One of the Best Venom runs.

Best event first issue since Messiah Complex!

Love that the writer gets to play with every character in the cast!

Another stellar issue.

The way Dugan literally did nothing with Storm, Bishop and Iceman for 17 issues is upsetting. Thank God Storm is free. Emma Frost and Kate Pryde are the most dull and obnoxious duo right now.

The art was abysmal.

Can please Percy come up with new antagonists? They've been stuck with these plant creatures for months now.

This book should've been revamped like the others.

I felt like I've read an entire wikipedia entry on House of X/Powers of X/Dawn of X and the only new content was the last page.

No words for this one. While Marauders has been an average book so far, this issue drops the ball magnificently. That Emma panel was terribly handled. I'm sure Gerry Duggan had the best intentions; however, it comes off very cringey and tone-deaf. In the hands of a straight, white author, what is supposed to be sexual empowerment can often be interpreted as objectification. The cast as usual is underused. Not even with Kitty out of the picture, there's hope for meaningful panel time for Storm or Bishop (literally the only two PoC characters). Iceman serves no purpose other than being the token gay character who only shares actual dialogue with the other gay character. And of course, Pyro's only purpose is being the comic relief. To rub salt in the wound, the villains in this book are utterly uninteresting and dull. Nameless humans with big guns? Boring.

Leah Willians is just not good. She writes every single character as if they were 15-year-old twitter/tumblr users full on snark and banter all the time. It's exhausting. It's like she writes for the sole purpose of fishing for reactions of a small but vocal twitter fanbase.

This was terrible. Hickman's humor doesn't work at all. The jokes are cheap and slut-shaming should not be a thing in 2019.

Stagnant and bland. The same tired story about whether Britain should accept their new Captain Britain dragging on for four years. A cheap #1 to boost sales when this is actually Excalibur #27.

Repetitive and nonconsequential. Feels like I've been reading the same story reworked over and ove again.

What a disappointment. Awful misogynistic undertones in the writing for the female characters and a unfortunate regression for X-23 after all the good work done with her for the past few years. This will definitely be the first DoX to get cancelled. Simply ugly.
