Sins of Sinister #1 is everything anyone can want from a kickoff for an event. Its well-written, full of killer art, and best of all, exciting and fun to read. The X-Men books can seem pretty event heavy at the best of times, but this issue shows that sometimes, thats a good thing. Read Full Review

The cream of the X-Men crop has been within the pages of Immortal X-Men. And hopefully, the individuals who have been distant from the X-Men decide to return after seeing Sins of Sinister #1 on the market. Its the perfect place to dive back into the Krakoan era of X-Men with an outstanding recap page, clever reveals, and story beats that will really get the reader thinking. I havent been this impressed by an X-Men book for quite some time. The layers are certainly meta, the story is masterfully crafted, and speculation and fan theories are almost never-ending. I highly recommend picking up Sins of Sinister #1 and hope you take a deep dive back into Immortal X-Menfor all the exact background details leading up to this event. Read Full Review

All of the artists deliver beautiful, exciting and visually engaging art on every page. The styles perfectly complement the story, the characters and each other. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister #1more than lives up to its name, as the mad scientist rewrites the Marvel Universe in his own image. This comic proves that the Age of Krakoa still has plenty of gas in the tank, especially with creators like Gillen and Werneck at the helm. But it's only the beginning, as the following weeks bring new glimpses into this strange and twisted world. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister #1 flips the X-Men's world upside down. Nothing is predictable and everything is a mystery. Kieron Gillen keeps us guessing what will happen next with our favorite mutants. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister #1 is an entertaining issue that feels like a one-shot thanks to the many event-caliber moments, all of which lead to a mystery cliffhanger to resolve in the tie-in series. Taking big swings, Sins of Sinister doesn't miss as it delivers big comics moments X-Men and Marvel fans will love. It sparks the imagination and is jam-packed with cool ideas and visuals. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister #1 is an entertaining start not only catching readers up but laying out when things get out of hand. There's an almost tragic aspect for our villain as he discovers he's not in as much control as he thinks. This is where the “smart person” finds out they're actually not that smart and there's a lot they haven't planned for that's now out of their control. It's an event that looks like it's keeping things fairly focused and if this debut is an indication, going to be a fun addition to the high bar that is “X events”. Read Full Review

With an intriguing narrative hook and gorgeous art from Lucas Werneck, Sins of Sinister #1 is sort of a no-brainer for me to pick up unless you're somehow a Sinister hater, who is a type of person that apparently exists and I pity for. Read Full Review

Alternate timelines and dark futures are familiar tropes throughout X-Men history, dating back to "Days of Future Past." Yet, the setup here feels fresh and exciting in ways a jaded comics reader might not expect. Read Full Review

Sins of SInister #1 provides an excellent backdrop as Sinister returns to his villain role. Read Full Review

Horror begins with a smiling face in this opening to an apparent alternate timeline. Read Full Review

Fans of Sinister may have some fun here with all the villain's monologuing but I'll admit to being a bit lost (and not caring all that much to try and figure out what the point of this ultimately might be). Although the crossover promises an epic story spanning a thousand years, none of the comics cross over outside of the X-Men comics into the wider Marvel Universe to any major titles. So despite the appearance of some Avengers here, I'd guess the entire episode will be largely ignored by the rest of the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review

It's comics like this that I'm so thnakfull of the medium.

OMG!!!!!!! I had a feeling this was going to be extraordinary and Kieron Gillen did not disappoint. I loved AXE Judgment day and he has kicked it up 1000 fold with this one. Its such a great time to be reading comics and if your not you are missing out.

Can Gillen pull off 2 successful x-events in a row??

I said Immortal X-Men #10 needed a strong follow-up. Welp, here it is.

The art and writing are good without being world-class. The story they weave, though, is breathtaking in its imagination, audacity, and integrity with what's come before. I can point to better-crafted comics/events, but few are as imaginative and intriguing right out of the gate.

Of course I know, I know, I *know* we're headed toward a reset button at the end--but the journey shows every sign of justifying itself regardless of its destination.

Intriguing start! In arcs like this, they always make defeating the rest of the world look too easy. This one felt a little more 'believable', for whatever that is worth. I'm interested to see where this goes

A really good opening issue that sets the stage for this larger storyline. Gillen, once again, writes Sinister very well here. While everything here is good setup for the few months to follow this, my, personally, favorite parts of this were the brief, one-page panels that showed the rest of the world's heroes/villains getting taken down. Ben Grimm murdering the rest of the Fantastic Four in the way that he did and Scarlet Witch's death were my absolute favorites here. Gillen continues to rise up my list of favorite current writers with this issue, not to mention Lucas Werneck's always fantastic art.

I caught up on essentially a year's worth of X-titles just for this event. It was totally worth it. The nuances in the current continuity are well respected, and also they matter to the plot. It's a cohesiveness that Big Two comics only dream of. I feel rewarded for catching up. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Pretty epic. If nothing else, it’s not a comic I’ve read before. Looking forward to more.

Very good. I'm surprised we didn't get a decompressed 24 issues to address all that transpired here but I bet it would have gotten stale quick. I'm glad they went this way and finally cracked some eggs to make this omelet. Lucas Werneck on art duty is great!

It's very good. That's it. I want to see everything being explained in the next issues.

This is gonna be fun, could have been a whole event onto itself but Marvel is showing some restraint.

Art: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 8/10

It was a pretty good issue. Very well thought out. This is the X stuff that keeps me going.

I know a lot of people liked this. I didn't dislike it, I just thought it was all over the place with truncated scenes that felt out place and disjointed with time jumps, etc. It's a really good idea about how to get out of the reincarnation fiasco, but by the time it's over, it doesn't even do that, since Prof. X has figured out a way to pull back on Sinister's formula. It just seems to make a lot of mistakes with a story that could have lasting ramifications. It just could have been told better. 'nuff said.

$6?! Miss me with that.

Ok,sounds good, but people like you are the same ones who always complain about comics being too expensive, characters too woke, storylines that are bad. It won't change as long as you idiots keep overpaying for books. I rather take the $6 and buy a newsstand copy of a Bronze/modern major key.

BG1904 - Jan 31, 2023

You're projecting a lot there buddy 🤣🤣

SinceAge7 - Jan 31, 2023

No, it's just ironic to see our hobby come to this but we refuse to change; troll comments like yours don't make it easier or fun.

BG1904 - Jan 31, 2023

Lmao I don't think you know what trolling is. You're giving someone's work a negative rating because you're broke, it is what it is my friend.
