James Cesena Comic Reviews

A good issue, but this early on I wish there was a bit more characterization from the star of the series.

Iceman hits a high point (and hopefully continues the trajectory) this issue.

Iceman is shaping up quite nicely as a very engaging and entertaining read. Keep up the excellent work!

I've gotten spoiled with Kevin Wada's covers and he is missed this issue. however, I'm familiar with this issue's cover artist Marco D'Alfonso's work and would have loved it if he had full art duties this issue.

Iceman #6, CHAMPIONS REUNITED: PART 1 is a humorous and touching read that leaves you wanting more in the best way.

This Iceman series has shaped up quite nicely to be a wonderful character piece on a hero we knew was so much more. A must-have for X-Men fans old and new.

One of my favorite issues in the run so far, the team of Grace and Gill havesome great work here!

Just before this issue hit the shelves, it was announced that issue #11 would be the series' last. I have no doubts that Sina Grace and the creative team have something very special in store for the final chapters, on what will remain Marvel's best Iceman series ever.

A rushed attempt to have witty dialogue and a wrap-up to a character's story only creates a frustrating couple of issues leading to the inevitable finale. I only hope it gets cleaned up properly before riding off into the sunset"

A very strong start for the new creative team, who manages to maintain the tone of the series, while stepping into an intriguing new direction. Could we be witnessing the beginning of a new classic run? If they keep this up, most definitely.

I'm enjoying this arc so much, it's like watching a really great film. Pick up this issue! And if you haven't, pick up Part 1 in Old Man Logan #25!

An issue that felt more like a stepping stone to the finale, yet doesn't dull my excitement for the arc overall.

As we gear up for the finale of Days of Anger, I continue to be truly entertained and impressed by the creative team. A virtually flawless book!

I recommend picking up issues #25-#28 if you haven't already. This arc has been truly enjoyable and exciting. I can't wait for the finale!

Days of Anger has been an epic and truly entertaining adventure Logan fans old and new will enjoy.

"Scarlet Samurai" begins a new story arc featuring Logan in Japan. This is a great jumping-on point for new readers! If you aren't already picking up this fantastic book, I highly recommend it!

An edge of your seat, heartbreaking tale that is destined to be a classic! I can't wait for the next chapter!

WIth Mariko alive and seemingly free of the Hand's control, what now? This issue leaves a lot of questions to be answered. As always with this creative team, the synergy is on-point, and I'm still "on the edge of my seat", anxiously awaiting the next issue!

Setting Logan up for a battle royal with Wilson Fisk and Bullseye has all the makings of an epic throwdown! What's on that flash drive???

A very solid, single, issue that has me wanting more! I hope people pick up this well-crafted book!

A very strong start to a series I didn't know I would look forward to this much! Bravo!

Long-time readers, collectors, and completest will want this issue, but it's disappointing the interior art fails the way it does here. Although the writing is improving, I wouldn't be surprised if casual readers passed on it, which is frustrating.

The engine is finally running! This is the kind of issue first-time readers will one day look back fondly on. This is the kind of issue long-time readers will rejoice with. The strongest issue of X-Men Blue to date.

After last issue's success, X-Men Blue #8 offers a fantastic second installment to this adventure!

A satisfying end to this story arc, with high hopes for the future, X-Men Blue #9 is a must-have for old and new fans alike.

A great jumping on point and an even better treat for readers who have been around since the beginning, X-Men Blue is really an interesting and satisfying read that is growing to be a leading X-Men team book.

A slight speedbump in an otherwise good story arc so far, Toil and Trouble Part 2 only partially delivers. I hope the following chapter makes up for it.

A slightly damp firecracker of an ending, but with seeds for other stories planted, X-Men Blue needs to "fuel up" if it's going to maintain the momentum.

A fun, nostalgic, yet current story that sets the book back on track after last issues' underwhelming finale.

This cross-over has been a fun read, that manages to appeal to new and old readers of the X-Mythos. The bi-weekly schedule works well for a cross-over like this , but, I wouldn't mind the title going monthly for the sake of further fleshing out subplots and characterization.

An unpredictable ending, strong characterization, and consistently good art highlight the Finale of this 6 part "popcorn" comic. It's tasty and it makes you want more.

We finally see the book dealing with the time paradox problem. It's been years now, and it's long overdue. Will X-Men Blue deliver?

I'm enjoying Cross Time Capers, more than Mojo Worldwide. I'm looking forward to the next issue with high anticipation.

My favorite chapter of this arc so far, X-Men Blue is really moving along quite nicely and finally revealing some secrets!

Ultimately, I enjoyed this issue, but I feel like it could have been condensed and added to last issue. All in all, a few more steps forward in Cross Time Capers!

As I stated before, I didn't miss the O5 this issue, and I somehow feel as if a weight has been lifted. If it has, it was done magnetically! Magneto, Polaris and the supporting cast taking the spotlight, several running plotlines coming into play, and the fleshing out of characters in both words and art, really set this issue on fire!

It is a Herculean effort to condense almost 55 years of material into a limited series but Ed Piskor greatly succeeds in doing so. He also manages to inject an easy to follow and fresh take on the X-Men's often convoluted, overly complicated at times, history. This is a well thought out, product. It's the perfect introduction to the superhero soap opera we continue to be obsessed with called the X-Men.
