    Zeitgeist's front is starting to crumble, but The Orphan finds himself having to compromise his own values to keep up with the X-Cellent. Things are really building to what could be a killer conclusion, which I hope is just the arc and not the series as a whole. Read Full Review

    I would recommend this one if you are a fan of the X-Men but want some other characters in the same area of comics and a newer storyline that doesnt really as much on what has happened before. Read Full Review

    Readers were left with plenty of loose ends previously in The X-Cellent #5, and the new #1 does an excellent job reminding them where the story left off while heading directly into new misadventures and twists that range from the idiosyncratic to outright disgusting. Read Full Review

    The X-Cellent's return to the comic book world continues to showcase the series' unique storytelling techniques, offering a modern twist to their underrated heroes. Although the first issue doesn't have the same impact as last year's return, it sets up a stage for more interesting adventures to come with the same cultural relevance and self-aware humor. Mike Allred's pencils continue to be the highlight of the title, even when some of the gags fall flat. Read Full Review
