PARENTAL ADVISORY
Sabretooth And The Exiles #1 is an interesting animal; its both a sixth issue and a first issue. LaValle, Kirk, Beredo, and Petit are an excellent team, and this issue should leave readers salivating for what comes next. Read Full Review
‘Sabretooth And The Exiles' kicks off the second chapter of this series that continues to pull apart Krakoa and the Marvel Universe and speak to the injustices there reflected from our own unbalanced reality. A series that pulls no punches when diving deep into systems and those they harm/leave behind while also providing fantastic character depth and development for some of the forgotten or left-behind mutants of Marvel.

Every page of this book serves the maximum effect possible, as the adventure of this renegade team of outcasts leaves us with questions and threads that tie to eugenics, capitalism, solidarity and tons of messy blood. Read Full Review
If you had any doubts, Sabretooth & the Exiles is an excellent issue that improves upon what came before it. Not only does it set up Orchis--one of the main mutant villains right now--in an impressive way so that you genuinely hate everything about them, but it gets the team dynamic written for the motley crew of mutant rejects. Sabretooth & the Exiles validates the villains to rise up and fight, which is apleasure to read. Read Full Review
Sabretooth & The Exiles #1 is a debut that holds nothing back, setting the stage for a story as fierce and compellingly complicated as its namesake protagonist. Read Full Review
Sabretooth & the Exiles #1 is a solid start to the continuation of the Sabretooth limited series. The action is energetic and bloody. The new villain is truly villainous (a rarity these days), and this issue acts as an excellent jumping-on point for the next phase in Victor's journey to fulfilling Destiny's prophecy.

Sabretooth and the Exiles #1 proved to have nuance in the characters and plot that I was not expecting. Read Full Review
Deeply satisfying. And I'm so glad this is the creative team inheriting Nanny & Orphan Maker's plot from Hellions, they're just right for the job.
A super solid first issue for the continuation of LaValle & Kirk's previous Sabretooth miniseries. What's funny is the thing I'm the most interested in is the thought of Orphan-Maker's suit being opened by Barrington. Aside from that, I'm hoping the story we get here ends up feeling a little more complete than the aforementioned previous miniseries felt on its own.
The earnest desire to spend time on Sabretooth, and all the Exiles, and the villain leaves the structure as a whole feeling a bit scattershot, but all the pieces are enjoyable.
When it comes to the details, there are some nice panels in the art and rather more cool lines in the prose.
It's a highly readable continuation of the last Sabretooth series -- though I suspect this will be even better as part of a binge read rather than as a single issue.
I'm not sure. The art is fine but somehow lazy in his storytelling. The plot is similar to an arcade video game.
