well the first 6 issues were really fun. This issue is I guess a slowdown and reset. Its a bit of a let down. IDC about Adeline one bit. More Slade please and less of this nonsense.

No ones even reading this mess of a book. 2 reviews total? Hickman and Kubert on a Hulk, Spiderman and Punisher book. you'd think it cant lose. well Hickman said hold my beer in his biggest flop since the POS title Wolverine Revenge. Christ sakes does this book have any story at all ? and for $5.99? this book is the drizzling shits and not worth the paper its printed on. shame on you Marvel and Jonathan Hickman. more

an issue that just needed to happen. pure fan service. a little but too over the top with Benedict going full Joker. bad guy kills the heroes family and he spends all issue beating the living hell out of him. Its still well done and Hitch does a beautiful job on the art as always. Johns was made to write this series as its been 20 issues of brilliance with little to no missteps. A job well done h ere! more

The Joes vs Night force and its so good! this is really fantastic fast paced story telling. Real stakes, surprises , Transformers, and G.I B.a.t!? come on. The battle to track down baroness is all so awesome. Joshua Williamson cannot write Iron Man for shit, but this series is a banger!!

who in their right mind is still buying this book? absolutely putrid stuff. Tom continues to write characters as they never have acted before, a cold bizarre Diana and just jumping all over the place in the story. make it stop. please.

We get Kid Omega which I think is just an awful character, vs Cassandra Nova who is an awful villain from the terrible Morrison run. So why not take what should have been a few panels in an issue and spread it out over 22 pages then sell it for $4.99. If you've been into the DNX story well, you've been robbed by the DNX #1 for $5.99 and now this. 2 issues in and nothing has happened that even be gins the story you wanted to read about for $11 plus tax. it's insulting.this issue was a big nothing burger with uninspired art. Netho Diaz layouts have been slipping more and more. His panels get harder to understand at times and he simply gives up on any details during the X-men sentinel battle. IDK if he was rushing or simply doesn’t care, but it showed. more

This issue is not worth buying. A bold statement but let me explain. The art is manga inspired and ok. If you like that style you may in fact think it’s awesome. What about the story? Well, it's a complete rehash of a story not even one year old and a continuation , with zero conclusion or expansion of anything, to the last X-men issue.Here is the plot "The X-men are looking for 3k and trying to convince the FF to restore Magneto with a shit ton of talking." Thats it. However, this issue is the best writing Jed has done in a while...but it’s still not that good.
Back to my opening sentence- well I said the art is ok and the story is Jeds best writing on the title in some time.Why is it not worth buying considering that all the X-men books are absolutely terrible? This comic offers no story progression mid art and its $5.99. So what are you buying? its a cash grab. plain and simple. its not worth your dollars or time vs what you get. I'm so sick and tired of this type of treatment of fans. Jed should be removed from the title after 2 failed years so he can focus on Moonknight. Gail and Ewing should be fired from comics entirely and Saladin should not even write thank you cards much less a comics with what he's done to Wolverine. get new talent. clean house. Someone. anyone save the X-men. more

It's really hard for me to rate this issue. Although I don't like the art style, I can see some quality in it. I'm sure many readers will enjoy it, especially the ones who prefer the X-Men fast, loud, colourful and without much substance.
The writing is decent, but on the other hand, there's nothing new or intriguing here, that makes me want to keep on reading.

We get wildride pt 3. Featuring another part of the Gambit possession storyline. This time featuring yet another of Gail’s creations, the mutant exorcist Repent. How a mutant exorcist is even a thing idk but Gail creates new characters nonstop in hopes something will click with fans. Not much happens here. Just more of the same old bad story that continues to plague the book. It’s always a new cha racter and very little of the characters we actually care about. What little you see of those characters,like Wolverine they are just talking. Lurking in the background because we need to have more outliers or trauma dumps. If i had a dollar for every time someone cries in this book I’d have enough to buy marvel and fire Gail. Don’t read this book. It’s so bad. Gail’s last 3 storylines are whatever she watched on tv , featuring a jumbled mess full of new characters that aren’t memorable and add nothing . This wild ride storyline is no different. more

I really like this new story so far. it lays down some stakes early and they are big. Cale has real motivations for her actions and that adds some depth that I loved. the last arc was slow but this one starts off with a bang. It's nice to have Hayden back on art duties as Dillon Snook made really ugly Diana with a huge nose and long face. I look forward to whatever happens next. This absolute W W is one of the best titles in the Absolute line. more

Well here we are a few days after release. 3 issues in and not a single review from a critic and 1 user review. despite the book being somewhat fun in issue 1 and a slide on issue 2... issue 3 has exposed this books biggest flaw- what are the stakes? we had an outback era that was perfect and is my favorite X-men arc. injecting "untold parts of the story to fill in what little gaps there are" is n't needed and it comes off as such. Colossus painting landscapes only to have a necromancer named Yaga Dyara come after him is just unneeded.the villain IS AWFUL. I mentioned before the biggest flaw, each battle we know the x-men will win because we saw them in the actual run. for that reason none of these stories matter or have any stakes. the art on this issue is mid then slips into absolute trash the last few pages. its a shame. the book isn't awful but it just doesn't matter enough for people to care.looking at the coverage, no one does. more

Considering the X-Men are dead to the world, villains don’t seem to have much trouble finding them. First Sabretooth in issue 1, now this Yaga Something guy. Speaking of which, Orlando is pretty much ripping of the classic Uncanny X-Men 231, even naming his villain after the antagonist of that same issue, Baba Yaga. The two even look very similar. Now why would you do that, and even mention that v ery story, that, chronologically, happened shortly before this one? I really don’t know.

Now, it probably was meant to be a homage to Claremont and Leonardi’s tale, but it would have been more effective to create a follow-up to that story instead of a cheap and unimaginative repetition of the same themes and visuals, but without the depth.

Speaking of visuals, the art is pretty bad. The last page in particular has some of the laziest art I’ve seen in a while.

The question remains: why do we need this series? It contributes nothing new and exciting to the X-Men canon, quite the opposite: it adds forgettable, low quality 21st century filler slop to a beloved and masterfully executed run, that was already complete and perfect as it was.more

Well I called it. Jed is headed into the big DNX event. lots of build for 3K vs the Xmen, and what happens? we get a fight thats just a big nothing. there is no big confrontation here.just a few panels of a battle. we get a punt down the field . the Beast/ magneto angle is something we had seen so many times. its overplayed and boring...and thats the story of this issue. its a boring nothing. j ust set up for yet another event that probably wont matter. this isn't terrible. but its certainly not any good and if you skipped this issue you'd miss nothing other than Dark Beast stole Magnetos blood to make the X virus. which a blind man could see coming. its so disappointing but again Jed needed to stick the landing here. and he crashed and burned.

the series has had some great character work. The premise is solid. the Joan of arc stuff felt off to me last issue. I really enjoyed this one and im very interested in where this goes with 1 more issue to go.

Zub continues his epic run. One of the very best comic series ive ever read. this is tremendous stuff. this issue was so good.

Almost a perfect issue. We need more comics like this. Joshua Williamson is having fun and it shows. excellent stuff.

Kevin Smith cannot help himself and the lame outdated dialog and jokes overshadow what should be a home run for everyone on the book. instead it's a huge miss. We get small bits of cool moments but the bad well overshadows the good. I almost thought it was Deadpool dressed as Spider-man. RB silva is an amazing artist but even he cannot save the outwit annoying writing on this book. really bad stu ff. more

Cancel the book. look at the number of reviews. as of 8/21 i'm the only user review and I'll tell you... this book is dreadful. Saladin is writing this just like his Wolverine book. that means it's incomprehensible. Shard is awful. Bishop has become Cable more than his own character. don't buy this.

- [ ] Deathstroke #6 We get the ending of the first arc and what a story. Fun action packed. has real stakes. This is the best Deathtroke has been in many year. Tony Fleecs isn't my favorite writing but im eating crow. he nailed this one and shut me up big time. Carime killed it on art duties overall despite some inconsistencies on this issue. hats off and standing ovation on this first story arc .
