- [ ] X-men outback #1. Look does this have just zero logic and huge flaws ? Yes. How the hell does Sabretooth just find them ? Then we are so chicken shit in writing we wipe his mind so no one knows this happened? Convenient no stakes storytelling by Steve Orlando . But at the same time is the best X-men story in recent memory. Great callbacks. Good action. It’s got a pulse in a dead franchis e . I’m taking what I can get. This wasn’t bad It’s certainly not Outback level good. By today’s awful putrid xmen titles It’s decent stuff despite the ass kissing of storm at epic levels. more

What a mixed bag. Actual heroics mixed in with hot trash storytelling. A magic potion to cure magneto that best had all along. Just happened to be carrying it with him? I’ve had enough of Jed on X-men. Where is this story going ? The science team lead by Beast. I just don’t care. I desperately want too I love the X-men but this series has been all over the map. It’s just not good. Was it bet ter than usual ? Even a broken clock is right. Do better marvel. Save the X-men. more

This is the most canceled at issue 10 looking series I've ever seen.

The good news: this is the best issue of X-Men United so far! The art has improved a little and there are a few snippets of dialogue that didn’t feel completely retarded.

The bad news: it’s still terrible.

No No No. this revision in history is insane and wrong. Joe , why are you doing this to these characters ? why is editorial allowing this ? enough of this crap. awful stuff.

we barely see the two face character and his anime esque design is awesome. most of this book is dope as hell. but its still just upper mid in the end. mostly because its not cohesive at all. a down issue for me from how good this series usually is and thats still an 8/10.

loved but the book. conquest vs battle beast. my biggest complaint with the book... it can't progress with any actual stakes. we know how each dies because we already saw how each of them die. so the stakes are limited. its just cool stuff. and im ok with that. However im really tired of the obsession with conquest. hes not that interesting to me. but when books are not that good this week... I' ll take this anyday. more

Gail must have been dared " write the worst X-men story ever." and she created this issue. this issue is all about dates aliens and dancing. Kurt is on a date, death dream on a date with a girl in a wheelchair. we get a goddamn dance number of Calico in the book. all of it. every page is painful and awful. What on earth is this ? We get one callback to graymulken prison with a lame brawl with the all powerful Monet, as she's releasing prisoners...yet beats them up? a brood warrior shows up at one point. This book is an epic disaster. The art barely has faces on it. most don't have noses and dots for eyes.its sketches and shows little effort. we end on the news of Weapon x-finity...where they want to make wolverines. NO. Yet again this issue and the series focuses on Gails awful characters. doing horribly lame things. in a plot that makes little sense in her usually throw it all at you style... and pray it makes sense in the end. it Never does. cancel the book Marvel. spare us this trash! more

Well this book debuts a “science team” lead by Beast. If that sounds interesting to you at all then we are very different people. We get no lead up, nothing to this storyline. It just happens as the details are revealed via exposition dumps that are a bore to read. Also we retcon and abandon Magnetos RLDS. Now it’s a disease from the future. Caused by …no clue , who? No clue! To what end? reaso ns we don’t know yet. Why he knew all about RLDS and whatever testing beast did to confirm it , all out the window. As Jed scrambles to move on from that stupid idea and it’s embarrassing to read it happening.
Most of the book is a word bubble party.
Then a kinda reveal at the end but who cares ? This book sucks. The white tiger lady with the big boobs is also really furries type trash. Cancel the book or remove the creative teams. This is the better of the 2 main X-men book and I’m still asking for it to be cancelled. more

I don't think Mariko knows how injuries work and the time needed to treat them. Also the drawing of the bone was not a fracture so medically none of this worked. It's hard to give this a review since nothing really happens or is fleshed out. Barbara wakes up in the infirmary and hallucinations happen all issue. Thats it. the art Is well done but this issue was just a big nothing burger.

I love this series. issues 1 and 2 were fantastic and this has been the best work of Jeff Lemire in recent memory. With that said, we need to be able to move on in comics from bringing up and retconning the past. It's always been hinted about Ronnie and Martin. But the "grooming" just doesn't sit right with me. We didn't need it and thats what holds down this issue being as good as it could be. Overall it's still strong and one of the best series in DC comics and I want more! more

Boy that Cormac Crane reveal at the end ! what a huge character.... im joking. who? does anyone care? hasn't aunt May been through enough crap at this point? we get a villain reveal and dispatched in 2 issues. boy talk about filler. Overall just boring stuff from Joe who seems to be struggling on finding the Parker he wants to write about. We got dying over and over, space Peter, a guy who s eems family lineage ... it's all just bad comics. Fix this Joe. Because this Spider-man book sucks! more

Ayodele should write an apology to Storm fans for this comic and the 5 issues we had to endure. Story has become a mess of a character. shes god like In power, and the series couldnt be any worse of a read. we rush to an ending at a pace that is hilarious. it ends so abruptly you'd think you missed panels. but nope. it seems editorial told Ayodele - end it. enough is enough". I thank them for it . this series was off the rails bad. im not review bombing. I dare you to read it all and come away thinking this was in anyway shape or form even mid tier. more

No one who has eyes to see can honestly tell me that they think the art in this book is great. In fact, it’s so bad, I can’t even get myself to read this stuff. If this is the level of quality Marvel is at now, we’re truly fucked.

I'll make this quick. stop reading this review and buy the darn book. it's that good. you'll thank me later.

Christ sakes Gail. she rushes to an ending as fast as possible to move on to the next story arc and thats the payoff? this book is dumb, and a mess. Mutant X 's character design is terrible. the battles absolutely suck in what little we even see of them. the Wolverine and nightcrawler battle is 2 panels of nothing but teleporting and return to normal. the art is indy level and Terrible. the new x members are terrible. Gail has no voice for these characters and ending on Monet and quicksilver being offered to lead the X-men is the nail in the coffin for the book. Uncanny X-men- a flagship title has 4 critic reviews. issue #1 had 17 critic reviews. No ones reading this and bless them because it sucks. just awful ,dreadful storytelling by talentless Gail. someone. please save the Xmen titles! more

IDK if Matt Fraction even knows the story he wants to tell anymore. This story is all over the map. little explanation of everything. It's literally like we are missing issues detailing what just happened. If you read the last 3 issues, you'd have zero idea of what is even happening besides Batman is being chased by GCPD. even those story elements are full of Tom King -just skip to the parts I w ant to tell- type story telling. screw the filler that would give detail and insight. this series is in serious trouble because the man behind the title has no story cohesion. stuff just happens for the same WOW moments we have been getting and to me its just not enough. We are back to the Side panels with Bat tech. I'd like to enjoy Batman being a detective but this is not good storytelling. it's just a collection of random stuff happening. not good enough Matt. is it better than recent issues? sure it is. but when those sucked, what's that really say? nada. At least
the art and layouts are absolutely gorgeous. more

As you can see by the number of reviews, no one's reading this book anymore and with good cause. It's just a nothing , out of continuity book. We have a by the numbers , boring comic. Pierce has obtained god metal and battles Cyclops. We get the most basic of storytelling with the slave mutant kids all teaming up to help Scott and defeat the bad guy. This is boring while at the same time does nothing offensive besides wasting our time on the series. thats really the story here, this book Offers no new take on Scott,No bold story. If you missed this series, congrats -nothing changed and you would have saved a few bucks. I know I wish I did.

Jim lees art is tremendous but even that fails to save this book. Jeph Loeb has written absolute trash. Hes normally very talented. but this Hush run is a total mess. some of the worst work from Loeb win recent memory. What is even happening in this comic? nothing makes sense and we do not need a pt 2. just end this madness.

I give high praise to this creative team. It’s really top notch. The story is compelling , it moves well. Tons of pay off and call backs. So why only a 9? Well absolute Zatana could have been so much more. But she’s barely in the issue and was treated more as a plot device than a future solo series star. Aside from that I loved it. The art is inspired and well done. Did I wish we had my favori te fill in artist ever Mattia de Iulis? YES. but Sherman did a good job.
High praise but I wanted more. more
