The character drama and comic book excitement are second to none in this issue, featuring one of the biggest and coolest moments in the Krakoa-era. Read Full Review

Way Of X #5 is yet another X-book that feels like its ending before its time. Spurrier has done a bang-up job with Nightcrawler and Legion, threw love to lesser used characters like the Xorn twins and Doctor Nemesis, and built a great plot with Onslaught. While the book is getting its own ending, these characters and their stories are too interesting to lose right now. Itll be a shame to see this book go, but its been a great ride so far. Quinn and Tartaglia have really stepped on art, making the book look as good as it read. It will be interesting to see how everything pans out, but it would be better if the book was continuing.

My point is, Spurrier drives home perfect ideals as to human nature, life itself, and why resurrection for all would be doomed from the beginning. Readers, WAY OF X is the perfect series to read and discuss over a cup of coffee. I highly recommend giving WAY OF X #5 a chance. Nevertheless, its probably not the best issue to hop on board. Therefore, you need to grab the back issues or wait to get the trade. WAY OF X #5 is an example of invention and imagination at its finest. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

This ending redeemed a great many of the faults of previous issues, and it did so in a way that brimmed with revelation, genuine terror, and stellar art. I just can't wait to see what happens in the finale. Read Full Review

Quinn delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. There is great action and beautifully detailed characters and environments that catch the eye. Read Full Review

Bits and PiecesThe “creating a mutant religion” hook has all but disappeared from this series in favor of a corruption arc. While the writing and exceptional art make for engaging storytelling, the big revelations about Onslaught's method of attack could lead to big happenings on Krakoa IF Spurrier follows through. For now, this is a tentative reccomend. Read Full Review

Way of Xas a series finds its strength in posing philosophical questions and exploring those ideas. The Onslaught ideas are exciting and Spurrier lays some really interesting groundwork for his future X-work here. Read Full Review

Overall, Way of X delivers an action-packed issue that also really dives deep into philosophy and our interpretation of the Krakoan laws. There are some really heartfelt conversations in this issue that I enjoyed. This series seems like it has finally found its groove and I’m excited to see where it goes. Read Full Review

However this tale finds resolution in X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation, it has already made a monumental contribution to the most exciting era in X-Men history since Claremont and Cockrum initiated another. Read Full Review

This issue was fan-freaking-tastic. Nightcrawler was written so well here and the Phobos teleportation scene was just incredible. Super excited to see how this is wrapped up in Onslaught Revelation.

This was so great in so many ways, can't wait to read more of this.

Ugh, such a good issue. Spurrier said that this wasn't the end, and I really hope so. This is just such a good series. I need more of it.

This continues to be a fantastic book.

And to wrap up this arc, all of Kurt's inner conflict comes to a boiling head,quite literally.

Beautifully written issue throughout. Spurrier has a great feel of this character and what makes him tick and what makes him break, but also what he's willing to do when that happens.

The final pages of this book are powerful, as are Kurt's words speeded throughout the act. Proabbly one of the best moments we've gotten out of an X book this year. Its stuff like this that makes me love this character even more.

The conflict isn't completely resolved, as there are still other issues to deal with after this, but where it leaves these characters is at a great point. Cortez gets his due in a unique and fitting fashion. Legion takes a supporting role here but an important one. Kurt is the star of the show here.

I dont want to spoil too much. Just read this issue and this series. Its truly phenomenal. more

"We are this sacred land." I love it when I get chills from a comic book. Way of X is an ambitious story amongst an ambitious line or stories. Still, Spurrier handled it with graceful skill.

Kurt solves Krakoa's spiritual problems, but he also has to sacrifice himself to save Arakko and he loses his solution when he's resurrected. Legion makes great inroads on the Onslaught problem, but he can't solve it without Kurt. The plot's a little open-ended, relying on the upcoming one-shot to finish it off. Good LORD, this chapter is well written, though. (It's also well-drawn, but not as insanely great as it's written.) Tons of brilliant, needle-sharp insights in the dialogue, and there are terrific character moments. For Fabian Cortez, for Xavier, for Legion, and for Nightcrawler above all.

The best X title in a long, long time, sad to see it drawing to a close

Can't say I loved everything about this series but there is a lot I really liked-- using unexplored characters like DJ, the focus on Nightcrawler and exploring Cortez's personality.

Cortez's ending in the book was quite impactful like an unexpected twist at the end of a movie.

I docked a few points because bringing back Onslaught is dumb...using the same _very cool_ concept of the Patchwork Man would have been great for a brand new villain.

It was alright

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I liked how Spurrier explained Onslaught's way of attacking mutants' minds. On the other, the book just ended and the answers that Kurt was looking for are few and far between and those that are given are not as "revolutionary" as we were told all along. Yes, I know, there's still a one-shot after this so it's not technically over but I guess I was expecting something more. I also don't enjoy the way Spurrier chooses to portray Charles here, mainly because of his fondness for Legion. A good book for sure but I feel like it didn't reach the highs that it proposed to do. Maybe the one-shot will do, I hope so.
