Sabretooth and the Exiles #4 is yet another blockbuster of a comic. LaValle, Kirk, Beredo, and Petit have been putting out the best book in the X-Men line for a while now, and this issue keeps that up. Everything about it is great. Read Full Review
‘Sabretooth And The Exiles' #4 cruises towards its upcoming conclusion by peeling back the curtain to reveal the most expected yet effective of figures hiding in the shadows. This series continues to be one of the best of the X-Line, tackling some big real complicated situations through the metaphor lens that is so much a part of the X-Line. Read Full Review
A good mix of the awful truths in history and the struggle of mutants continues in Sabretooth and the Exiles #4. While Sabretooth's turn from a maniac killer to a thoughtful leader sympathetic to others feels like a stretch, it's a welcome development as the series drives toward its finish. Read Full Review
LaVelle, as a writer, had struggled in previous issues to balance out all the characters within this book, but as we cross the finish line, he's found his footing. An excellent job has been done balancing entertainment with commentary, and we've been set up for a stellar conclusion. Not only is issue #4 the best so far, but it has me looking forward to the next in a way I hadn't before. Read Full Review
Sabretooth & the Exiles continue to ground the mutant metaphor in real-world atrocities. Read Full Review
Once again, a good read. I'm intrigued by the change in attitude from Orphan-Maker, and I'm wondering if it's something that will be addressed or dealt with more in the next issue. It's kind of funny to me that I'm reading a book about Sabretooth and I've probably been talking/thinking more about Orphan-Maker.
I really enjoy the way this series interweaves Orchis' machinations with real-world examples of genocide. That sort of blunt realism is an aspect of the X-Men that I hope becomes used more.
This is a pretty choppy installment in terms of scene structure and plot developments. Things are happening rapidly, and this issue doesn't spend much time explaining their import. It's all illustrated pretty well, though, and past performance gives me confidence in the upcoming finale.
This was really, really badly written. The dialogue is just atrocious, and the story has gotten ridiculous. I'm shocked...I expected to like this. A lot of people seemed to enjoy Lavalle's work on Sabretooth, but the more I read the more disappointed I am.
Of course another multiversity plot.
