I’m not afraid to overhype it. It’s just a comic, but it’s a well executed comic.

Make sure these picture aren’t stuck together, and get ready for some solid sequences. The bar was set higher and higher each issue, and DWJ somehow still had more fuel to elevate with.

I even felt the cover for 7 added to my enjoyment of the ending… that’s a rare treat to help with the wait ;) more

Crazy pumped for the finale, I’m glad I waited for it to release before reading the penultimate, too. The wait would’ve been rough.

All I’ll say is that I looked up a toy on eBay afterwards before even starting 6. Look for cover B ;)

I’m impressed by the nuance injected into Transformers, for crying out load.

I’ll leave it at that.

All I’ll say is make sure your pages aren’t stuck together for this issue.

Like any great arc, the writer surprises by somehow continuing to simply outdo themselves again and again.

Expected a slower issue after a nonstop first issue, but only got the bar raised further for the rest of the series.

This writer knows how to bring weight to a story about robot aliens that change into cars for some reason.

It’s great when a first issue can manage setup and momentous action.

Sometimes a writer/artist combo pays off beautifully, and this is a prime example.

I great first issue for anybody that wants to see a trex fight a mech

Now *this* is what I wanted from Legion of X. With the crossover forcing him to focus (and a better collaborator in the tireless Paco Medina), Spurrier returns to the heights he reached in Way of X. The bloated cast is pared down here to just Mother Righteous (the best and most interesting new idea in LoX, and this is her best appearance yet) and Vox Ignis (an idea I was skeptical of in LoX, but who shines now that he's got a little room to do so) and it makes an immense difference.

And while the Nightcrawler chimeras are largely background characters with personalities that are by necessity pale imitations of the characters they're based on, Spurrier & Medina give them enough weight that they nevertheless feel meaningful, using them to comment on Nightcrawler himself and giving them personas that are just enough off-center from their other progenitors to make them feel distinct without being so far off that they're unrecognizable. (I can't quite imagine Peter Parker yelling "yee-haw" about swinging on a chain, but not because it's outside the scope of things the original character could in theory do.) I'm glad it's Spurrier writing the chimeras; the uncanny balance they require plays to his strengths.

Three chapters in and this crossover is coming out white hot. By default I tend to roll my eyes at Events, but even I have to admit that the post-Hickman era has been great for X-crossovers in general: Judgment Day was fantastic, and the Dark Web X-Men mini surprised me by being the best thing about its otherwise-disappointing parent crossover. This has been a great era to be an X-fan! more

These past two issues of Wolverine feel really connected to Percy's X-Force run, and I have found that enjoyable since it is moving the collective plot of both books forward. It is nice to see Domino back in action and challenging the current state of affairs with her team members, especially with Sage, who really needs some help, and Hank, who seems to have become a full-blown villian by the end of this issue. Just because X-Force shows up doesn't mean Wolverine dropped out of his own book either, and Percy does a good job of showing the tragedy of Logan being turned into a mindless weapon once again. A revenge plot is definitely on the horizon and I can't wait until Wolverine regains his senses and is able to do what he does best to Beast for his actions. more

I’m giving it a 9 just because there is no way it deserves the review bombs.

I want to catch up on Dr Stasis… can anybody recommend which issues of this series to collect just for that goal?

Thanks!

Great art, great pacing, impressive writing.

I can already tell that I’m gonna reread this book at least 100 times in my life.

I picked up the first for the art alone, and was surprised by the writing. The second is continuing to bring depth to the writing that I didn’t expect.

How is this not more popular?

Books like this are why I don’t settle for tpbs and omnibuses.

Buy a copy for your collection, and a copy for your bedside. You’ll never grow tired of a revisit.

I don’t know how you don’t grab a copy based on curb appeal alone.

The writing is only great, not fantastic, but that doesn’t hold the art and story overall from being fantastic.

Tradd Moore can do no wrong.

Bought based on the B cover and a flip through, and wasn’t disappointed. I haven’t been keeping up, but sometimes I don’t mind just cherry picking the payoff issue

Which other Ewing stories does this tie back to?

Thanks!

Is it just me, or does the ending of 6 and beginning of 7 leave a substantial gap?

Is there a tie in that I missed that covers *that* story beat?

I really, really like the art.

It’s nice that the baton from Hickmann landed in Gillen’s hands. I liked the Eternals, and I like this so far.

My God Man. What a great time to be reading comics. I hope that if you are reading this event that your getting the whole thing it's absolutely mind blowing. If you can get all kinds of emotions from a reader then that's what a great book is all about and this is it.

This issue was great for me, and it looks like the event only is going to maintain steam from here on out.

SPOILERS

…..

This issue felt like to me to be the end of Gillen’s efforts to characterize the Progenitor for us. He’s not a villain like Uranos or Thanos with alotta hard understanding behind how they think and act. For me, he really came into form in the last two issues. more

I see now how X-men Red has a 3-part arc within this event. It’s shorter than the mainline’s 6/Hex part pace, but that only makes it more potent; it is an essential leg of this event, and not to be skipped.

I cannot wait for the next issue.

If you like the B cover for this issue, then you should be following along.

The pacing delivers. Some comics make promises, or half bake setups, but this event was clearly thought out issue to issue. 6 issues seems like it will be the perfect break up for this mainline of the event. I’m so glad we only have to wait a week for the next issue.

Flip through it before buying it so that you know what you’re paying $8 for. It is great art.

Perfect start. I want more, and I happen to know since I’m all caugh my up at this point, so I can safely say that issues 2 & 3, in conjunction with XRed 5 and ImmX 5, deliver on the setups built here.

Try to go in blind ;)

I like the pacing of this 3-patter so far.

Not my favorite art, but it’s just my taste… it meets the high bar set by the other pieces.

If every event tie-in was this impactful to an event, then I’d have to buy ALOT more comics.

Great standalone, and absolutely essential to AXE.

Not the wall-to-wall action issue that the synopsis got me hyped for, but still a great character study of a character that is essential to AXE, yet I I knew little about.

Essential for AXE.
