It's OK/fun for what it is. As a single issue anywhere else within an X line would have been fine but as part of the Fall of X it really doesn't work. Duggan is trying I believe but it just a bit too late. Cassara on art is FANTASTIC as always and I command his effort and Fajardo Jr. colors him wonderfully!
THE END IS NIGH!
The Krakoan Age is nearly at an end...and what might be the final battle of the heroes of Krakoa! One last stop before the fall and rise come to their conclusion...and everything changes!

THE BLOODIEST MARVEL EVENT EVER!
The skies have gone dark, the sun hiding its face from the carnage to come. The children of the night, the vampires, have risen from the dark and hidden places of the world as one to drown the Marvel Universe in blood. Earth's final night has fallen - can even the heroes of this doomed world stem the tide of bl...
Why are Powers of X and X-Men Forever separated narrative wise into 2 books I will never know. Powers only makes sense in the last issue if you read this otherwise Xavier's choices are irrational (beyond the usual). Only positive is that it came out same week so my assumptions were validated right away. Weird setup is all. Fall of X is crashing hard but the art from Maresca is good and not the promore
IMMORTAL MEANS FOREVER!
The fight for Krakoa's future begins here! Since RISE OF THE POWERS OF X began, there have been a few mysteries unrevealed! Now writer Kieron Gillen fills in the gap of what happened between the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN and the beginning of the end of the Krakoan Age!

Amazing stuff here. This is just the issue USM needed, more slower one that focuses on characters and their relationships. I loved every page and I was hooked on the dialogue.
And Messina as a guest artist works really well here. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him once in a while.
The only problem I have is the cover. It's a bit misleading, and since I desperately wanna see B more
WHO IS THE GREEN GOBLIN?
Peter Parker's secret life starts fraying the edges of his personal life! J. Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker's pursuit of truth - or, at least, the news - stirs unrest with the world at large... And now that Spider-Man may not have to operate alone, the real work of rebuilding this corrupt world can begin!
Rated T
I'm enjoying Hickman's work here. I just love the way he unfolds the story. Plenty to absorb with a lot of words around a dinner date but without the chapters that Bendis would drop on you (I like it in limited fashion). I just enjoy this kind of of build up when it's done right and Hickman so far hasn't disappointed. The art was good but the printing didn't help it at all. Still come back Checchemore

The wheels are coming off and I believe the abrupt way this story is going to hit a wall will hurt. First issue where I see Gillen trying to outpace the inevitable end and he overdoes it but I'll hold for the last issue to truly judge this. It is really confusing for Xavier to one up himself and the Enigma and AI and everyone else which makes the story such a shore to follow. RB Silva is as very gmore
WHO IS TRAITOR X?
In the aftermath of the greatest betrayal in X-Men history, the Quiet Council in exile must act. They have a plan. Can anyone, or anything, survive the experience? As the Krakoan Age barrels toward its conclusion, the two series that are one converge on an act that will live in infamy!
Rated T+
I really like the idea of the story. It's very intriguing on what they are trying to pull off. It's just done in a way that hinders the effectiveness. I can't quite explain it. It comes off as confusing in some parts when it really shouldn't be.

Great pacing and kept my interest throughout even though I wish I can get 12 issues of this but I understand why it is this way. This can easily be an MCU film 10 years from now. Acuna's art continues to be the star for me.

MY ALLY, MY ENEMY!
They say a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind of animal to face. As the fight between the mutants and Orchis reaches a deadly pitch, a startling revelation rocks the X-Men to their core. The two series that are one come together in one horrible betrayal as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!

It was one of the better Fall of the House of X issues. It's still not perfect, but I atleast felt the urgency in this issue. Even if for a few moments.

I'm all about Ewing's Venom because his issues always hit different but this whole Carnage stuff just lost me especially with an art partner that delivered some poor pages. Let's hope it was a deadline that rushed his work.
"FLESH AND BLOOD" PART 3! BACK TO THE FUTURE! In the greatest depths of space and at the end of existence, within the flowering fauna of the symbiotic GARDEN OF TIME, some carnivorous new species has blossomed. Something bloodred, with thorns...and an appetite!

It's decent. It has some cool parts, but overall seems lacking a little in terms of the punch it delivers.

Great work! I enjoyed this mini much better. Ewing just knows how to make those words land. Vecchio was fantastic on this whole thing and Curiel is a pro.
RETURN OF THE KING!
The Master of Magnetism has returned to the world...but it is not the world he left. Nor is Magneto the same man who left it. Has death changed him for the better, or for the worse? And when he sees what ORCHIS has done to mutantkind...will it change him again?
Rated T+
Reads like an outline of a story no one asked to hear, with cool action moments taped on. The characters don't really feel like they have agendas; they're just being dragged along by the plot.

Rated T+
To me this felt very rushed and by-the-numbers. It feels like Duggan is just phoning it in now with how he's closing off his plot points. Also, the X-Men now seem very bloodthirsty. I know they decided that extreme measures were necessary (which I think is out of character), but they just went from "No Killing" to "Kill everything you see even if you don't have to". They don't even show any remormore

Things happen and are summarized by Duggan. Joshua Cassara is the guy that makes this book worth reading and enjoying. The art is worth it and props to Fajardo on colors but the story has gotten stale a while ago. Just get me to the end so I don't have to read another X book for another decade unless Gillen/Ewing/Hickman come back.

Great brick laying work by Hickman and a very enjoyable issue from all angles. Except the final reveal which I'm all for if we get a different wrinkle on that old rivalry. Peter Parker as an older guy trying to learn to be Spider-Man was never on my list of books and from Hickman of all people but here we are. Checchetto with an absolute perfect outing on art. This must have taken a lot of time tomore

I'm giving this a "low" score not because it is flawed in some way compared to the other two but this is mostly a setup issue. Very fun, very cool but light on heavy and important dialogue and light on meaningful action. It was still amazing and leaves us and Peter in a really interesting position that I am very much looking forward to in the upcoming issues. Also, big fan of the "call-back" suitsmore

I may be overrating this a little bit, but this was another issue that I really enjoyed. It's the weakest one of the series thus far for me, but that's saying a lot when I'm giving it a 9/10. Everything here is just so simple and great at the same time. Hickman does a really good job of writing Peter as extremely likable when he's in the suit and out of it. I also found the ending of this to be vemore
