Revisiting one of the strongest arcs of the previous volumes of X-Men creates one of the best arcs of the volume to date. The art is still and the writing is full of some fantastic threads. I can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review

An intriguing final reveal helps compensate for some of this issue's unfulfilled potential. Read Full Review

Gerry Duggan and Joshua Cassara get this series back on track with X-Men #16. From the chemistry of this new team to the surprising ending X-Men #16 pushes this series forward in multiple ways. It all works to build intrigue in where this series will go next. Read Full Review

As Forge and Caliban as a talking pullover sweater dives deeper and deeper into the Vault trying to save Darwin, we get another look at Krakoas new public team. Still finding the cohesion of this team to be a tad lacking thus far. Rather unremarkable character work, with middling art that just doesnt mesh with the writing style, it might be a rather forgettable arc in the Krakoan era. Read Full Review

Duggan's exploration of the Vault has ultimately been much less exciting than Hickman's, but the plot being rolled out is still ultimately quite interesting. Read Full Review

Some interesting future stories are set up in this issue, but we need to take some contrived steps to get there. Read Full Review

Wow I loved this issue! What a fun read with great character moments and fantastic looking artwork. Then we get to the last page reveal and as a huge fan of the character involved I was floored by the reveal and beyond excited to see what happens next!

The Children of the Vault aren’t that interesting to me, but the ideas in issue 15 and now 16 are really intriguing.

I really hope this book can keep up its current pace, because this is probably the best issue of the series thus far. The book as a whole was intriguing, but things really kicked into high gear when Scott and Alex started arguing. The fight against Perro was pretty cool, and Cassara's art only made it better. On top of that, the ending was straight-up crazy with the reveal of Laura's body in the Vault.

Very strong bounceback for Duggan.

This one was up and down and some things like the Summers brothers just don't gel with the story. Saved by the last page and Cassara's amazing art.

It looks gorgeous. The 2nd act feels slightly filler-y, but there's some good character insight (a rarity in this volume) underneath the fight.

And of course, there's The Big Twist™. I'm fascinated, but also apprehensive about how it'll play out. Interesting times ahead for Synch, that's for sure.

I wanted to HATE this, as Gerry Duggan's writing on this series has been lackluster: never truly bad, but never truly great, either! However, With this issue (and the previous issue, as they both seem to compliment each other in his CotV arc), he seemed to redeem himself for the moment (no Spoilers, y'all, promise)!

I am a bit late to the party, so most of what needed to be said has already been said, and pretty well, too, I might add! But, I will say this: **THAT LAST PAGE!!** If you haven't read it, you owe it to yourself!

Oh, and Cyclops going all Liam Gallagher on his brother? Priceless, really!

Generally cool but I'm still tired of the current villain being the strongest most unbeatable force in the universe until the next enemy. I'm not over that yet. Also the trouble caused by the Summers bros escalating like that? Both feel cliche.

I dont think it's as good as last issue, but it's fun. It doesn't feel pointless like a lot of issues in this series.

This one mostly didn't dazzle me, but I am deeply intrigued and excited by the implications of that last page
