With Gail Simone(The Uncanny X-Men) and Murewa Ayodele(Storm) as the writers who are leading the finale, it's no surprise that the ending was one that would tug at your heartstrings. With several mutants in tears, it's very clear that Xavier meant so many different things to each and every one of them. Read Full Review

Overall, X-Manhunt Omega #1 is a must-read for fans of the X-Men. It's a thrilling and emotionally resonant finale that promises to have a significant impact on the future of mutantkind. Simone and Ayodele deliver a powerful and unforgettable conclusion to this epic storyline. Read Full Review

From a structural level, there's nothing wrong with X-Manhunt Omega #1. It's a well done issue with some cool scenes and good moments. But it's endemic of the problems with “From the Ashes”. It's predictable and it feels like it's setting everything up for the eventual return to the Mansion. This is how Brevoort's X-Men works; there are no new ideas and everyone already knows the goal. If you enjoy that goal, then you'll be very happy with this issue. If you don't, like me, than this issue is more of the stuff you don't like. Read Full Review

X-Manhunt Omega #1 is a solid but flawed finale that delivers on spectacle and major shake-ups for the X-Men universe while falling short in emotional depth and character consistency. The action is grand, the stakes are high, and the future is clearly laid out, making it a must-read for those invested in the From the Ashes era. However, rushed resolutions, uneven character portrayals, and an inconsistent tone hold it back from being truly great. If you're looking for big moments and a clear setup for what's next, this issue deliversbut don't expect a completely satisfying payoff. Read Full Review

i believe in the current X-Men line, but this not it. it seems like it was just moving out of how fast it was paced, of always someone coming or something exploding. it feels like those comics were not supposed to be like that, like they try to make this story fit into their larger stories, but It does not come as naturally, because so many of those titles are so far way from what this crossover was about. At its core, it is just a dumb chase, like it was only meant to take a lot of those characters to the same place, without the proper build-up.That could have worked if we hadn't seen something like this in a while or if it felt bigger, but most of those comics are on their 9 issue. Right now it felt random. There were good moments, moments that hit close to the core of what the line is right now, but they are so scrambled, so disconnected in such a big tornado of useless and non-exiting fights and just running from one place to the next. It's weak, but also it's expected; they should have let the different titles breathe more before a crossover like this.

As for the issue, some decisions are actually creative here. Like I can see the ideas or the moments it was built upon, I like how Charles left, liked how it was not paraded, and it did not feel big, symbolizing this new era we are entering. I really hope that Charles is out for longer, or even in general, but I am not that much of a dreamer. Like finally, the dream is officially over, and it's a bittersweet moment, it's not completely sad. Like everybody is free from now on, to build new foundations. Uncanny actually had some ground, that i believe would have worked if realized here, like the whole first arc was build on Charles being a cataclyst, even if he is not guilty per se for traumas, which is kinda close to Scott, if defended correctly. Plus the art humanized Charles.

i did not like a lot of the things that were building this moment, the conflict in general was weak and here the pacing was quite off, just being really slow in the start with no real reason behind. I did not like Cyke and Wolvie's moments(not to spoil it), it felt out of this issue and also did not carry any consequence, because they were cool after 2 pages, saved by the plot. So yeah, again a lot of ideas for cool singular moments, not a nice idea of how to mesh them together. more

Words cannot express how offensive and horrendous I find this post-Krakoan era of X-Men. The battles and events of this issue feel out of place and utterly unbelievable, if not incomprehensible. The writing here is just poor, and it makes no sense to me why Scott would just abruptly give up his pursuit of Xavier between panels, more or less negating the plot of this entire story arc. If this story is just to line up a better upcoming comic by Jonathan Hickman, that’s fine, but on its own it is a dreadful failure. This feels like a story meant to promote and empower the rest of the X-line, but with literally half the books already cancelled in the next few months, it even fails at that. Abhorrent.

Pure garbage.

Bad writing, worse art. Both Simone and Ayodele have done better on their respective books, but this one reads like a rushed job. None of it makes any sense and there seem to be important scenes and transitions missing. The art doesn’t make any of it clearer either. Actually, it’s so bad, I find it insulting to anyone who still cares about the X-Men. It seems that the X-Men line reaches a new low point each new week these days.
