Dawn of X: What are the books that have surprised/dissapointed you the most?

[phoenixzero23]

It is still to early but so far what is the book you have enjoyed the most?

What is the one that has dissapointed you more?


The biggest surprise to me was Fallen Angels, I thought on skipping it but so far it has been the one I enjoyed the most. It feels dark and different and I want to know more about the new Psylocke.

On the biggest dissapoinment it would be X-men, I love most of the characters there and was very excited for it but something feels off about their voices.

Excalibur is laying down nice seeds for future plots but it doesn't flow right to me yet. Art is amazing.

Fallen Angels is indeed very good, but the art didn't appeal to me. And I don't like Kwannon as a mentor figure to Laura and Kable.

Marauders and New Mutants are kind of my favourites and I was expecting it since I love the cast, but I also really, really liked X-Force and I didn't think I would have as much as I did.

I’m enjoying all of them, some more than others, obviously, one or two issues isn’t really long enough for me to decide if I will keep buying them long term.

Excalibur is just gorgeous, I’m always a sucker for pretty books and Captain Britain.
X-Men is impressing me least, but as I said, early days.

I really want to see more of Island life.

Only minor gripe is a serious lack of Elf based action, particularly as we have a pirate themed book. I’d mind much less if we had an in series reason for his absence. Or anyone noticing.

Surprise: Fallen Angels
Disappointing : Excalibur

[powerpax]

Nothing's been an outright disappointment to me. Excalibur is inconsistent and a bit of a hodgepodge, as I suspected it would be. I never felt the team or art was right. I'm giving it time to coalesce though, as I love Betsy, [A] and the concepts.

Fallen Angels was a big surprise, but I suspected for a while now it might be.

My Favorite is Marauders, X-Men and X-Force.

To my surprised is: Fallen Angles honestly I thought it was going to be a boring book.

As for my Disappointment: I have to say Excalibur it's good, but i'm was hoping for something more.

Surprise: Fallen Angels
Disappointing : Excalibur

I agree, and even X-Men hasn't been as good as I had hoped, it's interesting but building up slowly.

[Wiccan]

Surprised: Fallen Angels. I read it yesterday so I didn't comment on the thread when it was released, but the first issue was just amazing. The way Hill instantly made Kwannon an interesting compelling character we can root for is incredible. I like the dark moody art. The way the flashbacks were used was perfect. Maybe the best pacing of all issues so far. And I didn't have a problem with how Laura and Cable were written overall.

Disappointed: X-Men. I guess maybe it's a bit too soon to judge the whole book, as it has "standalone" issues and it's gonna explore a lot of things, but so far the two issues released were just... Meh.

I am definitely surprised that my favorite DOX book is New Mutants. I love everything about it. It's hitting all the right notes in my head and in my body. YUM.

Biggest disappointment is Excalibur. I love all the characters in it and the whole "culture building" theme teased in the interviews got me very excited, but yeah. I'm not feeling it.

[Steroid]

My biggest surprise has definitely been X-Force. I have gone from not even being interested in it to it being my favorite title of the launch.

Marauders has been my biggest disappointment. I'm a sucker for Bishop, Storm and Pyro but honestly with the hype I was just expecting a lot more out of this. For me it's too fun.

Biggest surprise has been Fallen Angels which I didnt want to hate because Im a contrarian but I ended up genuinely enjoying because Hill and Kuder are a dynamite team.
