The actual plot hasn't really kicked off much, but this was a good first issue for introducing characters and the setting. I never read the original series 30 years ago (I ordered the omnibuses on Amazon after reading this issue) so the character bios at the end were appreciated. I do really appreciate the characters, being twists on typical horror characters. The art was also outstanding. Looking forward to reading the old series and then continuing this one. more

Kinda wish they'd had more time to focus on this story before the crossover — the idea of "the students get to be the adults to young Kitty" is a wonderful coming-of-age moment to round the series out if it doesn't come back after the latest Age of Apocalypse rehash, but it doesn't have nearly enough room to breathe in a single issue

There is something to be said of how well how comfortable i've become with those new characters. I can't say this for too many of the new additions elsewhere. It's team effort in realitity, because this comics deals so well with both the old and the new, the new characters humanize the old and the old give them legimacy. The mood of jokes and mocking is a big part for this, it puts all of them on the same plane, they all feel equal both on power dinamic level and on level of the writhing. Everybody is just so sincere with how they act, which leads to the comedy a lot of the time. Based on those dynamics, this is always the first title i pick every week(F4 also).

This issue highlighs all this really well, as every issue of the run does honestly, but this issue even more so, because it connects more literally one of the main theames of the run: how kitty sees herself in those kids.it confronts this theme, how she wants better for the kids, because how much trauma being an x-men gave her. It's a battle of hers, that followed a lot of her comics, from Wheadon's tenure to this run, so its nice that it gets a issue focused on exploring just this, in a run that actually greatly expands in a new direction for her trauma and her growth and calm, even compared to when Wheadon wrote her. She finally finds the answer, finally finds why it was truly worth it. And it is because of the kids, which legitimazed them again and humanizes kitty.

I am sad that this comics is ending, but damn it is a perfect ending. more

Sad to see this series end. Hope we get more of Daken in the near future.

Really good issue for an underutilized character these days. I really appreciated the ties to the history of Nova and how it was handled showing the Worldmind's dilemma calculating the answer. Really enjoyable issue overall.

Very pleased with this first issue. The story was interesting, I enjoyed the idea that IF is going around punching old folks in the chest to dispel a demon or whatever was possessing them but regular people think he's just going around beating people up. The art was really good, I've never heard of this artist but I enjoyed it a lot. It reminded me of what you might get if you somehow mixed Todd McFarlane's style with manga. I'm not saying it's as good as McF, but stylistically similar. more

Great issue. Good art, great writing and great start to the plot. The foundation isn't totally original, but the details surrounding it are original enough. And I love the Kingpin being compatible with the current Daredevil run's Kingpin. That scene was great, and the whole setup for the premise of this book looks like it's going to be very interesting.

So good. All Dogs Go to Heaven meets Lord of the Flies, this issue. Don Bluth would be proud.

Haven't read it yet but I came here knowing it was going to be review bombed by bigots. A happy accident for me, I accidentally ordered two of the 1:50 Jim Lee covers and those seem to be sky rocketing in value lol. I'll come back to this after I read it and adjust accordingly. Just wanted to counterbalance some of the bad faith review bombing for now.

This book was promising and beautiful. DC editorial can go eat worms for cancelling it. Transphobes stay angry, bitter and isolated. You are creatures of hate and cannot win.

Another fantastic issue. This run has been great, and while the resolution of the case was a bit convenient, it was still excellently executed. Juan Ferreyra is my favorite active interior artist, each page looks like cover art or something. He's so good. Loved it.

It can't get better than this. If there was an 11 I would rate it an 11.

Of the X-Men side characters' books going on right now this one is probably my favorite. It's still relatively low stakes but at least it has Gabby. The relationship between Gabby and Xarus is fun and I hope Gabby becomes more of a regular character in whatever book Laura is the regular in.

I love Magik and I love Dani so a book like this has a pretty high floor for how much I can like it. The story here is ok, nothing great but it could definitely be worse. The writing is not bad and captures Ilyana's personality pretty well. Solid story that doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things, and I'd much prefer a Magik book that was given more stakes and top shelf talent but I'll take what I can get. more

Simone (and McKay over on X-Men) continue writing great character stories. They were the perfect duo for resetting after the Krakoa stuff, in my opinion. The Outliers are great, and Ransom gets some much-needed fleshing out in this issue. Of course Wolverine makes the perfect chaperone for the task at hand, and I'm interested in whether the bad guys here are future major players or just a throw away group that won't be heard of once Ransom moves on from his connection to them. I'm assuming they're going to have to wrap this up quick, with Age of Revelation coming. Probably quicker than I'd prefer, so if I have a complaint it's probably that I wish they had saved this story for after the event. more

With the big event kicking off next month and the last arc finished last month this was the perfect opportunity for a cool little Wolverine side story. And this one was really good. Very quick, very light, but a lot of fun regardless. A good appetizer before the bombs start dropping on the X-Men world next month.

I'm not usually a huge fan of Shi'ar stuff or cosmic stuff in general (I didn't even know Xavier and Lilandra had a kid) but this issue was good. One of the few Shi'ar related things I do like is Deathbird and this was a pretty good issue for her. I'm enjoying Imperial War so far and this is a good one shot side story.

The art was only ok but the writing was really good and the premise has me very interested. Not the most original thing ever, with a heavy influence from "battle tournament to receive a grand prize" stories like Highlander, Battle Royale, Juni Taisen and the recent Exquisite Corpses. But I usually like those kinds of stories, so it already has my attention.

The art was fine, the writing was kinda meh, but the premise is really interesting. X-Force but Justice League is something I can probably get behind. A lot will probably depend on what members are added but Power Girl is enough to give this series a long-ish leash with me, so I'll give it at least a few issues.

Another very solid issue in this horror themed run. The art was ok but the writing was much better. Ghost Detective was a nice touch. My only complaint about this issue, and most of the preceeding ones, is that it felt too short. Not exactly in a "this is so good it's like it was over too soon!" way but more in a "there didn't seem to be a ton of progression" way. Still, a very good issue that was a fun read. more
