He‘s just a bad artist. People have no real training anymore - actually, comic art has been declining in quality since the 90s, but it has reached a new low in recent years. Most of Marvel‘s books look horrible now.

Sep 17, 2026Releasing X-Men #37 alongside DNX #1 as two parts of the same story is a bold move from Marvel, but it works because of how it focuses on one part of a larger conflict and goes all in on a splashy artistic battle. Bottom line, X-Men #37 is the kind of issue you’d reread for the action and how it handles its lead characters. Read Full Review

Sep 16, 2026A great issue that is one of the best issues of the year. Jed MacKay pens an incredibly compelling issue that will make you want to re-read the issue again. Together with stunning artwork, this is an issue you can’t pass up on. Read Full Review

Sep 16, 2026X-Men #37 builds on a key plot point from DNX, displaying a psychic war in all of its glory. It also sets the stage for the future of Mackay's run, and that future might involve more of what X-Men fans have been wanting to see. Read Full Review

Sep 22, 2026It's definitely a fun little treat for the people dedicated to either the X-Men book or the DNX story. Even if you read ONLY X-Men and not DNX, it is a solid little side story. The fight scenes in this all look just downright amazing. Read Full Review

I guess if you hate the Morrison run, you wouldn't be a fan of this issue. I loved it.

We get Kid Omega which I think is just an awful character, vs Cassandra Nova who is an awful villain from the terrible Morrison run. So why not take what should have been a few panels in an issue and spread it out over 22 pages then sell it for $4.99. If you've been into the DNX story well, you've been robbed by the DNX #1 for $5.99 and now this. 2 issues in and nothing has happened that even begins the story you wanted to read about for $11 plus tax. it's insulting.this issue was a big nothing burger with uninspired art. Netho Diaz layouts have been slipping more and more. His panels get harder to understand at times and he simply gives up on any details during the X-men sentinel battle. IDK if he was rushing or simply doesn’t care, but more

This could have been a five page scene. Instead, we get endless crappy dialogue and a Phoenix ex machina solution that makes Quentin Quire‘s involvement completely redundant. Granted, there are some creative page layouts, but all in all, this is not a battle that needed a whole issue to be told.
Interestingly, there’s another issue out this month, that dedicates a whole issue to one duel: Redcoat #20. That book, however, has a good reason why it dedicates all of its pages to one fight, plus, it’s well executed. X-Men #37, in contrast, is just a (badly) drawn out subplot. -
