A fascinating new take on the X-Men's continued fight for survival and recognition that will be fought in boardrooms and laboratories instead of battlefields and government black sites. Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 is a clever debut that sets the company and series up for some big things. Read Full Review

I, for one, am excited about this series and the complexities of industry Howard will seek to address. While the ongoings of Corporations and international bureaucracy might not be everyones cup of tea, this series is absolutely worth the time! Its Wallstreet meets X-Men. I mean, whats shadier than men with more money and power than they know what to do with? Read Full Review

The first issue finds a lot of ways to make X-Corp distinct from other comics. It leans hard into the business angle and finds ways to make that really fun and exciting. Read Full Review

While it's only the first issue, X-Corp already possesses an impressive blend of charm, action, intrigue, and personality that has made Marauders so special, and if this issue is anything to go by, we might just have the next must-read X-Book on our hands. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a very exciting debut for X-Corp. Marvel and X-men strike a home run yet again and showcases that even two years later, we're still just get started with the X-men. Read Full Review

Foche's classic art style works really well for this story. There is an element of polish to the art that reflects the kind of world these characters are operating in. Read Full Review

It'll be interesting to see if X-Corp can become like the 3rd corporation in human history to lead with their heart and a giving agenda for the entirety of this capitalistic step in mutant excellence. The grand Headquarters unveiling was a hell of a first step for X-Corp #1 and will have me checking back in when the next issue of X-Corp drops. Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 is a solid debut issue for the latest series to launch in the X-Men franchise. While not a traditional superhero comic there are a lot of intriguing elements that fans of the current direction fo the X-Men will enjoy. Tini Howard and Alberto Foche do a very good job in establishing Penance and Angel as co-leads in this series while also developing the opposition that X-Corporation will be facing all around the world Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 is an interesting start showing off the potential of the concept. It doesn't quite click though. There are moments that should be memorable and punch the reader in awe. But, those moments never deliver. They show off what's going on but miss that special something where you really take notice. Hopefully, this issue is just laying the groundwork and once that's accomplished we can move on to more excitement but right now, I'm longing to go back and re-read Wildcats 3.0. Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 feels like Part 1 of a TV pilot. The art and colors are solid, but it has too much setup and business jargon and not enough interesting storytelling. It does a good job establishing the team, who will likely be the main draw for this series, but not what X-Corp is actually going to be doing. This wasn't a strong first issue, so we'll see what the second issue brings. Read Full Review

X-Corp definitely has the potential to grow into something, but it's gonna be a wait-and-see until then. Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 is built on blending the X-Mens Krakoa Era with Wall Street, and it all feels too heavy on jargon and too light on entertainment. The issue struggles to satisfy, which is perhaps a symptom of the X-Men comics as a whole losing momentum. Read Full Review

An interesting premise gets dragged down in the execution. The dialogue is clunky, and the plot is too low stakes to invest in. The art is stiff and figures are awkward. However, when the issue works, it works and shows promise for the future. Read Full Review

X-Corp #1 is, at best, an underwhelming first issue. Howard doesn't really make an argument for why this book needs to exist, which is very important in a first issue. She mischaracterizes the book's star to make her fit the book, which is a shame because this book would be a lot more interesting with the old perfect Monet at its head. The plot itself is alright, but it's nothing special. Foche's art is clean, but it's also bland, and it doesn't really do anything to elevate a pretty mediocre comic. X-Corp's premise is so broad that it's worth sticking with to see how it will develop, but it's a bit of a chore to read. Read Full Review

A lot of potential, but a bit slow to start.

Big fan of the Hickman launch but the first title that I had to re-read back to back to fully understand what was happening. I read that this book is only a mini series. I'm hoping that by issue 3 that we have an understanding to why this book is needed or it might just land in my drop pile

Hmm, not really digging this so far. Really hoping it improves though, as I find the premise rather interesting, but too bad unfortunately it was executed too well.

Toooo much business.

Welcome to X-Corp, the bold new Krakoan business venture, where mutants will contend with boardroom intrigue, corporate espionage, hacking exploits, and … Ha ha, no, before the issue's done, we're back to good old anti-mutant prejudice and the usual explodey-shooty-stabby sort of antagonism. This premise is exciting in theory but a lot less so in execution. The chief problem is the author's trademark obfuscated plotting, which leaves readers asking "Why'd that happen?" at all the wrong moments. The art looks nice, though, and there's some cracking good dialogue. It's not bad, but it's hardly as daring as it wants to be.

Also, I have to point out, no matter how much this issue WANTS a flying corporate HQ to be revolutionary, Roxxon had that exact thing nearly 10 years ago in Thor: God of Thunder.

Holy crap that was boring. That seriously was a chore to finish.

There isn't soul on the characters, they look like robots saying bussiness jargons.Monet is he caricature of a angry black woman.
Things happen just because...
Art is very bad on the facs, Gho colors do a good job on backgrounds

Another book where Tini Howard writes the book as if she’s never read the X-Men before.

This isn't it. I dont care what the writer says Penance looks like a bitch. And Angel looks like a dunce.The frontrunners of this team are completely unlikable. Make Madrox and that hacker girl team leaders , because this writer cant voice Penance or Angel.
Too long of a book. This just wasn't it.

I've been loving most the X books of the Krakoa era so was so disappointed with this. Was a true drudge just to get through and a shame cuz I love these characters but looks like I'll be skipping this one from here on out.
