I feel like the art fit the tone of the book. It's like a B- grade level artist but he does a hell of a job. There's also room for him to grow. The story though, the story was fantastic. I'm not going to get too deep into it because I'm not trying to review the book like a normal reviewer. I'll just say there are a few kinds of books.

Oh, I forgot to add the colors. I do not like Federico Blee. He is quite possibly my least favorite colorist. I know he can do better, I've seen him do better, but he does the same color palette in every book and everything is overly pink and purplish and it's just enough already. I'm so sick of seeing his colors. He did a cover for X-Men blue a long while back. I think Corey Smith did the cover, they were incredible. Where the hell is that color palette?

This was more of the odd ball kind of books we needed in the X line. Keep this and trim the fat of all the solo titles, except maybe Wolverine cause that will sell not matter what, and at least one "team" book and maybe the X books can get back to being fun to read. I'll say I'm not a huge fan of the art but it feels unique and I think it will grow on me, not to mention the coloring on this issu more

Unfortunately the coloring will never grow on you and it's because Federico Blee is just not a good colorist. I don't know what this love affair of his with pink is, but it's everywhere in every one of his books. His colors come off muddy a lot too.

I was surprised by how good this was. I expected a typical empty calorie spinoff mini series but this actually had some nutrition. I enjoyed the individual unique team members, their dynamics, and how they were written. The art was quite good too. I hope this is given the chance to run for a while, there seems to be plenty of meat on the bone for this story.

I was a tad apprehensive when this title was first announced. It was probably the furthest from what I expected an early X-Men series to be about. I really didn’t know what to expect going into this issue but after reading this a few times now, I can confidently say @alexpaknadel has produced one of the smartest stories of this young era.

It shows a bigger scope perhaps, but that remains to be seen.

This is an issue that has a good enough idea, with a good enough premise, that is let down by the execution of said idea and premise. King just writes Wonder Woman weird. I wish there was a more profound reasoning here, but there isn't. She's an overly stoic strong female character, at her core, and that rigidity makes for an uncompelling character arc. She does lose grip and get broken down here, more

I don't know why Tom King is so addicted and loves non-linear structure, but this story was just plain old boring.

I think it's been since rebirth since we've had a top-tier team on Wonder Woman. Unfortunately they had to give us Tom King this time around. The art team is Top choice though. The dude is so long-winded, everything he writes is exhausting to read. Why can't Wonder Woman in Flash get some top-tier talent?

The problem with this run is that there's no coherent flow or structure in the story. Wonder Woman was in prison, yet she somehow escapes and is on a beach. How did this happen? Well we dont know, it happened off-screen. Cheetah comes up, and the only reason this isnt lower is because this is Daniel Sampere's best work (even better than Dark Crisis), and I really do like the back up story.

This continues the trend of a being a slog to read due to the heavy narration but in the end King gets to some solid feels for both Diana and Cheetah.

However the back issue continues the trend of King being the worst writer of Damian and Jon ever and I'm really hoping other creators don't mistake these awful portrayals to be accurate for these characters in future stories.

I've been a fan since day one. I may be too positive on it, admittedly. But I've been reading Spider-Man forever and this run feels like Spider-Man to me. Some of the arcs have been a little wonky, like 2099 and Chameleon Conspiracy, but overall, it's one of my top series on shelves today. Nick Spencer just had his reputation tarnished due to the response to Secret Empire. It's a shame because he's a really good writer. Some people just weren't willing to get past the idea of Hydra Cap.
