Trial by fire pays off for the newbies. Pyro and Magma are on fire without even using flames. Read Full Review
X-Men Gold #24 is a fast-paced, entertaining issue that allows the new X-team to shine while putting Rogue back in the leadership role she belongs in. Read Full Review

It’s fine. I mean just fine, not better.
I can't believe that this lousy issue followed those great ones.
The prison fight for the female X-Men results in solitary time which is, of course, trouble for badly-written Storm. In Manhattan, the B-team beats the Shredded Man in an epically unsatisfying fight. Beyond the general aimlessness of both storylines, the writing and the art throw up a half-dozen points each where the sheer lack of quality makes my eyeballs roll. A thoroughly unenjoyable read.
