A bittersweet ending to one of the best titles in the Krakoa era. I'll miss this team a lot.

Solid emotional story beats for everyone! Zub made me feel sad for... Nanny? Great conclusion to the best Hickman era series.

Such a good book...I'm going to miss this title and this bizarre team. 10/10 for the issue and 100/10 for the series.

This was fantastic. I feel like it's a big problem within the comics fandom where readers are so focused on the plot furthering the overall narrative that when you get a comic that is all character, they act like it's completely worthless. Stop being so lame and pointless yourselves, and maybe you'll learn to enjoy super fun issues like this.

Definitely a tie-in/filler issue for the "Hellfire Gala" event, but of the three X books released this week, this was the most entertaining and had the best art (thanks Segovia and Team). While not the most substantive of issues, it was a fun read with some character development and light-hearted moments.

This issue definitely takes some unexpected twists and turns. A good conclusion to another good Hellions arc; even if it did feel a little rushed. Mr. Sinister is pushing Psylocke to the edge and it'll be exciting to see how/when she'll finally push back.

Excellent!!! Zeb Wells gives us an interesting (and unexpected) little twist at the end of this story arc. While Sinister might have taken a couple of "hits" from Arcade and company, in the end Sinister proves that he is the master chess player. BTW...Zeb Wells is giving us the "BAD-ASS, TAKE-NO-PRISONER, F-YOU" Psylocke that she is meant to be AND injecting her with depth and characterization. Thank Editorial that Kwannon is back in her own body. Our little Psychic Ninja isn't just a pin-up anymore.

As always S. Segovia and crew knocked it out of the ballpark with the art, colors, and lettering. The opening pages (with 50 years of piled up pseudo-Psylocke corpses) looked like the dystopian hell from "Mad Max." And for whatever reason, I friggin' loved the scene of Psylocke using her thumb to begin to unsheathe her blade as a shadowy figure approaches...I heard the "click" and could sense both the overall tension and her resolve.

Fucking Brilliant. more

That was alot to absorb. By the end of the issue I felt like Havok.
I don't care how much fan-service there was in the drawings of Psylocke in this issue , did she really have to throw up those robots?
The antagonist being baited to do himself in was comedy, and proved Empath has a reach that extends past what limits he belives he has.
And yeah, John's save of Psylocke was cool. And Nanny? Creepy as always down to the final panel. All the issue missed was Sinister's pomp, but that should be expected in the next issue.
Havok really has to toughen up.

Zeb Wells continues to prove why Hellions is the best X-Men title right now. This issue features great moments with Empath, Havok and Nanny; proving this truly is a team book and not just a Kwannon book disguised as a team book. Marvel, please don't cancel this title!

Another quality issue. I was hoping to get more info about Orphan-Maker's power, but no such luck...maybe next month.

Another great issue. The consistent quality of this book is giving me anxiety because I'm fearful that the bottom is gonna fall out. Hellions is easily my favorite current X-Book (and I really like most of them). PLEASE Marvel- give Zeb Wells, Stephen Segovia, and the entire creative team raises so they stay with this book.

(Shoutout to my girl Psylocke for her passive-aggressive "middle finger" to Sinister). more

The "X of Swords" event is only important to Hellions #6 because it provides explanation for the team's mission. I agree with others that it shouldn't be considered a "chapter" in the crossover. Having said that, it's still the BEST of all the the chapters so far. Sinister's ulterior motivations for the Hellions' journey has resulted in the best action of the event. I'm more interested in what's gonna happen to the Hellions than I am in the sword bearers and their lame(ish) duels. more

XOS Ch. 6: I love this series! Wells continues to create entertaining dynamics between the team members and it'll be interesting to see how Greycrow reacts to Empath's humiliation of him.

This series has been good even before this event. But this issue was awesome. It's a unique take on what the Hellions will do for this event. And it's just fun! the dialogue, the interactions, the premise, it's all just comic book hijinks that feels fun and doesn't distract from the overall point to the event. Love to see what happens next with the Hellions. The art is also fantastic. It feels good to have the X-Men books back on top of their game after so many years more

Oh my God, this is amazing! And just look at that cape

What a great way to include the Hellions into the "X of Swords" mega-story. Even better, I love how Zeb Wells is setting up their journey. I can't wait to see how the team's dynamics are gonna play out. (Methinks Empath has purchased another ticket for the "resurrection express" - he better hope they work out the kinks to the system). To top it off, Sinister(ish) is leading the mission...to quote Psylocke, "This one's going to end badly."

The art is spectacular too...Carnero (and team) have continued the awesome quality that Segovia (and team) have provided in the first four issues. more

XOS Ch. 5: I honestly never liked Storm being connected to Black Panther. There are some nice moments of Storm being the badass she always naturally is, but sadly this is another weak entry in the X Of Swords saga. I'm a little worried this event (which started off so strongly) is already beginning to lose steam. Here's hoping it can bounce back!
