Chris Y reviewed X-Men: Hellfire Vigil #1 Jul 2, 2025
I could write a detailed review, but I just don't know where to begin. Everything about this issue is horrible - the story, the art, the dialogue and especially the forced shipping of characters. Let's not even talk about Ororo's pregnancy test. It's as close to a saccharine Manga comic for girls as a superhero comic can get. You'd have to pay me to read another issue of this poor quality.

One year ago, at the final Hellfire Gala, the dream of a unified mutant nation was forever shattered by a cowardly sneak attack by anti-mutant forces. To mark the moment and to proclaim loudly and strongly to all concerned that mutantkind still stands, the time has come for X-Men of all stripes to come together in solidarity and celebration. Writte...
Yeah. I think the crowd that loves the current X-books doesn't really exist. They are trying to cater to a demographic that doesn't actually read superhero comics. And you can't trust the professional reviews anymore. I don't believe that any of the pro reviewers actually think this is good.
The Comic Book Revolution review is pretty accurate, but much too kind and forgiving.

The setup of this issue is puzzling, to say the least. When we last saw Prof. X, all he wanted to do was help his daughter. Now suddenly he is after the last Krakoan seed, which makes the inclusion of NYX in this crossover feel forced and unnatural. I also wondered if I had missed an issue of X-Manhunt.
Of course Kelly and Lanzing need to insert their usual moral lecturing into the plo more

I thought this issue was terrible, however, to your comments: it literally says Xandra is the most important thing to him. He tasked them with the seed so he could get the helmet, presumably to be able to reach further with his mind.
