This isn’t Jed McKay‘s worst writing, however we‘ve seen it all before. Age of Revelation is nothing new. In fact, it’s a rehash of Age of Apocalypse, a concept that didn’t work for me in the 90s and doesn’t work for me now ( or the half a dozen other times Marvel has tried to shock us with an alternate version of the X-Men). I’m not interested in other versions of the X-Men and I don’t want to buy sixteen new titles to get one story that we all know didn’t happen in the end anyway. I want good stories featuring the characters I know and love, but Marvel doesn’t seem to be interested in grounded storytelling anymore.

Between Marvel trying to gaslight us into believing Ms. Marvel is the greatest mutant ever and this redundant crossover bullshit, I can only come to the conclusion that the X-Men I love are dead and gone.

Is the art good at least? Hell, no. It’s Humberto Ramos.

Pretty decent, although it doesn't feel like an X-Men book. This feels very YA/teen (I would say 'New Mutants' instead of 'teen', but this group doesn't hold a candle to the OG New Mutants). Trying to be patient in allowing the new characters to breathe, but we really just need 1 book with new teens, not 2.

Let the grown ups play please.

Okay, I didn't want to read the X-books anymore, but this one looked pretty good - at first glance. So here we go....

First of all, someone should tell Gail Simone that her obvious LGBTQ+ allegory isn't working. For some reason, Marvel and literally the whole mainstream publishing industry are pushing the narrative that "queer people" are being oppressed by, well... everyone, while at the same time, these same people dominate the entertainment industry and try to force everybody into participating in their delusional neo-religion. Hollywood producing anti-trans... sorry, anti-mutant propaganda? Only in your wet dreams of perpetual victimhood, Ms. Simone! And before you ask, I'm one of the people you call "queer" (actually I'm just gay), so I think I'm allowed to critique my own so-called community.

Aside from this problematic and frankly bullshit message (and a very rushed ending), the issue is pretty well done. I'm usually not a fan of Vecchio's boringly clean and sometimes cutesy artwork, but in this issue he did a great job, especially when it comes to natural body poses. I also really like the Outliers - in contrast to the insufferable brats over in Exceptional X-Men. Their dialogue and interactions feel natural to me. more

I could write a detailed review, but I just don't know where to begin. Everything about this issue is horrible - the story, the art, the dialogue and especially the forced shipping of characters. Let's not even talk about Ororo's pregnancy test. It's as close to a saccharine Manga comic for girls as a superhero comic can get. You'd have to pay me to read another issue of this poor quality.

I'll probably check in again with the x-books in a few years, when all this woke bullshit has faded out of existence, but for the time being, I'm done. This was the final straw. more

The reason why this score is not as high is because it feels very rushed and the ending was underwhelming. But it was still a solid series overall. It's nice to see Esad Ribic's art again

Very good, but it could have used one or two more issues to fully develop the universe. You can feel that some plot threads and character arcs were rushed or cut short.

A good teamup between Baroness and cover Girl, interesting subplots all around that tie up to Transformers...I Wonder what's not to like in this series ?

This series hasnt slowed down for one minute, and while this is a setup issue, it is a harrowing display of stakes for the Autobots while also being yet another brilliant character analysis for both Prime and Megatron.

All I know is that Im very hopeful whoever is following Warrens footsteps is able to character this energy along with the weight of the warfare. The art speaks for itself. Corona deserves Eisners for what hes drawing on the pages here. more

I don’t understand the rave reviews. This is a truly mid-level comic, with artwork that doesn’t really do justice to the Silver Surfer, new characters that aren’t very compelling, and a storyline that’s all over the place, lacking any real grounding. Silver Surfer is one of the most interesting but also one of the hardest characters to write. If you’re making a comic called “The Death of Silver Surfer”, you better bring your A-game. This one just doesn’t deliver. more
