You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Nov 12, 2022X-Men Red #8 is yet another solid issue of a top-tier X-book. Its still between this and Immortal X-Men on whats the best X-Men series out right now. Ewing does his Marvel sci-fi politics thing thats so much fun, pays off a lot of dangling plotlines, and gives an exciting story. Musabekov and Blee are a top-notch art team. If theres any drawback to this comic, its that it takes readers away from the Arakko stuff, which is the best part. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Nov 02, 2022X-Men: Red #8 brings the focus fully back on what Abigail Brand has been planning and it the results were explosive. Al Ewing does an excellent job juggling multiple stories that all tie together while making sure to give us a lot of quality character work. The way things end makes you wonder if anyone will be able to stop Abigail Brand's plans. That's a sign of a strong villain plot and something that will have fans coming back to find out how things go next. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler
Nov 02, 2022X-Men Red #8 starts the final story arc for the series. Now that A.X.E.: Judgment Day is over the series can get back to its main story with Abigail Brand as the main villain. However, this issue is mainly setup and feels like it's cramming a little too much into it before it really gets things going. Madibek does a good job with the art especially when it comes to the Sci-Fi locations and aesthetic. While this issue is mainly setup, it ends off with the action just about to start so things will get more exciting in the next issue. Read Full Review

I've said it before and I'll say it again it's a great time to be a comic book fan! The book continues to be stellar! I absolutely love the complexity and depth of these x-men books and in my opinion x-men red and legion of x are the two best. Huge things are set in motion in this issue and I couldn't be more excited to see where this goes. The writing and artwork are both phenomenal in this consistently fantastic series

Maria Hill to the 10th power scheming levels here. Ewing is just smooth with his threads merging. Madibek Musabekov did a great job here and should be a rotating artist with Caselli.

We're finally diving more into Abigail Brand with this storyline, and I thought this was super interesting. This wasn't my favorite issue of the series, but it's still very well-written and well-illustrated. Ewing shows a lot of depth in this story, and, after doing great in the previous issue, Musabekov cements himself as a nice addition to this run. I agree with what another user stated in their review, in that Musabekov should be a rotating artist with Stefano Caselli. I'm looking forward to what comes of this current story.

This issue is practically bursting at the seams with revelations and plot developments. The new artist delivers an attractive set of visuals, too. But it's an extremely expository issue, leaving the characters with little to do beyond explaining what they know and gasping at what they're just now learning. By itself, it's merely good. But it's a powerful bit of stage-setting for a great climax to come.

The reason why it took me this long before reading this issue is because I was very shocked by the death of my favorite character in A.X.E. and didn't want to recognize his absence. But with next issue out next Wednesday, I finally read this. On this issue, we find out that Brand has bigger plans than we (and members of S.W.O.R.D.) have imagined. I really like the spread page in the middle of the issue. It's very impressive. I admire this series because it depicts this scale of plot with very sophisticated way. We are given clues little by little, intrigued, and when the whole plans are revealed, they connect to all the given factors. I also love Arakko and its culture depicted in this series. Arakkis sometimes show aggressive a more
