The public is going gaga for the X-Statix! But do their methods for reaching stardom justify the ends? And can Zeitgeist make his way back into the mainstream - or is he totally washed up?
Rated T+
The X-Cellent is aimed square at those with a sure appreciation of irony and twisted humor, and it regularly lands its punchlines in that zone. Read Full Review
Come for Allred’s art, stay for the satire. This series continues to live up to its predecessors, lampooning celebrity and comics culture, and remains reliably unpredictable.
I don’t know why Milligan makes every character stutter constantly, though. It makes sense for Guy, but everyone is constantly doing it and it drives me nuts! But when my complaints are that small, it means the series is doing most everything right.
I'm still not a huge fan of this X-Statix revival, but I think I'm starting to gel with it a bit better.

The author gets closer to paydirt by drilling down on the bad guys; that's where the interesting story is.
So now we've got a compelling plot to go along with the entertainingly broken characters, and of course there's still beautiful art in the mix. But this remains a quiet echo of the olden days rather than a real return to form.
