Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
May 10, 2017X-Men Blue continues to dominate and be an outstanding book proving that the X-Men are definitely back. We haven't had much of a serial and the series being more of a villain of the week, but its proving to be a successful formula. Hopefully soon we will see the series become more of a serial and bring on some greater challenges for the O5 team. This is still a must read series that I can't recommend enough. Go pick it up, you wont be disappointed. Read Full Review

May 10, 2017If you weren't excited about X-Men: Blue yet, this issue gives more than enough for readers to feast upon, and if you were excited, this issue is validating. This series is getting better and more engrossing with each issue which is no small feat considering how strong is started. While the midpoint art shift is confusing at best and frustrating at worst, there is plenty of interesting visuals to make this comic a pleasure to look at. With such strong storytelling, it's hard not to feel like it's an incredible time to be an X-Men fan. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
May 10, 2017X-Men Blue #3 makes this series feel more like a journey than anything else. These X-Men are looking for self-discovery and understanding in a world/future they have to get used to. They were brought up to believe a lot of things, but this new world challenges much of what they think they are fighting for. Read Full Review

May 13, 2017X-Men Blue has fun characters, nifty plots and great art. All three are on display in this fun little issue, making it a true standout of ResurrXion. Read Full Review

IGN - Blair Marnell
May 11, 2017Somebody needs to get Height on a full time X-Men book immediately. That's exactly the kind of art that this book needs. The script narrowly misses the mark, but the artwork more than makes up for it. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
May 15, 2017Writer Cullen Bunn holds the tension of the comic fairly well until the reasons behind Nimrod's actions are revealed and the X-Men go all smashy-smashy. The trouble is, whatever his motives, at the present Nimrod is actually a friend to mutantkind and his actions (and considerable resources) would be valuable to the X-Men and countless mutants in trouble (not to mention giving them time to readjust the super-villain's idea about mutants by working with him). Oh well. Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review

Finally an issue of blue I liked! This time we see the X-Men up against their old rivals the sentinels but it provided such a refreshing twist I enjoyed it. The fight scenes are clean and something to look at thanks to the art of Molina, Height and Milla. While Bunn's story was actually very captivating.

Really loving the art style of this series!

I generally only leave reviews here if I have something to say about the issue or want to balance out an unfair low review. This is the latter, although the 8.5 is genuine. Incidentally, Cyclops is a 'teenager boy'. Thank you.

8.5
I like the characterization and story here, as we see the Sentinels used in a different way. Cullen Bunn has a good idea of what to do with these characters, as this reads like a classic X-Men book. Jorge Molina's art continues to be a pleasant surprise.

Solid issue with some good characterization for Jean as a team leader. I love that every member of this team really works together. It makes for good action sequences. The villain of the issue was an interesting one with unusual motivations. Blue continues to hit it out of the park while Gold struggles to keep up.

7.5
The art style is growing on me. This is a nice issue; not a huge amount happens but I guess it's setting future stuff up. A couple of nice character moments.

This issue raised a few questions for me that would take a good amount of work to answer. I think if you are not overthinking this issue and if it truly works it a story that you will enjoy. The format for X-Men: Blue seems to be a issue by issue monster of the day format that is fun in ways, but can leave you with little to grab hold of. The team has tried to supplement this with the distrust among the group. While this title is not going to be making headlines, it is an enjoyable read.

An interesting twist on the Sentinels here. Not sure how far it will be explored story-wise, but X-Men Blue is still the better series of the RessureXion line.

7.0
I really didn't care for the villains motivations in this comic. The whole "the bad guys are good guys now" storyline has been recycled for multiple characters at this point. Jean Grey really stands out in this issue as she has in the earlier book. Still enjoyable but there is room for improvement.

6.0
The O5 team tangles with a messed-up Bastion who's "conserving" mutants for later destruction. The plot got so slow I was wondering if Cullen Bunn thinks his readers are simple - or maybe he thinks his "conservation" angle on Bastion is so clever he deserves a victory lap. The character interactions are still solid and there's a nice little Jean/Scott conversation to wrap things up. The shift from Jorge Molina to Ray-Anthony Height goes well, but in this issue you're likely to focus on the way both artists draw Jean Grey with a weird flattened Stewie Griffin head. Aside from that, it's still a visual treat.

Lame premise, not a lot to like

1.0
In my opinion, the more we read these stories, the more obvious it is that there is no sense in Jean Grey being team leader; unlike Storm, she and Kitty Pride are not suited for leadership positions, and the whole thing seems to me VERY forced. They put Cyclops, the true natural leader aside just to show that "teenager girls are in charge" now.
