X-Corp got off to a hot start, but issue #2 is somehow even better. Read Full Review
Overall X-Corp exceeds all expectations. It’s a fun change to the x-books and gives us a more business centered book. Though it still has the drama and fun we have come to expect as well from our x-books. I can’t recommend this book enough. Read Full Review
X-Corp #2 tightens the pacing and narrows the focus a bit thanks in part to the Hellfire Gala, maintaining the intriguing potential of the series, but might not be enough to hook uncertain readers. Read Full Review
A stronger issue than the first as it leans into the character work and business storylines, while pushing the Hellfire Gala setting to its fullest. Read Full Review
Normally the need to immediately tie in to a separate event would stunt a book's momentum, 'X'Corp" keeps humming along in this issue from writer Tini Howard and artist Alberto Foche. Read Full Review
X-Corp #2 is a slight improvement over the first issue, but only a slight one. Its a bit boring but not terrible, and the Fenris plot puts some juice into the whole thing, even if it probably only should have been established here and expanded upon elsewhere. As an aside, David Aja, whos doing covers, is totally aping the covers from Grant Morrison and Chris Westons The Filth. Like everything else about this book, its obvious, cliche, and a little boring. This book is improving, but theres still a long way to go. Read Full Review
Monet and Warren scramble to interview prospective board members while also keeping the Fenris twins off their flying island HQ. A haute couture party is the perfect setting and it turns out to be right up Alberto Foche's alley; he makes these clothes work better than almost every other artist. This issue also properly delivers, in my opinion, on the corporate intrigue premise; backstabbing and double-dealing galore!
X-Corp is what happens when the absurdities of big business mix with superheroes; the absurdity becomes public.
Could we bring X-Factor back? I get that mistakes were made with that comic, but at least it was interesting compared to the business jargon X-Corp spouts.
This honestly isn't a bad title, but I think it could be so much more interesting than it is. It's just a slog to get through at the moment.
I don't understand what this book it about or what the motives of the characters are. I like Angel and Monet as the leaders of this organization but not a single other character is playing a role that feels natural.
This is too boring.
