CALL IN THE CAVALRY!
Even the best-laid plans fail. But above ground there are other mutants who've learned what's happening in the Pit and they aren't too pleased with the injustice of their fate. If Sabretooth and the others couldn't break out of the Pit, maybe someone will just have to break in.
PARENTAL ADVISORY
Sabretooth #4 proves that this is the smartest X-Men book being published. This is a perfect creative team, and the only problem with this book is that it will be over in one more issue. Read Full Review
Sabretooth continues to pull at the threads that make up Krakoa, showcasing the broken nature of the so-called paradise and the abuse of power, and what is called ‘justice' in this new land. This is a truly gorgeous, powerful, and heart-wrenching series that doesn't shy away from actually tackling not only the issues of this world but pointing out how those issues are inherent within our own world at this very moment.

It's remarkable how quickly Sabretooth has moved from its eponymous protagonist constructing his own Hell to the development of strange alliances and revolutionary sentiments on Krakoa. Each issue has cut to the quick of the issues at hand and shifted the story in numerous fascinating ways; Sabretooth #4 is no exception to that excellence. Read Full Review
Sabretooth #4 gets high marks. Not for what it is, a well-drawn but dialog-heavy comic, but for what it has the potential to be the spark that finally ends the Krakoan Era. That alone is worth the cover price. Read Full Review
Though it doesn't provide a lot of momentum or action, Sabretooth #4 nonetheless provides some introspection. Read Full Review
Great issue! Im really looking forward to seeing where this all leads.
First, the minor quibbles. The art remains solid, but the inker makes things mighty chunky. And while I'm glad to get the full story on the team's crimes (and Madison's surprising connection to the current arc of Wolverine), I do regret that all that info had to be squished into a datafile.
It's a shame this series is only going 5 issues. There's *tons* of material in that datafile; it could easily fill a series twice as long.
And I'm a big fan of how this creative team would do it.
They raise big philosophical questions (with plenty of applicability to contemporary society) while also probing deeply into the characters. And it's all sewn together with wickedly sharp, clipped dialogue that's simultaneously n more
Good stuff as we head into the final issue. I did like the bit of commentary made about those who are wrongfully imprisoned, though letting Sabretooth out of The Pit is still probably a bad idea for the rest of the mutants. Looking forward to seeing how this wraps up in the next issue.
once again the x men talk and nothing happens
