One of the most disappointing comic book series I have ever read in my life. The story simply goes nowhere. The Orphans of X have been a massive disappointment. The art is mediocre to terrible. Tom Taylor constantly proves he has absolutely no idea of the supporting characters he uses. His writing for Daken is still completely atrocious, and now he obviously thinks Logan, Sabretooth and Deathstrike are so incapable that would be captured by these random amateurs as well. As a fan of those characters, I find this insulting, and I deny to continue reading. This is my last review in the series, as I'm droping it for good.

As almost all of us had already predicted ever since the beggining of this. Nothing new or surprising here. No emotional impact, everything happening far too fast. Also, the Cap Marvel addition feels forced.

I can't possibly pretend this is intriguing. It's way too obvious where this whole thing is heading. I'm calling this "running out of ideas". And by the way, if you're a writer and you don't know or don't like a character... don't use them at all. That's not a proper Daken. Give him his arm back, to start with. Soule did it, literally everyone hated it, and now Taylor's doing it again? To those people that liked it, could you say what exactly it is you liked about it? The writing is bad, Laura has no depth at this point, and the plot is predictable.

Look, this issue is not 1, but a 10?? Come on people. It wasn't even remotely good. Actually, the only good thing is that finally Gabby is left behind (or so I hope!). It's been terrible that everything was about her and we couldn't focus on Laura. Otherwise, there is nothing too great about it... Tom Taylor's ignorance of Laura's past is quite obvious. I didn't like the cliffhanger at all. It feels forced and uneeded to me. I mean, why do we have to deal with her past -again? We've seen this a thousand times before. Why not find her something new to do? Perhaps create a new arc nemesis for her, completely irrelevant with her past, for example. And as other people said, I don't like how they've been writing Daken either. He seems so incompedent, going down that easily by such a random group. They've turned him good out of nowhere, completely out of character for him, and they didn't get the looks either: he looks like a troubled teenager here. I hate it when they do that. And in general, don't find the artwork to be that good either. It was a very disappointing issue for me. I expected this storyline ever since it was announced.

How did Fantomex and Mystique get that close, I'll never understand. He truly hated her. As for Gambit and Rogue... if you guys don't understand their relationship, better stop trying.

A pure ten, with all my heart. This one must be one of my favourite comic book issues of all time.

Tom King is a masterful comic book writer. I haven't had enjoyed a comic book series like that in a long, long time. Also, I have to note about the amazing artwork! It's great in almost every single way!

Meh. Typical Bendis. I liked Deadpool though. The weakest issue so far.

Almost all good, but can we stop focusing on his relationship/interaction with Cable? I loved them together once, but now it's becoming tiresome. I'll wait and see where they're taking it thoush.

I loved Fables with all my heart!!!

In general, I hate most of Soule's works, but I purely loved this one. I love Sam, and I've always thought he's so much better as Flacon than. Much more himself. I also like the art very much.

I absolutely ADORE this series!!! One of the few times I've ever read such a cool, strong female lead, that doesn't turn into a feminazi eventually!

Aaaaaand the year has passed! Can we have Lazarus back, pleeeeeease?? *puppy eyes mode on*

Look... yes, it feels lika kind of odd... like they missed their direction or something... but still, I love Diana, and nothing is over, right? I'll be waiting and hoping for the next one to be better.

I still don't like the story, but the characters are cool and the art is amazing.

... is that a Nazi alien? Lol. I'm going to give 2, just because I laughed so hard at this. As long as Fox has the movie rights, Marvel's simply going to butcher every single X-Men comic book, aren't they.
