X-Men #18 juggles three storylines with varying levels of impact Cyclops and Magneto's arcs deliver the strongest beats. While some scenes lack punch and feel like setup for what's next, there's enough character development and forward motion to keep readers invested as the arc wraps up. A visually solid, if slightly uneven, issue. Read Full Review
This wasn't a bad issue. The art is not great, but anything's better than Stegman and Diaz's crude figures. I hate that they wasted so many large panels on trivial discussions, but the intrigue itself is quite good. Actually, this is the first time I find this book remotely interesting.
