Rated T+
R. B. Silva, Adriano Di Benedetto, and Rain Beredo are an artistic force to be reckoned with. The colorful and lively art is a major factor in the book's consistent appeal. These are some of the best action sequences in Marvel comics, every page is bursting with color. It's like biting into a Gusher filled with color. Read Full Review
Ultimately, I enjoyed this issue, but I feel like it could have been condensed and added to last issue. All in all, a few more steps forward in Cross Time Capers! Read Full Review
"Cross Time Capers" comes to a close in a very unexpected way that might change how readers react to this series moving forward. Read Full Review
So all in all I felt like the plot was strong there are some fantastic dialogue scenes in this issue which really hit home that, the 05 team even thou they may want to stay in the future must have to go back home at some point. Read Full Review
X-Men Blue #20 focuses too much on over explaining its timeline and not enough on the team's character beats. Read Full Review
Raze Is Dead!
The O5 team saves the day and gets shunted back to the present. There is much plot-unpacking discussion, and the team now believes it is their destiny to return to their Silver-Age-y origin point somewhere in the near future. Cullen Bunn is so enamored of (or, less charitably, overwhelmed by) explaining his timey-wimey plot that there's no space left in the script for clever character work or inventive fight mechanics. It's a real shame, because RB Silva and the rest of the visual team came ready to WORK. They make the best of the script and paint vibrant pictures, but there's no real emotional impact to the scenes they portray so colorfully.
