Readers, X-Men: Days of Future Past Doomsday #1 is the perfect way to go back to the success of the past and build on a story by providing depth with what ultimately amounts to a prequel. Sure, fans wont get every answer they might be searching for. However, they will get some heavy discussion as well as the devastating outcomes of so many mutants and heroes alike.

Though stories with anti-mutant propaganda are a dime a dozen at the House of Ideas, Guggenheim's reductive script removes all the frills and turns it into a story that's incredibly human. Read Full Review
X-Men: Days of Future Past - Doomsday #1 provides a deep, dark insight into the origins behind one of the most famous X-Men storylines and pulls no punches in the process. It's tricky to build upon such a beloved storyline, but this first issue is off to a solid start. Read Full Review

The plight of the X-Men has always served as a metaphor for oppressed sub-cultures and Guggenheim manages to use what could be considered an unnecessary prequel to say something about how the world is now. The true villains here are the so-called baseline humans, those who represent the notions of transphobia, homophobia, and racism, projecting their hatred and fear on a community that they see as less than human. To his credit, Guggenheim does a fine job of writing in a style that feels like a classic X-Men story, but the comparisons to real-world struggles makes it as contemporary as can be. Manuel Garcias art matches the writing with a classic approach that evokes Alan Davis during his prime, especially during scenes involving the team in their 80s era uniforms. Read Full Review
X-Men: Days of Future Past Doomsday #1 isn't bad. It begins to fill in the gaps as to what lead to the world of "Days of Future Past. It's all logical and you could see how it'd shake out. But, the comic rushes through some of the history, leaving the emotional build to the side. It takes use through the history but never really builds to anything, instead it's quick hits or we're dropped into the key moment. There's an emotional connection that feels like it's missing.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Doomsday #1 is a fun throwback to a simpler time in X-Mens history, with great art reflecting that. Unfortunately, the story features little substance with the issue mainly containing just a list of events. Read Full Review
