I mean, this was alright. Wasn't his best work, but I didn't mind reading it.

Another stellar installment (which is par for the course for this series). We learn more about the creepy little town's history and the tragic story of Clementine Biddle.

This book is so much fun.

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

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.

In just 8 issues, Zeb Wells has so developed and "fleshed-out" these (mostly) unknown characters that I have a sense of familiarity with them. Their actions and dialog don't seem random or forced (e.g. when Empath turned tail and ran, I thought "F#cking Empath, there he goes again"... as if I've know this character for years). Amazing and Brilliant! Hellions has easily become my #1 X-Book. Keep up the great work. more

A fun but ultimately forgettable romp with some of Claremont's favorite characters. Worth checking out if you're a fan of Claremont's past work, but this issue isn't anything groundbreaking.

Its a shame, this JL does nothing for me but JLD has tons of promise.
But alas, they're now shoehorning it in with JL proper so I won't be reading it moving forward.
If I could split this, JL: 4/10 JLD: 8/10

Like most anthologies this one is hit-and-miss. The book-end stories from Ram V are really good, especially the first one, and I loved Tynion's short. The rest range from dull to serviceable.

This review is really just for the JLD story (which was a full 22 pages on it's own meaning it should've just been a separate comic). I liked this story and I'm curious to see how the fight with Merlin will play out. Zee's rag-tag group of heroes are a nice shake-up from the main JLD cast and I love how Etrigan is stuck in Bobo now.

This is really just setup, but I enjoyed the twist of "It's been thousands of years and they're just really different people/islands" and I'm excited for the election plot. On it's own, this issue is really nothing, but it's loaded with promise for future issues.

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!

I really enjoyed this. Between Ram V's JLD annual and this issue, I am very excited to see what he has in store for Swampy.

I was concerned about Vita Ayala taking over, but they're actually a good fit. This series was easily the most turbulent of the Dawn of X books, but hopefully this new direction stabilizes the title for Reign of X.

Great start of a new era. I felt like this series is finally clicking to what it's going to be. I dig the new direction. Putting this in my pull list and in for the ride. The art was also a great fit for the story. I felt like this issue had a good grasp of the old familiar characters and created some interesting new ones. I recommend picking this up if you love a X-Men tale that feels familiar but full of so much new possibilities. more

I think this was a fantastic comeback! So excited for the next installment.!

This is the course correction and hopefully a newer direction these characters need. Ayala seems to be right for this book. Rod Reis makes it so enjoyable too. Reis's art style and colors are spot on for this young cast and he delivers an awesome experience.

Probably Howard's most solid issue of X of Swords so far. This definitely should have been a 15 issue event

I really felt like I missed something with Cypher and Bei.

This might not have been the best of issues but I feel like people are a bit harsh with Hickman, there are A LOT of more bad books in the industry that are getting better reviews here and, for better or worse, he has created something interesting with the X-Men, something the franchise desperately needed.

Curious what happens next but I thought this iss was fairly boring.

Another great chapter! Department Of Truth #4 is an intense and emotional psychological thriller that tests how far Cole is willing to go to help preserve the world.

This was an okay issue. Mostly acts as a X Of Swords epilogue but it does set up some interesting future storylines. I'm excited to see who will be on the new X-Men team!

This is a better issue, but still not great. It's a shame this title will end on a crossover tie-in.

Looks like JLD will be retooled into a back-up feature in the main Justice League book starting in March; which is a huge bummer. Its not worth continuing if it's gonna be back-up to another comic I don't care about. I haven't been reading the Endless Winter event (thank X Of Swords for crossover fatigue) but I wanted to get JLD #29 as it is the last issue and I've been a loyal follower of this series. Surprisingly, this issue actually reads pretty well on its own for being chapter 7 of a crossover. Lanning and Marz provide a nice little epilogue to the series. I never really felt lost and am glad to have read this as a closing chapter to an overall great series. Goodbye JLD! more

This issue reads pretty quickly as it is mostly an action issue. We see a bit more of Josh's family and how he met his wife. Overall an alright issue but I feel like this series is starting to limp it's way to the finish line.

Miller's original Dark Knight mini-series is overrated (not bad, just overrated) while DK2: The Dark Knight Strikes Again is more fun than it gets credit for. So how does DKIII: The Master Race hold up compared to the first two? I know I'm in a minority here but it's actually my favorite of the trilogy. Miller has never been one of my favorite Batman writers which is why I like how DK2 and The Master Race feel more akin to Justice League stories as opposed to stories centered around only Batman. Azzarello helps further flesh out Miller's DC Universe with an ensemble cast of flawed heroes that feel more like real people than their regular DCU counterparts. more

Great jumping-on issue! I like having the OG New Mutants become teachers for another generation. Ayala does a good job of juggling a large cast and I'm excited for what they have in store for their run.
