Sep 26, 2024This issue was fun, deeply atmospheric, and beautifully rendered. The plot stuttered in a few places, but not badly enough to blur the intent. It's well worth picking up. Read Full Review

Nerd Initiative - Ken M.
Sep 25, 2024The new incarnation of Marvel's premier mutant team revs up the action and drama for another monster read. Simone's take on Rogue and her newfound mission continues to make for must-read stories. Marquez and the art team add in amazing imagery to perfectly complement an opening arc for the ages!

Sep 25, 2024Uncanny X-Men feels like the "must-read" book of the Marvel mutant line and that fact might just continue for issues to come if history is any indication. Read Full Review

AIPT - jonathan jones
Sep 25, 2024Uncanny X-Men #3 builds upon the first two issues, deepening the lore behind the Outliers and the newly christened Sarah Gaunt. The momentum unfortunately slows even further, but it promises to pick up next issue for some scary scenes and Logan's life on the line. The X-Men have barely had the chance to get through a single training session with the Outliers, but is that enough for them to be put to the test against such a monstrous opponent? Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 28, 2024Uncanny X-Men #3 is an oddly disjointed comic with strong emotional beats and interesting action. However, the pieces are clumsily assembled, presenting too many shortcuts and a schizophrenic sense of urgency. David Marquez's art pushes the emotional heart of the story, but Simone's plot structure and flow are rickety. Read Full Review

Every issue of the X-reboot continues to be a hit for me. Fantastic art, great writing and an interesting story. There were multiple nice character beats, like Rogue and Wolverine's breakfast chat, Nightcrawler's quipping during the danger room session, and the old man's laying out the rules of the house. I really like the new young characters and this issue gave us a welcome brief description of their pasts. They give somewhat of a "Giant Size X-Men #1" vibe of a group of new blood with varying backgrounds, not to mention they're just interesting on their own as well. Wolverine's current mood is understandable, and I appreciate how he's self-aware enough to put some distance between himself and the kids and I also appreciate Rog more

Plot Professor Xavier is visited by Sarah in Graymalkin Prison, she promises him that she will kill mutant children, it is her revenge against Xavier. Wolverine leaves the team because he feels that he can lose control with a fit of rage, it seems that something is affecting him. Rogue calls Nightcrawler to train the young mutants Sofia-JItter, Valentin-Ramson, Hotoru-Deathdream and Becca-Calica. Wolverine is attacked by Sarah on his way to the forest and Rogue senses it, he still has the psychic powers of the mutant child who died in #1. Gail Simone transports us to this era of painful aftermath after the fall of Krakoa, the X-men begin to reorganize as they can and Rogue is going to take the baton of a new team. Drama, myster more

A strong, if unspectacular issue. The Outliers continue to be entirely fascinating but there didn't seem to be much weight to this issue coming off the last one.

Another solid issue for the series that does a nice job of giving a bit of backstory for each of the new characters we got to see in the last issue. I think they all have potential, so I'm definitely intrigued to see where all of their characters go in the series. Aside from that, Marquez's art was fantastic, as per usual.

I liked it but pacing definitely slowed down here. And Nightcrawler being called a furry and liking it was peak stupid. Like he's religious, kind of hard to believe Nightcrawler would ever say something like that? I guess Gail Simone is into that furry crap? Not bad though, not as good as #1-2 or even #4.

Boy, did this title go downhill fast. The dialogue on several occasions turned to cringe. No man would ever describe another man as a "Tall drink of water," and Nightcrawler saying that he loves the fury community. What is even going on. I thought that Gail Simone might be able to make these new characters work, but they seem to be bogging down the story instead. There should have been only two instead of creating a whole other side team. Now, Wolverine has left the team. I'll give this another couple of issues before dropping it.

This series and Gail's characterizations are quickly becoming exhausting and feel inauthentic.
