X-Men #14 finally gives the team something interesting to do, while the mysterious 3K group finally makes its presence known. Jed MacKay's latest script functions much better when it isn't hijacked by ill-conceived events and crossovers. Plus, Ryan Stegman's return to art duties is solid. Read Full Review

Ive been rather disappointed at the lukewarm reaction Ive had towards this book, despite being a huge fan of Jed MacKay, and the rest of his books hes put out from Marvel after his meteoric rise, but am glad that the books taken a turn for the better since he brought on Alpha Flight. Its giving me hope that this next year blows this last year out of the water. Read Full Review
Books not amazing but it’s still very entertaining and keeps me intrigued. People need to chill on Ryan’s art. It’s definitely pt his best work but it’s not enough to give the book a 1/10. Grow up.
The story was halfway decent for a change, but the art still sucks.
