Oct 08, 2025The way Age of Revelation has altered characters, relationships and landmarks is something reader will be able to appreciate. Alliances have changed; landmarks have been defaced or destroyed. Read Full Review

Oct 22, 2025Overall, Amazing X-Men #1 is a great comic book thats leading to something significant in the making. Readers do not want to miss out on the events transpiring in the future, as it correlates with the current running X-Men series. You can pick this comic book up at your local comic book store or online, where comic books are sold. Read Full Review

Oct 22, 2025As a mystery surrounds their abduction, Scott Summers and Hank McCoy must accept their situation and do their captors bidding if they wish to return to where they belong. Yet Scott and Hank's abduction is nothing compared with Wolverine, who represents the ultimate captive. Sadly, while Revelation once cherished life, now he treats people like lifeless machines in Amazing X-Men #1. Read Full Review

Oct 08, 2025Amazing 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

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Oct 08, 2025Amazing X-Men Issue 1 ventures further into a disturbing world. Every book in Age of Revelations has a dark, grieving tone. It's not necessarily just from what we see, either. It's what we haven't seen. Read Full Review

Oct 14, 2025Amazing X-Men is a strong start in terms of atmosphere, visuals, and tension. It may not break new ground in concept, but its execution is good, and theres enough promise to make future issues interesting. If you like dystopian takes, large-scale mutant stories, and character conflict under pressure, youll probably find a lot to enjoy. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Oct 09, 2025Amazing 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

This event is already proving to be plenty unique from anything that's come before. Any comparison to AoA or anything else is surface level at best. The characters each have strong voices and distinct personalities, the plot is interesting and developing nicely, and the angle of having mainstream Cyclops and Beast transposed into this different world is an inspired choice. We've had Bishop and Kitty traveling to other realities to help, but I think this is the first time it's a duo and it makes sense for it to be Cyclops (the leader) and Beast (the brains) that are needed to help. The writing is impeccable and the art is solid. I'm enjoying everything about this event so far.

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 rate this? more
