Oct 25, 2023The pacing is a bit on the slow side, but Foxe is still nailing that horror-tinged narration, and there's enough weird going on here to want to keep reading. Read Full Review

Quite enjoying this. Still not understanding the low ratings. The characters are really compelling (I particularly enjoyed the brief focus on Emplate at the beginning. That simple, one-page backstory immediately gave me context and depth on his character and made me care more about him in this story. If Foxe keeps doing that for other characters it'll really help flesh out this group and make it a much more enjoyable read.

I've really been enjoying this series and this issue is another really good chapter

The plot continues to race along, and I'm quite satisfied with the developments. The visuals are impressive, too--not always detailed, but often very striking. The characterization is subtle. I like the way character traits and developments are mostly inferred through action rather than through bald-faced exposition. It gives the plot-driven story just the extra depth it needs.

From what I've read thus far, it feels like a good chunk of the miniseries from Fall of X have a lot of potential that's not fully capitalized on. This was solid and not bad by any means, but I just wish I was getting more from a book featuring Madelyne Pryor, Havok, Gambit, and Archangel. I even like the relatively new character, Feint. I just wish everything here came together nicer.

These Fall of X minis are so haphazard.

After an encouraging first issue that was by no means perfect, these last two issues of Steve Foxe's Dark X-Men haven't lived up to the promise of the debut, nor the excitement I had when the series was first announced. Foxe appears to be succumbing to too many storylines and too many characters to handle within a five-issue limited series that leaves readers with much meat on the bone to enjoy unless you're a hardcore fan of certain niche characters, in which case you're ecstatic to see them getting some page-time. It's a shame that Madelyne is getting the short-end of the stick yet again, though she's not the only one getting a disservice in the various "Fall of X" limited series.
