Pina delivers some fantastic visuals in the issue with great character design, scope and wonder. The art is beautifully detailed and the action is thrilling. Read Full Review
Now that the Lives/Deaths minis are over, it finally feels like the team is beginning to gear up to headline the next era for the team. Especially once we get the new roster during the Hellfire Gala thats coming. Its sad that this teams already about to change, but Im excited at the prospects of what theyll do with the new team once its established. Read Full Review
Wolverine takes center stake in an adventure that shows off what some the toys in the sandbox can really do. Read Full Review
This issue isn't by any means a jumping-on point, but it's a very well-done issue, focusing on Wolverine as she fights one of her dad's nastiest foes, with more behind-the-scenes maneuvering and politicking than a week in Congress. Read Full Review
This one will delight Wolverine fans, with Rogue getting a few standout moments. Read Full Review
Overall X-Men #10 was a strong, character focused issue that served to build up the greater plotline around the Orchis organization. Duggan and Pina worked well together to showcase Laura Kinney's Wolverine as we see how far she has come. When X-Men #10 is done you are left looking forward to what comes next with the bigger picture being developed in this series. Read Full Review
Overall, X-MEN #10 wasn't a bad issue by any stretch, however, it just lacked purpose and randomly decided to morph the story into a Rogue and GAMBIT jumping on point leaving this reviewer curious as to how it fits with the story before as well as the story moving forward. Sure, it brings up Gamesworld but that's basically all it does. Read Full Review
The Gameworld plot begins to kick off this issue, which might be the most exciting thing about it plotwise. Hopefully, though, the next issues can keep up this trend of utilizing the cast more fully because the X-women on Gameworld just sounds like a blast. Read Full Review
X-Men #10 is pretty good when Duggan isn't doing too much, so the Wolverine scenes work very well. It's nice that he finally remembered to do something with her after ten issues of her barely doing anything worthwhile, but that's a deficiency of how he plots the book in general. Pina's art is weak in a few places but is overall very good, pairing wonderfully with Gracia's colors. Any issue of X-Men that's above mediocre is rare, so this one is a pleasant surprise.

Not a whole lot happens in this issue either story or character wise. The art is still to-die-for. Read Full Review
Laura stays winning.
Loved this! I'd love to see Laura get a solo title as well as the X-Men book
This was already a great issue, and it features a guest appearance from my favorite marvel character, so it gets extra points.
This comic has been a little thin overall, but this issue has some meat on its bones and is a good, fun Wolverine story, and Javier Pina maintains the book's consistently high artistic standards
It's a cocktail mixed according to this title's usual recipe: A one-shot adventure garnished with tiny bits of plot and character development, with beautiful art serving as the main mixer.
This month I find the drink tasty enough to set aside (partly) my usual complaints about the title being formulaic and shallow. The humor's working for me, for a change.
But my expectations for future installments remain low.
The book has improved, but the title still feels like it has VERY little room to breath.
It works! I like to have this A-Team parallel with the Immortal/Council Team and I like how both deliver on their promise. Pina is really good at adjusting his art to match Pepe Larraz's style and Gracia's colors keep it looking like a mirror.
A bit of filler never killed anyone.
This was a fine issue, but not my favorite whatsoever. Wolverine’s stuff was cool, but my favorite part of this was the last few pages with Rogue. He interactions with Destiny and Rocket were well-written, and I can only hope we delve more into the ongoing plot very soon, as we’re 10 issues into this run.
"Oh crap, Laura and Deathstrike are falling from space to their deaths! Only Rogue can save them! It's dramatic!... So we won't show you the actual scene and jump cut to something else!".
Anyway, good issue.
I continue to enjoy Duggan's work on this series. It's classic superheroics meets Krakoa and it just works for me. I like how he's explored each member's motivation for joining the team, and the slow-building plots really feels like we're heading toward something grand down the line. I'm also always up for a classic Wolverine issue and Duggan and Pina provided that in spades.
It showed flashes of a good story and had good art. Overall, decent.
It had its moments but overall this felt a bit souless
With X-Men Red and Immortal being as good as they are, this series just feels like it's in the way. Hopefully they'll give Duggan a small irrelevant corner of the X-Men universe to play in and not interfere with the better series.
All the characters voices seems so off, Rogue and Destiny it's a big disappointment after all these years apart and the text it's so cheap and generic
