Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Jun 07, 2017We are onto issue five and this series is showing that no controversyis going to stop it from delivering the X-Men stories we want and deserve. This is an outstanding series and is a must read for every x-fan out there. Read Full Review

Jun 09, 2017The X-Men are stuck in a tough spot. Humans now think they're terrorists, they've got a huge, nearly indestructible sentinel AI after them, and they don't have a plan yet as to how to handle it all. Guggenheim is crafting together one seriously intriguing issue, and you don't want to miss out on it! Read Full Review

Jun 08, 2017Issue #5 of X-Men Gold starts off throwing punches and it barely slows down for the whole comic. The art and colors are quite good and the story definitely keeps upping the stakes. Once Kitty and Rachel have something to do, it'll really take off. Read Full Review

Jun 07, 2017Overall, this is so much better than the first arc, but that's a low bar to cross. Read Full Review

Jun 12, 2017X-Men: Goldrebounds a bit this week in the story department with a nice twist on Sentineltechnology run amok. The art however is starting to show signs of a bi weeklyrelease schedule. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Gage Bullock
Jun 08, 2017Overall this second arc seems to be a big step up in quality over the first. Guggenheim is finally getting comfortable with the team and their dialogue flows so much better. The art is a step up as well, R.B Silva seems to be a way better artist than the previous but he really needs to work on some of his facework. Read Full Review

Jun 16, 2017In the end, I am left wanting more in terms of direction and creativity and missing the sense of danger and thrill. And I don't care what you tell me, I'm still convinced that Northstar took Rachel and Kitty out for a night on the town and had a strong role in the birth of "Prestige." There is one very sore drag queen out there due some royalties. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Jun 11, 2017I cant not recommend this book to X-Men fans, but X-Men Gold #5 is easily the weakest issue so far. The art has plenty of missteps, the message is almost superficial in its simplicity, and the plot is advanced very minutely. Read Full Review

Nerdly - Daniel Clark
Jun 26, 2017Where this book has succeeded from the beginning is with the portrayal of Kitty Pride. She makes a fascinating team leader and has grown a great deal in such a short time. Considering she is coming back from being away for some time it makes sense the focus will be on her. Hopefully, as this series continues other characters like Nightcrawler, Storm, and Colossus will have their moments as well. Read Full Review

When I saw the cover to this I thought, "Aw, fuck, the Sentinels." I didn't really like issue #4, but things picked up for me here in what I found to be the strongest issue in the series to date. Marc Guggenheim's writing seemed a little sharper and I enjoyed the artwork of R.B. Silva. The team had a good rapport in this issue and Kitty got to stretch her leadership muscles. A pleasant surprise.

Wow! If nonstop action is your thing X-Men Gold delivers. Character development is slow, but since these have been around a ling time most readers will know them. Solid writing by Guggenheim. The art by Silva is bad, just plain BAD. Did I say the art is bad? Well, I can't say it enough. Overall, a title well work your money tho.

Not bad but I'm feeling like this series is stalling a little. It needs something more happening at the character level maybe. Not sold on the new artist so far. And please someone give Colossus some pants.

There is nothing to this issue that I would think would make it a must have issue. It has a decent story. The art works, but there is nothing memorable about it. The story revolves around a new Sentinel threat that is built of nano-tech. This gives it some new abilities and an artificial intelligence smarter than previous versions. The end threat that is set up created a pretty exciting moment. You could say that since Guggenheim is trying to create a series similar to old days of the X-Men he is succeeding.

Enjoying the story but the artwork was really poor.

I'm seeing everywhere the art of Silva and Benedetto works, NO IT DOESN'T!!!! When Colossus looks like he has cellulite legs and Kurt is looking like a guy who just face painted himself for a Halloween party you really have some problems! Look, Guggenheim's story is pretty solid but that "art" it's pretty lame.

While Guggenheim still relies on rehashing stories from X-Men's past, I did find this new take on the Sentinels to be interesting. Overall though, X-Men Gold just feels bland. The artwork itself has been well done, but none of the issues in the series have stood out much at all. This series has all the potential in the world. Just needs a good hook of a story.

I just can't feel the love for this title. The villains are generic, the heroes lack the sort of character arcs they always had in the Claremont era that's being invoked here, and each issue is packed with small wrong notes -- Rachel being vulnerable to the sentinel's injury because it's 'conscious', Kitty immediately understanding and translating 'binary', the logic gap in the final twist (is it targeting 'everyone' or just people with arbitrary medical conditions?)... Even just little stupid things like taking off in the jet before figuring out where to go, which I know is minor but it feels like the sort of handwavey thing you'd see in a cheap TV action show that's not trying very hard.

Kitty's X-Men struggle to keep up with the rapidly-evolving Sentinel threat. The lack of impression this comic leaves on the reader is the only impressive thing about it; it's a remarkably blasé bag of blah. True, it makes no mistakes and offers no offense, but it makes it clear through its forgettability just how modest those achievements are. The conversation I'm imagining between inker Andriano Di Benedetto and colorist Frank Martin - where they each simultaneously say "I thought *you* were taking care of the shadows" - is more entertaining than the story itself.
