Nice issue, gives good backstory to the events of AXE. I like the style of the art, but Villanova could do a bit of work on faces sometimes, it is not as good as a Ribic that thst can be forgiven (though the faces are definitely better than Ribics).

A.X.E.: Death to the Mutants #1

By: Kieron Gillen, Guiu Villanova
Released: Aug 17, 2022

The mutants are Deviants. Eternals are coded to correct excess deviation. The mutants are eternal, Mars colonizers, ever-spreading. Eternals know what they should do. Our heroes don't want to, but can they resist the murderous designs coded into their body as surely as any Sentinel? And if they can't, can anyone survive the coming judgment?

Great character study of a character I have never cared about before this issue. Works perfectly with AXE, though I imagine it would also work well on its own.

The art is a real let down compared to Ribic on Eternals (even with his wonky faces), but its a nice epilogue to the series and prologue to AXE.

Criminology. - Nov 7, 2024

Yeah, I get you. But I think that the people who would not pick the comics up because of him and his resonings, should really not pick the issue. Like if his arguments appeal to them, they are obviously not the target audience and would have only wasted their money on something they would not like, which in turn would probably bring other negative reviews built on the same basis. But still, i don't think anybody takes any of the critics so seriously unless they all agree with something.

Criminology. - Nov 7, 2024

But challenging stuff and talking about stuff like this IMO is really good and i hope Gabe Hernandez sees this, so he would have a chance to reevaluate things or at least make his case.
