R.B. Silva delivers some beautiful and action packed art throughout this issue. Every scene builds in beauty and intensity to the amazing finale. Visually stunning issue. Read Full Review

Hickman shows fans the truth about Year 100 but leaves readers wondering about HOUSE OF X, as well as many of the other Lifes of Moira MacTaggert. Is Year One or Year Ten also in Life Nine or are they in Life Ten? Maybe Year 1000 takes place in Life 11, which isnt even listed yet? As the Imagine Dragons once said, the path to heaven runs through miles of crowded hell. Readers new to Hickman need to be open to a couple of confusing issues before some big reveals. Trust that he has a plan and has done extensive research before diving into a story. Either way you slice it, Hickman is finally putting the pieces together and providing a well-needed direction for the fans reading that feel utterly confused. Again, this reviewer hopes fans can hang in there and keep a list of all their questions until the end because there is no doubt Hickman will answer them all as the story continues to unfold.

Powers Of X #3 takes Moiras mutation to the next level, using it as an unexpected plot twist at the end of the issue. It allows for Hickman to play with readers expectations in this book and the other one. Really, it makes perfect sense with her powerset, and its a surprise she hasnt done something like this before. Beyond that, this is a fun issue, fast-paced, and action-packed. The art by Silva and Gracia really make the whole work. Itll be interesting to see where Hickman takes the story from here.

The series continues to be creative, exciting, and well-paced while the intensity continues to increase from one issue to the next making the series incredibly valued and important. If youre a Hickman fan, this is right in your wheelhouse. If youre an X-Men fan, youll get some crazy-cool team-ups, never before seen moments, and out of this world action that you never thought youd ever see in an X-Men comic. This reviewer highly recommends this issue, as well as both the HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X series. If you havent bought in yet, youre late to the party. Read Full Review

POWERS OF X #3 is highly satisfying and masterfully executed. Read Full Review

Everything changes in this issue. Everything ends. Of course, knowing Hickman, hes just using this as an excuse to press our expectations even further. This is not a story that you want to miss. Read Full Review

Powers of X hits you where it hurts Read Full Review

Powers of X #3 shakes up the formula yet again, resulting in another fascinating chapter of this epic X-Men saga. Read Full Review

As much as I find myself wanting to get back to X1 and see what's going on with Krakoa and its inhabitants, Powers of X #3 is a thrilling stop along the way that more than sells its need exist first well enough that I'm happy to wait until next week. Read Full Review

This issue isn't as heady as previous issues from the outset, but still manages to recontextualize everything that's come before by the end and it's simply thrilling to read something that manages to shake proceedings up so drastically as a result of its structure. Read Full Review

An entertaining and focused issue, coupled with a neat, new twist, provides a needed jolt to Hickman's overall project. Read Full Review

Powers of X #3 is another absolute gem of a read. Jonathan Hickman is putting on a clinic and showing writers how you perform world-building and deliver a complex and detailed story with finely crafted plot-lines and deliver it in an intelligent and entertaining fashion. House of X and Powers of X continue to be the best comic books that Marvel is currently publishing. And it is not even close. I would highly recommend getting aboard Hickman's X-Men train and start reading both House of X and Powers of X. These titles offer the reader such excellent value for the money. Read Full Review

At the end of the day we were simply awaiting for when things would go south, but it was only in defeat that we could see that there was much more to this than what we were seeing on the surface. Even if at times you didn't get what was going on in the previous issues, Powers of X #3 proved to us that everything should be taken at face value when the X-Men really did come too far for this to be their only end. Read Full Review

The comic brings the vision and story together into a clearer vision. This isn't a beginning of a new direction for the X-Men as this is an event that will then lead into the next new beginning. This is a bridge much like Age of Apocalypse's individual series were to what comes next. The whole of the story is stronger than the individual parts, a theme that has weaved its way through the series. This is the point things get good. Read Full Review

As far as where Powers stands as a solo book. It simply doesnt. If you havent been following up until now, youre going to want to start from the beginning. Its a fantastic read, but it isnt a singular story as a single issue, or without House to provide context for key moments. That said, if you have been keeping up: itll be a powerful read and one that I cant wait to see the next issue of. Read Full Review

Powers of X continues Hickman and company's winning streak by echoing the past but pushing forward to the future. Weekly series usually suffer from an extreme lack of momentum from issue to issue but slight shifts in focus and the introduction of exciting new concepts have kept the books feeling fresh. This is appointment reading, straight to the top of the pile each week and it would be a mistake to miss it. Read Full Review

It's all coming together and all of the confusion is very worth it. Read Full Review

Basically put, this issue is good, but it feels far less impressive due to the high bar the previous issues have set. The art is some of the best you'll see all week in a narrative that's gripping and hard to resist. Read Full Review

While the action is the most enjoyable element of Powers of X #2, there's plenty of momentum and new details added to a miniseries that continues to redefine itself almost every week. Read Full Review

The problem with these chapters being told so quickly and succinctly is the way most of the new characters get unceremoniously killed off. Granted they could come back in one of the future books Marvel has planned after House of X and Powers of X ends, but there is still a level of disappointment in the way these arrivals and departures are being handled. Read Full Review

There are no words to describe what Hickman is doing with these series, it is not just writing, the artistic team perfectly complements the work. The relevance of all this is that the characters were again interesting for the reader. It is not only about unbridled action or entire pages of dialogs, it is appreciated that each panel has a purpose or objective. As a former X-Men fan I am very happy with this stage

This issue was perfect to me. This series is becoming stronger week by week. It blows my mind that Xorn and Rasputin have such a small role in the 3 issues and still, I'm in love with both of them. Just a perfect issue.

Damn, damn, damn. That was so fucking great. What a twist. I freaking love this serie.

Once I read the last line on the last page I screamed UNO REVERSE CARD WHAT THE FUCK and preceded to immediately reread House of X 1, Powers of X 1, House of X 2, Powers of X 2, and this issue all over again

The "+100 years" timeline resolves with some absolutely brilliant twists, locking into the other stories in a thoroughly satisfying way. This whole twin-series adventure is going to condense into a fantastically complicated ball of timey-wimey surprises, and I can't wait for more of them.

Just absolutely fantastic issue. Very much enjoyed the X² world Hickman built and what an exciting read with just a very unexpected finish. Silva and Gracia are just so good that it flows and shines throughout. No bad or unfocused panel.

While it's going to be difficult to top House of X #2 in terms of surprises, this is definitely the biigest game-changer so far. While other issues have been jumping back and forth between four timelines, this one stays a hundred years in the future throughout the issue with the remaining X-Men as they infiltrate Nimrod's base. Staying this focused gives us our most emotionally gripping (as well as heartbreaking) chapter yet, since other issues have focused more on exposition and building this world Hickman created. The biggest takeaway from this is that now I have no idea where this is headed now. All in all, you can't say you weren't surprised by the end of this issue.

If this is what we got in store for the X-Men going forward, count me in for the long haul.

I think at this point it's safe to say that Jonathan Hickman has saved the X-Men.

Ahhhh I literally cannot get enough of this series and House of X, and it's a weekly series for both. So much to like here, Hickman ramps up the action while providing an answer to one of the mysteries that started in issue 2. The art by Silva is great, and I know I've said this for every issue released so far but the colors r just fantastic, it provides such vibrancy and life to the pages, like nothing I've seen in a while. As stated earlier, the plot was advanced, but in an immensely satisfying way while also kinda subverting expectations. Idk if these issues were created in advance, but it seems like Hickman heard the complaints about too many charts and graphs and lightened up on it a lot this issue. Overall, just spectacular and every marvel fan needs to read this series more

This issue pulls you in right from the start, up until the end.
With more action than before, Amazing art and a great ending. We get an intense issue that sets up the next issue of House of X amazingly well.

Pretty cool.

THE GOOD:

-Ah, it's nice to read an X-Men comic that's actually good.

-RB Silva brought his A-game here. This was definitely his best-illustrated issue in the series yet.

-I don't know what else I can say. Everyone else has already said it. This run is fantastic.

-This issue was the most cinematic yet. I swear with every page, I could hear an epic score in the background.

-That opening scene was the perfect example of how to do an opening scene.

-"I always do." That scene was executed so well.

-The spectacle is so wonderful here. It really works so well, simply because Hickman can handle it.

-Goddamn, the action scenes were incredible. This proves that just because this is a cerebral and complex book, it can't have kickass action scenes.

-That ending was beautiful. I have nothing else to say.

THE BAD:

-I've kind of come to dislike the graphics and charts. They're fine, but I really prefer the actual story, and none of the ones in this issue were nearly as good as previous ones, which was more noticeable considering this story was a step up from the last few issues. more

The Good:
Hickman is bringing his A game with this series. Whilst I haven't been as big a fan of this as HoX, Hickman ties it all back in this issue.

Wonderful worldbuilding as should be expected from Hickman's X books.

As always the art is perfect. Not a single bad panel.

The Bad:
Whilst we get some answers we still have a lot of questions especially regarding the future of PoX after the ending of this issue. I get this is by design but I keep feeling like I'm in the dark way too often then I should be halfway in the series.

Conclusion:
Another excellent issue from Hickman that finally pays off the future storyline. I just hope all our questions get answered but in Hickman I trust. more

Cool book, unexpected “wrap up” of what was going on. Curious to see where this goes.

"Watch and i will show you change ! Watch and i will show you true evolution !

"So ended the ninth life of Moira X"

A noticeable improvement on the previous two issues, both in terms of the writing and the art. The former is due to the fact that there is actually a complete story this time (albeit one that gets told in only 20 pages - the info dump pages aren't fooling me into believing that I'm getting more story). Sadly I don't really care about the characters as they appear and then they are gone; Hickman has some way to go with writing characters in these series, as House of X is only slightly better. Silva's art takes a huge step up in quality, so that he now seems a suitable companion to Laraz on HoX.
