Kabooooom - Matt Morrison
Apr 12, 2018There's little room for the quiet character development that Taylor is famous for, but he does manage to sneak a few laughs into the story in spite of this timely concept. There's lots of epic action scenes, however, well illustrated by Mahmud Asrar and Ive Svorcina. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Peyton Hinckle
Apr 14, 2018X-MEN RED #3 delivers an action-packed issue full of Sentinels, mutant-hating propaganda, and evil schemes. While it may not be the best issue so far, what it lacks in art and plot it makes up for in genuine characterization and an honest agenda. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Apr 16, 2018X-Men: Red #3 was another solid entry in Tom Taylor's young series. Taylor continues to do a good job presenting Cassandra Nova as a villain that is easy to hate. Her actions make what Jean Grey's X-Men are up against even bigger as there are constant walls being placed in front of them. How the X-Men overcome everything they are up against will be very interesting since now they have their own allies against them now thanks to Nova's actions. Read Full Review

Tom Taylor really gets the X-Men. The rumors of an X-Men relaunch keep persisting, and if it happens Tom Talyor has earned the right to be considered for Uncanny X-men. Red has all the elements that make up a great X-men book. intrigue and mystery. Red has a strong team of dynamic characters to follow. It has political commentary and allegory to our world today. This is the most heavy-handed the book has been about talking about intolerance and the rise of fake info on social media, but the cause is intriguing and the crisis continues to get bigger and more public. Our team is almost assembled. Most of the players are now involved with more to come and the last page is a great cliffhanger that promises a big issue number 4. If you only more

Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten. I know X-Men can be hard to follow, catch up on, and decide which title to even read. Well, this is the title to read and I recommend jumping back to number 1 since we aren't too far into it and catching up. Red gives you the feeling of the old X-men with a hint of some new ones sprinkled in. Some classic feels with some new upgrades. The Red crew escapes with Trinary, who can kind of listen and rewrite technology, and finds themselves heading back to Wakanda on the back of a reprogrammed Sentinel. However, Storm is waiting in Wakanda for them and she ain't goi more

Great issue and a good reminder of how much a nightmare of a person Cassandra is.

Jean is one of my favorite comic book characters of all time, I've collected a solid portion of her meaningful moments in comic book history and I was incredibly excited to have her back, but not like this... So far this run has been underwhelming and not even this issue with Gambit has been able to keep my initial hype for this. Even if you're like me that can overlook quite a bit of politics in comics, some of it on this run has been so on the nose and heavy handed with events specifically mirroring or referencing events in the current US political climate, which for a non-American not only makes it uninteresting at times, but also unfortunately it will likely ensure this run will not age well. There are some good things in this, wh more

Cassandra Nova tightens the noose around the Red team as they puzzle out her plans with very "ripped from the headlines" details. I love this team, I like the overall direction of the plot, and I think my personal politics are probably right in line with the creators'. I even like the idea of bringing social media manipulation into the array of weapons deployed against mutants. I can't rate an issue executed as clumsily as this one as really good, though. Goofy faces in the Sentinel fight scene, Sahara-dry political exposition, and Jean Grey rolling a one on an empathy check with this immortal clunker: "No one should have to face rejection because of the small-minded prejudice of the very people who are supposed to love them unconditiona more

Apparently russian bots are tricking everyone into hating mutants. Those guys ruin everything. Meh. A filler issue where nothing much happens. Nightcrawler doesn't say anything. Laura says RRRRRR! And Honeybadger is still retarded. I think Gambit is a difficult character to write well. No writer has really done a good job with Gambit since the 90s. I would say that if you can't write Gambit well you should leave him off the team. Instead Tom Taylor wastes 5 pages on a useless Gambit scene that adds nothing to the story.
