Disaster charges toward the town of Merle, Alaska, as the X-Men are preoccupied with their own battle against the 3K X-Men. Only Magneto stands between the town and destruction - can he prevail even in the face of his deteriorating condition?
Rated T+
Stegman delivers beautifully detailed and visually thrilling art throughout the story. I love the intense imagery of the action a lot. Read Full Review
X-Men #17 stands out as a compelling chapter that combines action with introspection. MacKay and Stegman deliver a story that not only advances the overarching plot but also offers a deep dive into Magneto's character, reaffirming his place as one of Marvel's most nuanced figures. Read Full Review
X-Men #17 leans into Magneto's might and a kaiju-sized confrontation, offering thrilling art and a taste of big revelations to come. But those expecting more team-focused action may feel shortchanged by the issue's uneven focus. Still, the issue's visual grandeur and brewing plot threads suggest even bigger battles and twists ahead. Read Full Review
You'll hate 3K for the right reasons AND the wrong ones, while Magneto gives the villains a reminder of why he's been the premier genetic terrorist since day one. The art is a bit wilder than I prefer, but the issue is solid. Read Full Review
Cyclops's mini-monologue was the highlight of this issue for me.
I hopped back on the series after missing 10 or so issues and wasnt missing a beat. They are delivering on the action and character moments, with Magneto and Cyclops both getting fun moments here. Stegman and co. deliver strong art. Its just fun. Ill be sticking around for a bit.
A fight between the X-Men and any group that Cassandra Nova is part of should feel grand and important, not like an episode of the Muppet Show.
