Logan X reviewed Marauders #4 Aug 6, 2022
Whether it be the art or the writing there is very little I find recognizable about the characters.
The frenetic layouts of the pages are confusing and continuously pulls the story away from the reader.
If there is anything of interest happening the creative team are doing their best to hide it since nothing of interest comes through.

THE FIRST GENERATION OF MUTANTKIND?

Pryde and her crew might've convinced Xandra to confront the Shi'ar's crimes against mutantkind together, but the fanatical Kin Crimson are ready to defend those secrets to the death.

Logan X reviewed Avengers #57 Jul 2, 2022
I never thought I would be saying these words, I might stop reading The Avengers.
Such a mess.
I have yet to have an investment with any of the characters that is Aaron is writing in this series. It’s as if they are strangers in familiar uniforms.
Is there even a payoff for this series that will be worth all the time and money I have invested? I doubt it.

Logan X reviewed Marauders #3 Jun 26, 2022
The more I see the art the less of a connection I have to this book. While Orlando has pulled some amazing rabbits out of hats in regards to X-Men lore I cannot take the storyline seriously though this lens of a second rate Saturday morning cartoon. I wanted to love Marauders but I have been dragging myself through these 3 issues looking at barely recognizable faces of characters that I have loved more

So many moving parts that we know Spurrier will put together.
