(Warning, there are spoilers below. Don't say I didn't warn you)

THE GOOD:

-Sara Pichelli's art was quite good. She captures the character and tone of the issue really well.

-I like just how fun this series is. It's a bit like the modern MCU movies (Minus Infinity War), it's just a fun adventure.

-I think that Slott captures the characters of Reed and Sue very well, I liked both of their characters.

THE BAD:

-This book just doesn't feel memorable. For such a highly advertised series, it should be a bit more memorable than that.

-The writing itself is a bit too cheesy for my taste. It doesn't pause for a more serious moment, as it should.

-That last page was not effective for me. It was just trying too hard.

-Critically speaking, too much happened in this issue. It rushes things, it moved too fast.

-I just wish we got to know the kid a bit more, they were really just background noise in this issue. That's why we weren't hit in the feels when one of them died. more

Good, entertainmg story, but I still think Avengers 1000000 Years BC is a ludicrous idea. Who cares??

Oh dear... suddenly I am not liking the direction of this story. It went full gimmick and the excuse for it is a little goofy. The one-shots should be fun, but I now fear for the main event.

Too talkative & not very good. I find Gamora boring.

Cover - The connecting - Nice not related. 1/2
Writing - Worse & worse with each issue. 1/3
Arts - Love the art. Next time I see deodato on a crossover I will have to resist because I didn't like this story or Original sin. 3/3
Feeling - I was wrong to trust marvel on this ! 0/2

Everything has gone from bad to worse, for the characters but especially for the narrative which is a mess. Gamora doesn't have a solid motivation for why she is doing any of this. characters stand around and do nothing except quip plot. Characters are dead now for some reason (hello? moondragon is alive, Duggan. even Bendis knew that) Deodato's messy paneling doesn't help the already messy plot. This event had a shakey start and just keeps crashing. Do yourself a favour and save the money on this one. more

Infinity Wars #3 focuses almost entirely on two characters--Gamora and Loki (currently the most overused villain in the Marvel Universe). This issue lacks the drama of the issues preceding it. Gerry Duggan's scripting is readable and witty (as usual), but the story's pace slows to a crawl. The primary purpose seems to be setting-up spinoffs--which makes one wonder whether the primary purpose of this event series is to get people to buy more comics. Is there a story that matters here? It's not yet clear.

The book continues to look great. Mike Deodato's art and Frank Martin's colors are consistently strong from start to finish. But the visuals are not enough to keep this issue from falling flat. more

If you loved classics like Axis and Fear Itself this is right up your alley. Oh, you didn’t. But maybe you loved the Hydra Cap story. Oh you didn’t.
Well, Marvel goes for it again with Gamora creating an alternative universe where several heroes are merged and you end up with such interesting concepts as Soldier Supreme and Weapon Hex. This is not that bad a concept, but it happens for absolutely np reason and it absolutely doesn’t make sense, nor does Gamora’s quest. No character gets any decent time besides Gamora, Loki and a new old Valkyrie named Growa.
Mike Deodato’s art continues to be a terrible fit for the story and the stakes seem to be absolutely zero. Of course there are a zillion tie ins with the merged super heroes for you to invest your money on.
One of the worst stories of the year. more

In my opinion, the writing in this issue is not deserving of the art. I quite liked the art, but the writing is just painful. It contains zero emotion which just might be a good thing to have in an issue where Storms freaking second mother dies. I think her characterization is good, which is a good thing considering there are probably only two other characters in this series have the honor of even okay characterization. I'm getting tired of Mesmero as a villain and would really like to see him leave. Besides the art, the only relief this issue brings me is that we are one issue closer to the end of the series. more

Twenty pages where nothing happens. The first half of this book is wasted on Gentle, an obscure character that nobody cares about. The second half is spent preparing for an unnecessarily elaborate heist which is then mostly skipped over. The closest thing to action in this book is when Nightcrawler teleports the team onto the transport plane, once again ignoring 40+ year old rules about how Nightcrawler's powers work.

As I recall from Grant Morrison's New X-Men, Cassandra Nova was motivated to kill mutants by a desire for revenge against her brother Professor Xavier. Now that Xavier is dead (sort of) Taylor claims that Nova wants to kill all mutants because, well ..., she's afraid of mutants? None of this makes sense.

Honey Badger is still awful, and she's dragging the once great X-23 down with her. more

X Men Red has never risen above mediocrity. The whole set up continues to be absurd.
Despite being a Jean Grey vehicle, there is no character work much less development for her beyond the tired set up of her being blamed for a crime she did not committ. There are no stakes, no suspense. Is anyone in doubt that her name will be cleared up?
X Men Red seems to be a place holder to give the character something to do before a new team of writers take over the X Men franchise. There is no other reason why the talented Tom Taylor would deliver such a middling story. more

Any comic that has Batman taking a shit as part of the narrative is a badly written comic.

Not to mention Rogol Zaar is the most boring DONUT STEEL CHARACTER. If I wanted to read about this cosmic warlord that is so threatening to entire civilizations, I'd read Dragon Ball Z, because Frieza does a better job at that than Rogol Zaar.

This issue was a combination of recapping and stalling. I probably could have skipped this issue and moved onto the third issue.

I have to confess I had some concern about Extermination. Infinity Countdown was not that great, and X-men Blue had a bad arc with Jimmy with a symbiot. So I stop my sollicitation with issue 2 and feared a lot about this reading. But seen the other review there put some hope even if sometime we can have different taste.
So I read it torn by fear & hope & loved what I read. So yeah I was worried to see Bloodstorm & Cyclops together. And I find the first killing very dramatic & maybe to easy. I was surprised by the second one, and I love who the X-men unite at last. I would have imagined another version of this character for the ending so that a good add to my surprise.

Cover - I have the one with Angel. I will don't lie, I not like it. But it's not a bad draw and in part in link. 1/2
Writing - The way the story is told was really good, even if as a french the "French like France" was maybe to much. When I see a American, I don't tell my friend "He speak American. Like the US". I wonder if we will see their powers. French Mutant for once I'm happy, I hope this will not be a trap. 3/3
Arts - Larraz did great. Nice Panel, nice Layout, nice character. I loved reading it. 3/3
Feeling - I'm thrilled and I hope the next one will not disappoint me. 2/2 more

Brisson has delivered a very good first issue with a great story. Of course Pepe Larraz is the star here. His art is so good and i struggle to find a weakness in it. It was made even better by Gracia's colors. I knew his colors were familiar so i checked and he was the colorist for Immonen back in All New X-men in 2013. Gracia made it look very similar and i enjoyed the consistency. Kudos to everyone!! more

The first great X Men issue in years. Ed Brisson is a great writer and I expect great things from him.
This recalls the best X Men stories in creating an apocalyptic sense of dread, with not one but two major deaths, and a menace out of Days of Future Past.
That said, I’m wary of the next few issues as this involves a lot of time travelling and young versions from alternate timelines. Still, I’m sure Brisson will pull it off.
The art by Larraz is striking. One of the best artists in comics. more

Absolutely abysmal art. I found the return of the Femme Fatales intriguing but the writing is a mess.
Bad writing and bad art make for a confusing story. Shamelessly bad.

These Wolverine mini series compete amongs themselves to see which one is worst.
The revelations at the ending are intriguing, but did we have to endure 4 issues of a mediocre story to get thar? Really bad.
