Issue 3...Not Good.[/QUOTE]
Wow, X-Men underestimating their opponents and getting beaten. Such a horrrrrrrible comic book *eyeroll*
lol 8/10. This was my fave issue of X-men. I literally laughed the entire issue. The dialogue was a little stiff but i get the humor hickman was going for and my brain did the rest. this was really really fun. I feel like all of the comics are building for the longterm and quickly and it's made me a little lax and forgiving with some of the plot rushing. I think i feel i have a clearer image of what hickman is doing overall and i'm good with it.
Shaw be eating up the boys and girls. lol. I'm quickly becoming a Shaw fan between this and Marauders.
Very nice issue. I like the idea of using a few done in one to introduce treats and themes to the book for the long run instead of having a 5 issue Arakko arc and then a 5 issue hordehouse arc etc. Knowing how Hickman works from FF, Avengers and East of West all these things will intertwine and payoff in the long run. The issue itself was enjoyable. The old ladies are obviously augmented, Cyclops ray wow uso have been enough to put them down otherwise so I don’t find them unrealistic as enemies, I mean [B]Magneto is 200 years old[/B] right?

Seems like it isn't a joke
The dialog from the established X-characters was bad. The Hordeculture ladies are fun, but I just can't get into this book.
I didn't even read the issue, but by reading these comments, I can only conclude that there were two different versions of this comic released, one 10/10 quality and one 0/10 quality.
People complaining about this being one-and-dones when Hickman told us that was what is was going to be before the book even launched. LMAO

I thought we were PAST THAT!!!.
This was VERY embarrassing.......
Emma should have started throwing Mutant Diamond Hands on those Golden Girls...Old or Not your trespassing and your a Thief.
[QUOTE=Kurolegacy;4717228]For me, it’s the opposite end of the same spectrum as the Hellfire Brats but rather than a bunch of kids, we have a bunch of old ladies who look about bone broke hip away from coming at the X-Men with walkers and wheelchairs. I just can’t take them seriously as villains much less a threat. Sure Vulture may be old [B]but these villains look geriatric old.[/B]And for them to be making fools of the X-Men like that is just embarrassing. These are not villains I care to see more of.[/QUOTE]
And I can assure you, most 64 year olds don’t look as old as Augusta.

Yeah, but he didn't tell us it was gonna be this [I]awful.[/I]
[QUOTE=Havok83;4717234]because this format is very nontraditional for the X-books.[/QUOTE]
Too bad. The X-Men “tradition” has been tired for decades.
Thank God this book is twice a month. So far we've got...
1) The Children of the Vault are still around
2) The 1st Horsemen of Apocalypse are either still around or have descendants still fighting their first enemy
3) The Krakoa gates can be hacked.
People would've seeked therapy if there were 4-5 weeks between that.
[QUOTE=Havok83;4717234]because this format is very nontraditional for the X-books. I didnt read his Avengers stuff so whatever he did there is completely irrelevant to me and people should stop using that as an excuse or response to people not digging this book. People are used to and want an episodic-like structure, not a series of oneshots. It doesnt feel fitting for the flagship title. It might have been acceptable if the writing is good, but its not. Hickman's characters feel stiff and these oneshot plots have been boring. Who cares if its setup for future stuff if the material just isnt interesting[/QUOTE]
i read his avengers and his FF, and still don't see what they have to do with X-books.
I think people can critic x-books without having read his other books. I think writing the flagship of x-men is very different from avengers and FF. There is some important side bok son x-men, like x-force and marauders.
The writing has been very boring, with bad characterization

Read it, it's good.

Writing the X-Men is different because the fans are something else lol
