MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE VARIANT COVER BY ROGÊ ANT NIO The Iron Night!
What does the town of Merle, Alaska owe the X-Men? Where did the defunct Sentinel looming over the town come from? And more importantly, what was it after?
Rated T+
The nuanced conflict between the people or Merle and the X-Men has been enough for me to follow the series. Of course this is not all this series has to offer, there's plenty I refuse to spoil. The X-Men by Jed MacKay has a variety of reasons for everyone to love. The team roster, the new facility, or even Magneto's health issues. Not to mention the team's mission of rescuing "new mutants has taken them all over the country so far. If you are looking to jump into one of the new X titles from Marvel in the post-Krakoa era, X-Men by Jed MacKay is a no brainer. Read Full Review
X-Men #7 is a very strong entry, if not the best, as the Iron Night is finally explained and winds up being well worth the wait. Read Full Review
Netho Diaz delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the story. I love the visual contrast between the character moments and the action beats. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
Overall, X-Men #7 is a solid installment that continues to explore the complexities of the mutant world. The introduction of a new threat and the exploration of the Sentinel's origins add depth to the narrative. While the pacing might be uneven at times, the issue ultimately delivers a satisfying reading experience. Overall, X-Men #7 is a promising continuation of the X-Men series, with a focus on character development and world-building. Read Full Review
I'm very much enjoying this building comic, which nicely balances superhero action, storytelling, flashbacks and character downtime. Read Full Review
X-Men #7 is the fill in the blanks issue that this series needed, specifically for Cyclops and Magneto's characters. Read Full Review
X-Men #7 answers questions about the Merle Sentinel, Magneto, and young Piper, but the answers aren't particularly interesting or thought out, and the series appears to be standing still. Jed MacKay's take on the X-Men is quickly turning out to be a dud. Read Full Review
Another impeccable issue of this run. Incredible writing and plot, the art was only ok, but the story more than made up for it. The conversation between Magneto and Cyclops was absolute peak X-Men. Can't wait to see where this business with the young girl goes and why she doesn't show up on the scanners.
Plot
This comic tells the mysterious IRON NIGHT, which is when Magneto and Cyclops faced a Sentinel that attacked the town without explanation. At this very moment Magneto lost control of his powers and Cyclops had to make him lose consciousness. Magneto also develops a disease that degrades his movement. Magneto blames all the resurrections he experienced in Krakoa, and leaves the question of whether all the mutants who revived experience this same genetic degradation and stop controlling their powers.
The girl Piper Cobb is analyzed by Beast to find out if she is a mutant and was the reason why the Sentinel attacks her, the detail is that she has a rare mutation.
This comic shows a key moment before the X-men se more
"But the world doesn't wait for us to ask before it inflicts horrors upon us. All we can do is spite it by surviving or die. What will it be, Cyclops?"
Sure did pick a day to drop that line.
Not bad. The idea there is a price for the resurrections is interesting and the art is great.
Not a bad issue, just a lull. Magneto and cyclopes’ front porch beers were fun but this issue just felt kinda forgettable. I’m still excited for the next issue and what’s to come but this issue didn’t make me any more or less excited.
this has been a bit rough. Ryan Stegman is doing great, but it feels like Jed Mackay is channeling Grant Morrison's New X-Men run but it lacks the spark or the quirky Morrison writing. The Sentinel and the Magneto flashbacks make me feel nothing, and this feels like an underwhelming issue so far. If this continues, then I might pull the plug.
