Cain Marko has been a bully, a criminal, a terrorist, a super villain. And now he's an X-Man. But on a team of X-Men who have all, at one point, been villains, how does the Juggernaut stay a hero?

Jul 29, 2026X-Men #34 is a strong character study of the Juggernaut, getting by on carefully crafted scriptwriting. With MacKay shifting to more solo stories as X-Men races toward DNX, here's hoping that he and future collaborators keep digging deep into what makes the X-Men tick. Read Full Review

Jul 29, 2026X-Men #34 is a soft analysis of the current state of the Juggernaut rather than a deep dive into his character. The issue is meant to challenge him more than it’s meant to give any kind of exposé on the character’s past as a villain. All in all, it reads like something readers have seen before and is simple but has its nuance to a point. Read Full Review

Jul 29, 2026In the end, X-Men #34 is a solid story let down by its penciler. It was successful in making me look at Cain Marko in a new light and sympathizing with the Juggernaut. Unfortunately, that and the skillful support team cannot wholly negate Greg Land once again tracing naughty librarians. Read Full Review

Jul 29, 2026X-Men #34 lays out an unbeatable challenge for Juggernaut, which tests his mind more than his strength. MacKay’s aimless character piece has potential, but the setup and execution are too clunky to realize it. That said, the art team gives you plenty of visual pop to overcome the script’s weakness.

I quite enjoyed this standalone issue. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Juggernaut as an X-Man, but somehow McKay manages to tell an intriguing tale about identity and projection around Cain Marko by simply pitting him against an indestructible statue. This is almost genius, especially for an author I considered incapable of such a feat.
Greg Land, although not a favorite of mine, is the right artist choice for this story, rendering everything in grounded realism.
The ending could have been stronger, but all in all, this is an excellent issue that says something about human nature in a time when everybody is tempted to get radicalized, regardless of where they stand in the culture war.+ Like • Comment -

X-men #34. Juggernaut is upset by a statue of trask the sentinel creator and attacks it. However it’s protected by an unbreakable force field. So all issue we get some kind of introspection on Juggernaut before the X-men come to clean up this cry baby bitch. What was this issue besides nothing on a page ? Character work? Who cares. The X-men last I knew were battling the evil powered team lead by Cassandra and dark beast. All paused for this issue of nothing. Next time I’ll just burn $4.99 plus tax. Christ sakes man. Someone save the X-men !!
