EARTH'S MIGHTIEST…HATED AND FEARED! X YEARS LATER, Earth still needs the Avengers…but what happens when those who are left have transformed into mutants?! Dani Moonstar leads a new team of Avengers (Hawkeye, Vision, Water Widow, Shang-Chi, Variable Man and Cannonball) to protect the planet! But can these "X-Vengers" protect all of Earth, including the Revelation Territories?!
X-Vengers #1 explores Dani Moonstar's leadership of the Avengers, and provides a sincere look at what it means to help others in even the most difficult circumstances. There is a true and very sincere disability metaphor to be applied to the Avengers, and how Moonstar functions almost as a therapist, coach, and friend in helping them come to terms with their new normal.

X-Vengers finally gives Dani Moonstar the opportunity to prove herself as a competent and capable leader of a superhero team. The issue proves why Dani deserves to lead a superhero team and shows that when given a chance to demonstrate her capabilities as a field leader, she is able to rise to the occasion. Read Full Review
X-Vengers #1 is the perfect example of all that's changed with the Age of Revelation within the Marvel Universe, and also shows how some things haven't changed especially when it comes to the Avengers. Read Full Review
My recommendation: if you are a longtime Avengers or a New Mutants fan, then X-Vengers Issue #1 is right in your wheelhouse. Or if you are a collector just looking to pick up the best issues of the Age of Revelation, then X-Vengers Issue #1 should be on your list. Read Full Review
The issue focuses on Dani Moonstar, who has become the team's Captain America, and she's awesome. Dani is one of those characters that has been around for ages, and has always been really great but has never actually gotten the chance to live up to her potential. Seeing her at the head of the Avengers, and learning that a dying Cap choose her to lead the team, is exactly what the doctor ordered for this character. Jason Loo nails this new version of Dani, and she's the main reason why this book is great to read. It's a joy to spend so much time with Dani. The rest of the cast is great too, mixing some underrated members of the Avengers with a couple of the legends of the team. It's a wonderful cast for a fun book. Read Full Review
I feel like this is one of the best or not the best out of this event. It managed to be feel both like an issue and lay the foundations of the lore plus it presented very interesting internal conflicts and development for the characters in way that feels smooth and somewhat part of the story. It's not a small feat because a lot of books for me do not manage to do both. Dani as Cap is perfection for this specific moment and the potential for more personal conflict with revelation is there and is even alluded to. It does not reimangine the formula, but based on what is presented there is a lot that i am excited about. The art was also quite nice. Overall really solid work, but i would wait to see more action and development before a further j more
I love Dani Moonstar, but this still feels like a load of meaningless filler for the sake of itself. I won’t be back for issue 2, even though I am a huge New Mutants fanboy.
