Exceptional X-Men #6

Eve and Carmen continues to deliver what is easily the best Mutant title of the From The Ashes era for the X-Men. Giving us some enjoyable, and sympathetic newer characters, like the new kids, as well as giving us a realistic take on the season X-Men Kitty and Emma. Their relationship is depicted very realistic, considering the incredibly tumultuous history together. The book is a testament to Ewings ability to tap into who these characters, and make them as well rounded as they can be. I cant wait to see what comes next. Read Full Review

I think what stands out to me the most is the excellent cover art by Carmen Carnero and Nolan Woodard. It perfectly shows the depth of Axo's emotions and how alone he truly feelings, even though he's surrounded by fellow mutants. Read Full Review

One of the better issues in the series so far, mostly because the ideological preaching is pretty much absent. The art is great as usual.
