Apocalypse?? What a cool twist, I love the future timelines and hope they get fleshed out more. The art by Silva looks a lot better than last issue, and the colors by Gracia are still ridiculously good. Both HoX and PoX just pop with the colors and art. And of course Hickman delivers the goods with some of the most inventive stories at Marvel in years

of Five?? Hope that doesn't mean this is a limited series. I would love to see Kadyn grow up or some kind of continuation of this story.

Idk, I really enjoy this series. I can see why it's controversial because it seems like Grant Morrison doubled his drug consumption and is just writing the most bonkers stuff. However, it's so wildly creative that I can't fault him for it. I never expected to see stoner Green Lantern again after Multiversity, and yet here he is. I like this series also because it's so separate from the rest of the DC Universe. It's so nice to be able to read a series that doesn't feel like it needs to cross over with any other major team or superhero. Sharp's art still amazes more

Great solid issue. This Justice League run continues to be my favored compared to Marvel's team book Avengers (which is still solid, just not as good as this). Only gripe I have with this story wise is it's filler until #30, the start of the doom war. Art is pretty good, but gonna be happy when Jorge Jimenez is back. Onto Doom War!

Mystery's heating up. As stated in my last review of #1, Rucka knows how to write grounded characters, especially Montoya, given his run w/ Brubaker on Gotham Central. Who woulda guessed one of my favorite DC books right now doesn't even involve a superhero... The art is great, it reminds me of Bryan Hitch's art, which I really like also.

And just like that...King lost me again. This is getting a 6 (edit 5.5) from me solely because of the art and atmosphere. With only 10 issues left on the title, King seems to be taking his sweet time because the plot with Bruce goes nowhere in this issue, it's just setting up Gotham's atmosphere, which is cool, but the last issue already did that. We already know it's a bizarro world in Gotham. Daniel's art is great as always, but unfortunately it seems to be wasted. more

I know a lot of people said Bendis and King should switch places after issue 1. I was one of the few who thought neither of them should be writing these characters. But after this, maybe they should switch books... King seems to really get Superman

Huge improvement over the last issue. Zdarsky writes an amazing Matt, and it falls in line with every version of the character we've seen from the TV show to comics, etc. My only complaint if there is one, is that Sharma's art isn't as good as Chechetto's in the first couple issues. Not to say it's bad, just not as good. Chechetto will be a welcome comeback in later issues. Overall, this series is shaping out to be one of the best Daredevil runs in a character who has had amazing writers: Miller, Bendis, Brubaker, Waid. more

Holy shit. Literally that's all can be said, this is the most important x men event, not to mention just marvel events in general.

Edit: just wanted to say this book deserves an "X / X" ;)

Cates quickly became one of my favorite writers after his Thanos run and his current Venom run. This opening to the event doesn't disappoint. It's accessible to new readers because of the refresher in the first act. The second act shows off a good relationship between Spidey and Eddie. Side note, I love Cates's writing of the symbiote and Eddie, it really gives the symbiote a character, something that's not shown a lot. The third act is spectacular, very evocative of horror books. The art by Stegman might be my favorite that he has done so far for Venom. The details are so pretty to look at, and I really liked the way he draws Spider-Man. Overall fantastic, if Marvel events in the future are gonna be like this, War of the Realms, and House of X/Powers of X; Marvel might just get me to be a regular reader again. more

After House of X, this was boring. Just like old Cable issues, I find it hard to care about new future characters. Also, 10 years between founding and present ignores the fact that it's been at LEAST 14 years Marvel time. This book sucks.

Wow, this series just keeps getting better, I really think this is much better than amazing spider man rn

This series will only entertain people who have read all of Morrison's DC work and have an understanding of silver age

Downgraded review from 9 to 8.5. In hindsight, the ending is a little disappointing. I wish it ended with some finality to the Batman who Laughs, instead of setting up the new series. He was a great character, but the weight of the series and Snyder leaving Batman has been lost because its just setting up another series. A small shame, but overall, the series was entertaining.

The art and colors are amazing, this book and House of X will have no problems in this regard.

On the other hand, if House of X 1 allowed the reader to notice a new rebirth for the X-Men franchise, it is this number that really opens a new era for mutants. I like the new characters and the story seems interesting, there are important dialogues and you can feel how the story moves forward.

At some point the "annexes", tables or graphs or explanations, etc., seemed a bit boring but I think they are needed to lay the foundations for everything that is coming. Certainly, sometimes it is somewhat confusing and it may be that new readers are totally lost but if you analyze all this as a single story you can conclude that Hickman did not lie, this will change the history of the X-Men. more

Liking this run a lot so far

Mystery deepens with this issue, Hickman once again shows how adept he is at connecting one story with two books. I like the different timelines and him taking influence from days of Future past, but with new characters and twists. RB Silva's art isn't as good as Pepe larraz's imo but it's still good, and Gracia's colors once again elevate the book greatly.

Liked it a lot! The setup is good, i love theyre going with the secret identity route, which is somewhat lost in modern comics for some reason (i.e. MCU-related). The art reminds me of David Marquez, who recently signed an exclusive contract with DC. Generally, Im curious how this series is gonna play out, i couldnt tell when Ewing or Aaron was writing the dialogue, and wonder which one of them is gonna be the main, if either of them. more

surprisingly interesting. not really telling anything new of course, this reads more like history 101 on the marvel universe. but the art is fantastic, and the dialogue flows really well. If anyone wanted a TLDR on the marvel universe, this series should be picked up; however, it might read better in trade i think

good first issue. Art is great as always, and I like the setup they're going with Joker and Azrael. My complaint about this issue is it is very short compared to the other black label titles. I was expecting around 40 pages, but this was just the normal length of a comic book

Almost missed this because of House of X and other new issues coming out this week. The story is an 8.5 with an overall touching message, but very short. What really elevates this issue is obviously Alex Ross's art, which is still spectacular. Too bad this issue seems to not be getting as much attention as House of X or other issues.

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said by anyone else. This is definitely worth the hype, one of the best x men issues in the past couple years and it's only the first one. If this is gonna be an example of what's to come, X-Men will be in amazing hands. Story and art both top notch
