Garron delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are lively and filled with amazing details. The art is truly immersive and brilliantly matches the tone of the story. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #6 is a strong prelude chapter to the upcoming "Raid On Graymalkin storyline. The stakes at hand are made clear with Doctor Corina Ellis coming into her own as a long term X-Men villain. Read Full Review
The next phase of the Outlier saga lays a convincing starting point in this chapter. Simone balances the uneasy drama of humans and mutant life with string writing. Garrn, Wilson and Cowles generate memorable images as the X-Men find out life after Krakoa isn't slowing down any time soon. Read Full Review
Overall, Uncanny X-Men #6 is a fun and heartwarming read. It's a refreshing take on the X-Men franchise, focusing on the everyday lives of young mutants. The blend of humor, drama, and mystery makes for an enjoyable reading experience. Fans of the X-Men will appreciate this unique take on the classic team. Read Full Review
All in all,Uncanny X-Menis shaping into the title it seems Simone planned for now with the introductory arc out of the way and Garron steps in as the artist in this new phase of the book. The X-kids are still the biggest draw of the book and I am interested to learn more about Ransom, Jitter, and Deathdream in particular. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #6 is a mixed bag of interesting moments and genuine connection between the characters overshadowed by a clunky, disjointed, plothole-riddled script. Gail Simone masterfully executes the heartfelt scenes between the characters, but the general plot is unfocused, and things happen without a plausible setup. Read Full Review
Classic X-Men drama, I'm loving the new characters and one of them might be the "mutant who sees all other mutants die", intriguing. The school bully was pretty cookie cutter, but he wasn't the focus anyway. Great stuff, my only complaint is the art took a bit of a dip in this issue, same as last. We need David Marquez back.
nothing substantial really happens
This issue was torture. While there is an attempt at actual storytelling, nothing really works. It’s particularly frustrating when Simone sets up an important character moment for Calico, but then makes her change her attitude completely out of the blue. Rogue credits Gambit’s people skills, but he did nothing to cause such a dramatic change from one panel to the next. Weird!
There’s also a lot of hugging and cutesy victim mentality stuff that obviously caters to the younger woke generation of readers, but will most likely p*ss off older readers. I certainly have had enough of this title.
