No contest. He's proved that several times over since the start of this new era for mutants.
This was a crazy issue. It's kind of the X-Writers flexing too, as so much of what happens here is predicated on what came before across pretty much every title. The amount of synergy and continuity in this entire era of X-Men is something that should be taken note of. I just feel like this sort of thing is underappreciated in comics, for some strange reason. It's so important, and when it's done right, it enhances the experience.
Finally, Magneto backs up the claims he made in House of X/Powers of X. The X-Men really are the new gods of Marvel.
This was awesome! Love seeing the mutants expand further into space and it's cool seeing more mutants from Arakko playing larger roles in the main narrative. I thought Duggan did a great job with this one-shot. The characters' voices were on point. The stakes really feel like they've been raised. And even though this was an entire comic composed of X-Men and allies terraforming Mars, the creative team made it all exciting and engaging. I'm now more excited than ever for Duggan's X-Men run!
Awesome art and awesome story. I am really glad Duggan and Larraz are taking over X-men
I'm giving this a 9. I wanted to give it a 10 but I'm kind of tired of data pages, even though I do enjoy them sometimes. I thought this issue was fantastic all around. It might be the best thing Gerry Duggan has ever done. The art was ridiculously gorgeous, pencils and color. What a damn beautiful book. It's not just about the art though the idea of Mutants creating their own planet within a few hours and even a brand new S.W.O.R.D. space station is just absolutely bonkers. I see some low scores up and down but not everything can be everyone's cup of tea, I guess. I think this is the most exciting X-Men has been in decades and I feel like there's absolutely no reason to ever go back. This new era, they've been building so much, to ever win more
Art alone makes this worth the price of admission. Combined with this landmark story? Its not perfect but its close enough.
Nothing short of epic. Who needs reality warpers when mutant's specific powers bounce off one another to truly change an entire world. And all to give a home to one of their neighbors of warring mutants. I wonder what the grand finale of the Hellfire Gala will be.
I've taste for space adventures and this one completely pleased me. X-Men in Space is a visual delight accompanied by a good narrative.
Overall, it was good. Pepe Larraz and Marte Garcia's art alone is worth the ticket. I mean if this didn't have Larraz's art, the score will be a 7.
The implications are huge and universe reaching here. While Duggan did a decent job stapling this narrative together, he failed in imitating Hickman's style. I'm not sure why he did that? Maybe following him wasn't going to work out for anybody. His data pages are also not very good. Usually these setup issues will suffer because they have to do the heavy lifting and this one did. I hope he just does his thing with the X-Men book later on and forget trying to be Hickman.....it doesn't work well for many writers.
Okay, that's a good reveal. Good fireworks. It looks spectacular; the artist did a formidable job. I stand by my lowball ratings for the earlier issues that teased this, though; I firmly believe they fumbled the build-up.
For the remaining Gala issues, the celebrity cameo that I'm gonna be looking for is "pissed-off Elon Musk."
Pepe Larraz's art is awesome. The idea of terraforming Mars with mutant powers is clever, but aside from sort of setting up a new status quo for Arakko and the Omega level mutants flexing, there's not much to it. Creativity of the Arakko mutants off the charts though.
"Hello from Mars ! Well, you were promised fireworks"
- ICEMAN
"It's a fascinating question: Can a circuit of our most power-ful mutants resuscitate a dead word?"
-Magnus.
And this is how Magnus begins to lead a handful of mutants on a journey to build a new place for all them.
Marvel is driving me crazy with these titles, this is possibly be the overture of the most important title and they can achieve it if they do not loosen up and I hope they achieve it for the first number has hit many of us with everything.
not that bad actually. apparently the x-men are going to a different planet, which is why its called Planet-size.
Thats a pretty good joke, not going to lie.
I was all excited because this was touted as the next big thing in X-Men, and while this can set up some huge things to come, I felt like it didnt have the feeling that HoxPox gave me.
I gotta be honest, I usually been loving these Krakoan xmen events but this one was a huge disappointment as the penultimate issue for the Hellfire Gala. As far as the story goes , it basically feels like a over padded sequence or montage with Magneto's big plans. Unfortunately, the issue frames this plan as a solution to the arrako problem which is basically introduced to us in this issue. This only highlights the criticism that we barely gotten any development on arrako since X of Swords. I also felt a bit underwhelmed as to this big momentous reveal. Maybe other issues will explain why this is so important. Also, I will double down on the criticism that Duggan is trying to hard to imitate Hickman and not in a good way. I can only imagin more
The story was all over the place, the Gala was barely in the book, Duggan's writing was as insipid as usual. I loved the art but it couldn't save the book. The implications after this should be major, though. If mutants conquered a planet and declared it the capital of the Sol system and its ruler the regent of the system, humanity would be pretty dumb not to fight back fiercely, they are justified to attack now.
Without a doubt a great art, the dialogues, the development was a bit boring.
Meh.
duggan witing is extremely boring, he is trying to imitate Hickman
Eeryone already knew the plot
