Chris Y reviewed Exceptional X-Men #13 Sep 10, 2025
The absence of Carmen Carnero‘s art makes me realize that I rated some issues much higher than Eve Ewing‘s writing actually deserved. For better or worse, this is the last issue. I won’t be back for Expatriate X-Men.

DabidK reviewed Runaways #3 Aug 29, 2025
Rainbow Rowell knows these characters and writes them so well it almost brings me to tears. It’s heartbreaking that this mini isn’t selling well enough to give the Runaways another crack at life in a longer series. This is magnificent stuff for fans of these characters.

DabidK reviewed Giant-Size: House Of M #1 Jul 17, 2025
I’ve really enjoyed all the other episodes in this Giant Size story arc, but this one was easily the weakest and most disappointing to me. Very little plot happens, and Legion barely appears. This comic just feels flat to me and lacking in substance. I’m still looking forward to the conclusion of this story, but this chapter feels almost entirely skippable.

DabidK reviewed X-Men: Hellfire Vigil #1 Jul 2, 2025
It pains me to say it, but this was purest trash. The big scenes with Dazzler and Siryn are totally unbelievable, and the “romances” feel more forced and arbitrary than almost any on memory in X-Men comics. What happens to Dazzler simply would not be permitted by the X-Men—ever—and the whole “Graymalkin is a mutant prison now and the X-Men do nothing” story feels artificial and silly. more

DabidK reviewed Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #7 Jun 27, 2025

DabidK reviewed Uncanny X-Men #16 Jun 26, 2025
I like Gail and I like her new mutants and I like the social commentary she’s inserted into this book. But I did not like this ending to the major story arc. All of the talk and action in this ended up feeling too incoherent for my taste. I like what Gail was going for in this arc, but I don’t think it really stuck the landing.
