Weak end to Hickman ternure on X-men books

pepe Larraz art is great here, but it is wasted on bad plots. Cyclops being Captain Krakoa was very obvious, I'm not even sure how this work in universe like " Cylops died and then thi new guy show up from nowhere covering his face". Sunfire says that FeiLong can't stay on Phobos, but why? If mutants can claim Mars, he can be on Phobos

I'm very critical of the hype Al Ewing receives, but this issue was so good. Great plot twist and very consistent with the early issue.

Really nice fanfic

Dissapointing ending that isn't even a ending

Cates wrote this to showcase Ottley art. The story is very decompressed, feel like we are on the second part of the pilot of a tv show. But it is really fun and there is a easter egg about Authority. The end really picked my interest. If you are a specuato, you may want to get this issue

Very dissapointing. Logan knew a woman for few hours and already had a deep connection with her

Trash Over the top characterizations, it was so funny when Wiccan exploded at Wanda saying he defended her his whiole life. It's incoherent stories and charcterizations. Wanda doesn't remember doing bad things because she was ressurrected with only younger memories. Wanda already accepted responsability for her actions and move on. This mini isn't adding anything interesting to Wanda. Also Magneto is so bad on this mini

Seems like Cates are taking ideas of "inside out" pixar movie, it is hilarious for sure. Not everything has to be so serious

Art is mostly awful. Story is very meh and decompressed

Just meh all around. So Logan has been a surfer all this time and he asks Forge to do a adamantium surfer board for reasons Quentin and Phoebe bore me even their break up.

More of a set up issue with slow pace, But it is very engaging

Meh Some bad ploting here, really boring. So all this time non telepaths could use cerebro. mystique is a awesome player, we have to believe on that even if her play with other council members was mostly awful. Emma feel bad when they manipulate her, but have no problems to manipulate others

FILLER At least the members of the team did something, but is too late to fix this

Only liked the She-hulk story, Rest was from ok to meh

Ok. Enough to make me want to read next issue

End the run with a giant bullet, meh

Dumb fight starts so pages can be spend on the fight fight ends an then locals offer a meal to x-men. This same thing happened on the last issue. Synch gave the villain his body and Cyclops seemed ok because x-men very win. This is very meta, of course x-men have to win or x-men comics will have to end at some point if they keep losing at the end. Art is so great, very knect. The scene on the pir with the rain is so beatiful, the way larraz draw and Gracia colors is unique. Writing needs to improve on next issues

X-men writers can't see a White Straight male that is a complete asshole so that they can redeem him. Cortez redemption story is very comedic, no way there is a redemption for a little racist sh*t like him. he created the racist term flatscan. Worse part is that they used a black charater that Cortez killed her parents to redeem him. Seriously this is awful

Hard to believe marvel published a comic as bad as this one

Writing is like a fanfic, characters talk like they are action figures controlled by kids. Art is not consistent, some pages are awful

Tis series is a mess all over the place. Last issue did very little for the series

The art is amazing. The writing could be better if Ewing did a more straight up story. Seriously he is good, but indulge himself too much. This will be a hard reading for mos readers. No surprise Incredible hulk is his big comercial success My grade is mostly for the art, but if second issue is like this the grade will be lower

The pace is slow and needs more meat on the issues.

Book is fun, but the characters are generic and humor is also generic AF. It reads like a kids comic

Plot really slow and barely progresses. Lack of storm and Iceman mourning Kitty

Very dissapointing first issue, I expected more from zdarsky

Dumb fights for the sak eof moving the plots.
