Dear Marvel, please dont fail us by ending the Krakoan Age of Marvel mutants. I want to keep buying the stories of the characters I love. Read Full Review

This book is full to bursting with incisive characterization, explosive action, passion, pathos, and fun. It's a remarkable end to what was, by and large, a tremendous Marvel event. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 concluded a complicated storyline with extreme skill and set up future storylines. Read Full Review

IfSins of Sinister: Dominion #1 accomplishes anything, it's tying up an entire event with ease. Sinister is once again being challenged, and it is satisfying to see him balk after so much horror. With intrigue bleeding from the pages, it will be fun to see where Marvel goes now that theSins of Sinister is finally at an end. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 felt like a kid cleaning up his room quickly for his parents by shoving everything under his bed and into his closet. Fans will be left with too many questions and wondering about the point of this event other than setting up what's to come. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister: Dominion wraps things up well but like the event itself feels like it needed more space to do so. Overall, the event was an interesting one skipping through time over three series bookended by two issues. It delivered pieces of the overall story, forcing readers to put the dots together. The finale doesn't totally do that but definitely could have benefited from fleshing some aspects out a bit more than it does. If nothing else, it sets up what's next to come, and that might be more interesting than the event itself. Read Full Review

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 is a fitting ending for the story. The writing and art are both well done, but it cant really fix the disquiet this story leaves in a reader. The Krakoa Era is one unfolding story, and at the end of events, it feels that way the most. SoS is all the weaker for it, and this ending plays into the feeling that plots are just pieces moving on a board. Read Full Review

Elements of time travel, interstellar intelligences, and genetic manipulation are all at play in "Sins of Sinister"'s alternate timeline, and they promise readers that this era of expansion and ambition is far from over. However, they fail to deliver a satisfying ending for the event itself. Read Full Review

My favorite part of this is one Sinister realized another version of him is already a Dominion. Beautiful.

Sinister having THAT epiphone was master class

Awsome!

Nice.

It's indisputably drawn and written well. But the storytelling craft isn't the main attraction here; it's the *absolutely crazy* changes the event makes to the status quo.

I was thoroughly satisfied while reading the resolution of the "bad future" segment. But the return to the present has me positively champing at the bit to find out what comes next.

A very interesting conclusion to the Sins of Sinister event. Sinister is one of my favorite X-Men characters, so I really enjoyed how he was written here (something Gillen has been fantastic at time and time again), but of course it was also bittersweet to see him lose. If you read my review for Immoral X-Men #2, you can probably guess that I'm glad Rasputin IV has traveled to current time. I'm really excited to see where her character goes from here. Truly an exciting time to be an X-fan.

Well done! An issue that does plenty to save this mini-event. Great work from Gillen to save this sinister timeline from Mr. Sinister by another Sinister and who the heck is already a Dominion? Another new Sinister? This makes it better than Judgement day overall. Paco Medina and Lucas Werneck delivered great art colored all by Valenza seamlessly fitting each artist's style and I'm glad they split it the way they did.

I read the alpha or whatever. Did not read any of the in between. And while there was a part of me that felt I missed some things, it still made sense and actually did a good job of making care.

Is it bad that I want those 4 characters to stay in the pit-- at least for a while?

Art: 3.5/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 7.5/10

I lost connection or investment in the characters with each time jump so the first half of this issue dragged for me but the second half was fantastic with typical Gillen execution.

What a nothing event. High concept after high concept, no fun at all. The only meaningful things were happening in Gillen's issues, everything else was just wasting time. Time jumps between 10,100,1000 didn't matter at all, they were so abrupt that I felt only detachment from the event.
Gladly this issue is written by Gillen and actually focuses on Sinister and has some interesting stuff in the end setting up Fall of X. Only those parts matter but they shouldn't have been converted into an event. I just wish it was only a single-series event focused on Sinister. Ewing and Spurrier failed at interesting worldbuilding creating bland high concept sci-fi that wasn't engaging.
X-men truly don't need so many events that tanks the whole momentum for the 3 series. Every week I was more interested in other X books than in SoS issues and that's telling. more
