Amazing X-Men #1 is a gripping continuation of Age of Revelation, balancing character-driven tension with blockbuster spectacle. With Asrar's dazzling art and MacKay's ability to keep readers hooked through twists and relentless stakes, this is an essential chapter in Marvel's boldest X-Men era yet. The story keeps readers guessing by having characters hold back key truths, adding to the suspense even if it occasionally feels like a narrative trick. Read Full Review

Amazing X-Men #1 is an X-Men story that throws the cast into a meat-grinder and dares them to fight their way out. The script swerves from sharp to savage, the art kicks grit in your eyes, and not a single mutant is safe. The setting is fresh and the stakes are nuclear. Just try not to get Babeld before issue two drops. Read Full Review
I wanted to skip this event, since I'm not interested in anything based on or inspired by the original Age of Apocalypse, which ruined the X-books for me for most of the 90s. However, the premise of "our" Cyclops and Beast entering this future age to prevent it, is mildly intriguing.
Leafing through the AoR books out this week, this one is pretty much the only one with decent art, so I thought I'd give it a try. Mahmud Asrar is excellent indeed. I wasn't an initial fan, but he grew on me in Bug Wars. This issue, to my surprise, looks even better.
Now that doesn't mean Amazing X-Men is a great comic. Jed McKay's wooden dialogue and clumsy exposition are pretty horrible, even though the story itself isn't that bad. So how can I ra more
didnt like it at all !
