It's not a big, impactful event or a great saga. But there's something special here. Characters who are little remembered or underrated ,appear. Doop, Caliban, Feral (yes, they told me and I didn't believe it, but in the background if we enlarge the image we see her with a black dress and her unmistakable hair). Some justice was done.

I mostly enjoyed this book. With such a huge cast and so many stories to address it was always going to be difficult to completely nail it, but I enjoyed a lot more of it than I didn't. It was certainly distinct from a Gala, and appropriately somber as a Vigil. I especially appreciated Cyclops' reaction; it felt very in character to look at it through a more pragmatic lens and it took someone else to make him realize that something like this is needed. What worked least for me was all the Dazzler singing. I really like Dazzler as a character and I read her books when she gets her own, but any time there's "singing" scenes I skip all the lyrics. It's a lot of wasted time and page real estate. That's a minor gripe, though. My only other minor gripe is that the outfits were very subdued. I get that's also appropriate for this sort of event, but the flashy new outfits were always my favorite part of the Galas heh. Again, a tiny gripe and I completely understand why it was how it was. more

i would love to write a review on this, but honestly it's so boring and so stuffed with characters and writing styles and things i kinda like and i dont really that i dont know where to begin.
I understand the need to unite for a bit an era that is at its core very isolated, but in this issue also the different titles feel isolated and a lot of it feels dragged out. Also its overly santimental, not in the griefing for krakoa, but just in the characters interacting with each other. It does not ring true to them and to the nuances and maturity that those character are prone to displaying.

Just a mediocre release. Professionally made garbage. Storm deserves a better treatment.

It pains me to say it, but this was purest trash. The big scenes with Dazzler and Siryn are totally unbelievable, and the “romances” feel more forced and arbitrary than almost any on memory in X-Men comics. What happens to Dazzler simply would not be permitted by the X-Men—ever—and the whole “Graymalkin is a mutant prison now and the X-Men do nothing” story feels artificial and silly. This book badly needed editing and streamlining before it was ever allowed to be published.

I could write a detailed review, but I just don't know where to begin. Everything about this issue is horrible - the story, the art, the dialogue and especially the forced shipping of characters. Let's not even talk about Ororo's pregnancy test. It's as close to a saccharine Manga comic for girls as a superhero comic can get. You'd have to pay me to read another issue of this poor quality.
I'll probably check in again with the x-books in a few years, when all this woke bullshit has faded out of existence, but for the time being, I'm done. This was the final straw.
