"I am surprise to repeat myself again" Your surprised lol
In some ways this was a thrilling romp — the scene with Xavier and David was the best thing in the book so far — and in others it suffers from the problem that this book has had all along where there's just too much stuff going on to give anything much depth or even attention, and even with everything coming to a head the team's plotlines (where it has them — Juggernaut, Lost and Forget-Me-Nmore
IT'S A WILD, WILD WORLD!
The rise of mutant monsters has put mutantkind on high alert as the question of "who will be next?" grows imminent. On Krakoa, a bizarre eco-technological structure has risen around Nightcralwer's home, and Vox Ignis is on the case to figure out the origins. What he discovers has the potential to bring the foundation of...
Erry Duggan is *RUINING* this book, and this team! Can someone at Marvel replace this hack with someone who can write a X-Men story!
GETTING INTO SYNCH!
Synch has a lot to sort out. His life has been derailed, his powers have grown and he's experienced a loss that no one understands. The universe has had its way with him. Now... it's his turn.

Wow, was this solid! I'm sure it is paving the way for next year's "Sins of Sinister" event, but good Lord! So, so much bits and gore! And the things Sinister has set in motion, so intriguingly interesting!
Some will piss and moan, that this wasn't what Jonathan Hickman had intended! To that I say, "Poppycock!" Hickman has said he left notes behind, and while I believe Steve Orlando is more
VOTE. DIE. REPEAT.
Putting the "Meat" in office meeting. Trust me, bad spelling is the least of the Quiet Council's problems as everything hits the fan.

Holy Mutant Resurrection! That was effing brilliant! Seriously, where was this writing in the first 16 issues (well, maybe 15, as 16 was pretty good, too)?! I am of the opinion that Gerry Duggan has been trolling us, having us for a lengthy spell, a spell which ended with this lovely confection!

THE BEST LAID PLANS...
As the new X-Men team brings deals with a seemingly unstoppable foe, one X-Man wrestles with the fact they've gone way too far, and another is shaken by unexpectedly getting exactly what they'd no longer allowed themselves to dream of.

This series feels like classic Spidey. Maybe its the art, or action packed fast paced storytelling, but it reminds me of the 90s Spidey cartoon a bit and that is not a bad thing at all.
Beyond qualms with Peter's relationship status that don't bother me much, I'm enjoying this series... and the Gold Goblin suit is very cool. Norman as a whole has been very interesting to read since havi more

I thought this issue was very energetic. Romita's art can be hit or miss, but the energy and motion of it is undeniable and one of its best qualities. This issue sets up some interesting things going forward, that I do hope deliver.

I wanted to HATE this, as Gerry Duggan's writing on this series has been lackluster: never truly bad, but never truly great, either! However, With this issue (and the previous issue, as they both seem to compliment each other in his CotV arc), he seemed to redeem himself for the moment (no Spoilers, y'all, promise)!
I am a bit late to the party, so most of what needed to be said has alr more
FORGING A WAY AHEAD! Forge has a secret mission that he's been working on for the Quiet Council for some time. Now that he's been elected to be one of the X-Men - the world's greatest heroes - it's time to put it into action...even if it does break some of the laws of Krakoa.

THESE X-MEN ARE... FEARLESS!
The heroes of Krakoa are here to save the planet! Things might be complicated between the nation of Krakoa and the rest of the world, but to the X-MEN, things are simple - you do what's right, you protect those who need protecting and you save the world we all share. Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Sunfire,...

Solid! Everything I wanted to say has already been said! This was just bloody brilliant, and not because I am a sucker for agood Victorian English romp! This just gets me more excited for next year's "Sins of Sinister" event! #SupereXcited!

I liked it well enough, but at the end of the day, it disappointed. The whole thing felt too long, and the last issue could have happened two issues ago! And, I am surprised to repeat myself again, but seriously WTF is up with DragRace contestant StarFox??!? I get that everyone needs a redo every now and then, but this one is just absolute rubbish! So, yeah, some great ideas, some interesting talkmore
The apocalyptic finale of the event of the year. It's not that nothing will be the same again - it's that unless heroes can find a new way to be heroes, everything will be nothing forever.
Rated T+
When I heard this was coming out, and that Laura Kinney (Wolverine) was going to be in it, I was onboard! Unfortunately, the end result was sadly lacking in both the interesting and scary!
One thing that I thought worked especially well was the bridging scenes with Victor Strange, brother to the deceased Doctor, as well as emcee for each of the anthology's tales.

The heroes of the Marvel Universe spend most of their time in the bright sun, flying high above it all...but every once in a while, they venture into the darkness that lurks in the hidden corners of the world. There lurk the creatures, the monsters, the vampires...the ones who prey on innocence and goodness. Join us, and some of your favorite heroe...
Now this is what I am talking about! Someone solid characterizations for the Spider-Verse! Betty Brant, Ned Leeds, just everyone this issue seemed perfectly in line with how they should speak/act!
Judging from the User Reviews so far, I might be in the minority, but I think Pete and Black Cat might be an interesting couple! MJ seems to be kind of a cold fish in regard to whatever happe more
THE RETURN OF THE HOBGOBLIN! The timing of this goblin's return with Peter working at Oscorp MUST be a coincidence, right? But who is donning the yellow cowl? Roderick Kingsley? Ned Leeds? Flash Thompson? If you know anything about Hobgoblin, you know that you know nothing about Hobgoblin.
Rated T
I know I will catch flack in some circles, but I wasn't as enamored with this issue as I was with previous ones! Of particular disappointment was the art, which was still a letdown when it came to the faces! Can someone, anyone please tell me why Starfox now looks like a losing contestant from 'RuPaul's Drag Race'?
* I hope to re-read the whole event when it is done, as something tells more
It looks like the end of the world. The world is taking it personally. The Machine That Is Earth is having a very bad day.
Rated T+
I know a re-read is going to happen when all is said and done, but for first time round, this like a bloody IMAX experience! Everything going down is panel-for-panel, larger-than-life! This is definitely going to be one that will be talked about long after this event is finished! And all I have left to say is: that last page!?! 😮
The clock is ticking and midnight looms. It's not too late

The Celestials said "Correct excess deviation." Now the hour of judgment is upon the Eternals. Have they done enough? And does overcompensating at this late hour make it better, or make it worse?

This event is becoming one of the best ever at marvel.
The big scale as much as the personal one is perfectly accomplished here.

Man, can poor Peter Parker get put through much more? I feel like I reading 24 MEETS MCU, only there's no Jack Bauer! I feel like Peter needs a puppy! Jus' sayin'.

Intense, well-paced! Far cheaper than going to a theme park! 😯 And two scenes took my breath away, the one involving the Celestial God (that's all I can really say w/o bein all Spoiler-y!) and that last panel when the reveal drops! I hope future events will be this good! #hopehopehope
JUDGMENT DAY BEGINS.
The heroes know what they have to do. But do they have to do it? They were smart enough to get themselves into this mess. Maybe they can be smart enough to get out of it....

*LOVE* nearly everything relating to A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY; I do not love Gerry Duggan continuing as writer on X-MEN! Don't get me wrong there was some great dialogue, like getting to see Forge out and about as part of the team. but there was some bad dialogue, like over-the-top Iceman! The best part about this issue was the art, which helped earn that 5.5 I gave it! Maybe next Hellfire Gala we canmore
THE INHERITORS OF THE EARTH?
The mutants are the next stage of evolution. Evolution depends on a mutation of genes - the genes of the offspring deviating from their progenitors. Some would call the X-gene EXCESS deviation. Those people are gonna need to be taken down a few pegs.

IDK. I stayed for all the parts to this arc, but the end just felt like it went on too long! The art was super solid, but the story felt, I guess, anticlimactic is the word I am looking for. I think it may be time for me to reconsider whether to continue with NEW MUTANTS or not! :/
AN END OF AN ERA... IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!
The time has come for Magik to conquer her demons. Will Illyana be able to contend with manifestations of her trauma and save her friends in the process? And if Madelyne does gain the throne...can the Goblin Queen contain the fiery madness of Limbo? Or will her old inclinations towards chaos resurface,...
This issue was a solid "9", as we learned the truth behind the whole Lourdes Chantel dead/not dead, allowing for Emma to gain one on, not just Shaw, but the entire Helllfire Club! The flashback sequences were handled ever so brilliantly by Klaus Janson, giving them just the right amount of nostalgia, without taking away from Matteo Lolli's art on the story in the present!

It's been beaten into the ground how friggin' AWESOME this issue was, so I will refrain from repeating that! What I will say is this was how you a powerful comic!
