The X-Men and Venom finally catch up with Killer Thrill and her band of mercenaries. Unfortunately, someone else is tailing this band. Is it a good read?

We'll obsessively buy and read all of these X-Men comics until the day we die, no matter how bad they get! And if we're going to do that anyway, we might as well document the experience for you, our dear readers, brothers and sisters and non-binary siblings in suffering. This week there are five regular-priced X-Books on[...]

Unfortunately, it's mostly Cyclops being an aggressive dick, the team pointing out that Beast's symbiote form resembles a demon, and Venom constantly pointing out how douchey it was that the X-Men forced him into this mission. Also overlooked is that this isn't an issue of X-Men Blue It's an issue of Venom What changes, confrontations, and[...]

Eddie finds out where their supplier is, and he leads the X-Men to find him. X-Men Blue #21 cover by Arthur Adams and Federico Blee The pacing to this issue of X-Men Blue is actually pretty solid It opens up with a decent action sequence followed by tense scenes of the X-Men trying to keep Cyclops together[...]

Suddenly, a group of symbiotes attack the pirate crew, and Cyclops gathers the X-Men save his father and his crew. Given that they are symbiotes, the X-Men think it best to find an "expert," and this leads them to Venom, who isn't too keen on helping. X-Men Blue Annual #1 cover by Nick Bradshaw and Federico Blee While[...]

Today's X-Men Blue #18 from Marvel Comics by Cullen Bunn, R B Silva, Adriano Di Benedetto, Rain Beredo, and Joe Caramagna has what may be the singularly best line in all of today's comics for me I read it, and I about laughed out loud. X-Men Blue #18 cover by Arthur Adams and Federico Blee And not[...]

X-Men: Blue meets the X-Men of 2099 in this trip to the future. Unfortunately, 2099 is ruled by Alchemax, and it may be their fault. Is it a good read?

The X-Men are recovering from Mojo's attack when Magneto and others begin disappearing. Time is getting weird on them. Is it a good read?

With the conclusion to Mojo Worldwide, the X-Men are doing everything they can to shut down Mojo's operation on Earth. Is it a good finale?

The teams of X-Men: Blue and X-Men: Gold continue to square off with the machinations of Mojo. Can they survive, and will it make for a good watch?

Mojo has returned to take on the X-Men, and he is recreating some of the their greatest threats to challenge the team. Is this a new classic for the X-Men?

X-Men: Blue and X-Men: Gold are at the mercy of Mojo and his maniacal schemes. Can the two teams overcome him and make for a compelling read?

This issue of X-Men: Blue brings Goblin Queen's plan to its climax while Wolverine Jr. and Angel fight the Blob. Does this make for a good read though?

Jean Grey #7 is a bit disappointing. The narrative is confused, the art isn’t particularly great, and old Jean Grey is borderline unbearable.

I'm actually okay with this design being Beast's new look, even if it is a bit depressing that every attempt of Hank McCoy to make things better only results in him physically mutating in ways he did not intend. Color artist Guru-eFX does some good work on this book too, giving a lot of atmosphere to[...]

For X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue, this is going to be a double-down on the nostalgia stakes, after already bringing the classic feel with returning titles, or names harking back to classic formations, and returning to a focus on the kind of storytelling that had been missing from the X-titles for a while. Well, for Marvel[...]

The X-Men have a lot of interpersonal conflicts to get through this issue, and Beast is tampering with some powerful forces. Does it make for good reading?

In the preview for X-Men Gold #8, Nightcrawler has an unexpected comeback. What does this mean for the character going forward?

If you like Secret Empire, you’ll enjoy this. If you like X-Men: Blue, it at least makes its own protagonists look heroic. Otherwise, give this one a pass.

It's unknown if TBA will remain on the book past the crossover, which is only scheduled now to run between the X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold books Fear not, though; there's still time to announce an Alpha and Omega issue for $5.99 each We would be remiss in not mentioning that Bleeding Cool first told[...]

When X-Men Blue #7 hits stores next week, X-Men fans will be treated to the return of both Emma Frost and Polaris to the X-books Writer Cullen Bunn appeared in an interview on Marvel.com to talk about the issue, revealing where Emma has been since the events of Inhumans vs X-Men (aside from the appearance in[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Jimmy Hudson, the Wolverine of the Ultimates Universe, has joined up with X-Men Blue The team has retired to Madripoor, but Jean Grey has found herself unbearably bored while waiting around in their headquarters while the city is celebrating a holiday. After finding Cyclops training with Magneto, Jean goes out for a night on the[...]

If Xavier is the resurrection in question, maybe he brings some teen mutants together to be the new X-Men of tomorrow. After all, so far at the moment as far as young X-Men go, we have a group that actually consists of teenage time displaced versions of the original X-Men (X-Men Blue) and a group of[...]

Yesterday, Marvel Comics promised us an announcement about their upcoming Legacy initiative that would change the comic book industry, with Legacy

I want to see this creator work with the character more given his masterful storytelling with the character in the past. The plot to X-Men Blue #4 is pretty straightforward The X-Men have caught wind of a mutant in northern Colorado They investigate to find a grisly killing of what turns out to be a former Wendigo,[...]
