X-MEN BLUE #28 may be rushed in places, but that doesn't detract from the classic cast of characters and the fantastic art. Bunn has struggled to create a successful arc in "Cry Havok" -- what with the poor beginning issues. However, I definitely think that, with this latest issue, his goal has finally been achieved. The Mothervine story is unique, entertaining, and aesthetically beats most of the X-MEN BLUE arcs that have come before it. Read Full Review

While some subplots wrap up a little too easily, enough new ideas are introduced to keep this series exciting. Read Full Review

X-Men: Blue #28 was a pleasant surprise to read. While Ive had my problems with the title in the past, it looks like it could be turning a corner, as I quite enjoyed #24 too. In any case, this issue earns a recommendation. Feel free to check it out. Read Full Review

X-Men Blue is a comic where important things happen, but the comic itself fails to make those things feel important. Read Full Review

The Mothervine conspiracy collapses thanks to a well-timed heel-face turn on Emma Frost's part. Magneto whips out a few healer mutants to erase most of the negative fallout with suspicious ease, but very bad blood remains between those two. Some high-quality art and a nicely-timed plot are big positives here; on the other side of the scale are shallow characterization and a powerful feeling of inconsequentiality.
