You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Dec 18, 2019Fallen Angels #4 gives a lot of answers and sets things to come up nicely. Hill is doing a great job of fleshing out Kwannon, and his presentation of a rogue AI that thinks it's God fits with the overall themes of Hickman's Dawn Of X, while also subverting them just enough. Kudranski and D'Armata work together to give the whole thing an eerie atmosphere that makes things work so much better. There's a lot to love in this book. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Nicholas Osborn
Dec 18, 2019With even the grandest of intentions, Fallen Angels #4 struggles to overcome particularly weak visuals as it expands on the origins and motivations of Apoth and what that means for the future of Psylocke. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Dispatchdcu
Dec 18, 2019Readers, this issue is unequivocally better than the last. However, with the utterly confusing plot that appears to be jumping from issue to issue, as well as the poor portrayal and indiscernible character voices between the two female leads, this story continues to leave this reviewer at a loss each and every issue. If youre searching for an X-Book, this isnt the one to dive into or get your feet wet. Read Full Review

Dec 19, 2019I still hold out some hope that Fallen Angels will wrap up on aconclusion that elevates the rest of the series from its admittedly lowbar. The characters here still have a lot of value and while therehasn't been a ton done with them, these feel like experiences thatanother writer can carry into more interesting stories. But this issuedoesn't do much for what's already been a very lackluster series as a whole. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Dec 18, 2019This is, unfortunately, an incredibly confusing series. It's clouded in so much shadow and vagueries you'll find yourself frustrated as you sift through its overly self profound approach. I'm certain there's an interesting idea in there, but it's being rendered in such a way that we're seeing it through cloudy goggles with no clarity in sight. Read Full Review

I've noticed that in all these issues Kwannon/Psylocke uses physical touch to channel her telepathy. If Brian Hill (and the Jonathan Hickman editorial team) are consciously establishing Psylocke as a "tactile telepath" it would be a huge character improvement. Needing to be within striking distance of her target to use her telepathy makes more sense for a martial artist assassin whose trademarked kill move is her "psychic blade." (I loved Betsy/Psylocke, but it didn't make sense that she would risk defeat by rushing into physical conflict when she could telepathically affect her opponents from a distance). Still more questions than answers, but (as a fan of the art and characters) a good issue none-the-less. I am getting anxious about th more

I liked learning more about Apoth and it's weird obsession with Kwannon. As per usual with Fallen Angels, Kwannon and Laura have pretty good team chemistry while I'm still not sure what Cable's doing in this series.

This was certainly better than issue three, but still not very good. At least now the plot seems less jumbled, the motivations are clear, and there's a straight line to follow.

I mean the writing was more compelling than previous issues, but this art is NOT for me...

Prelude: Fallen Angels has been my least favourite Dawn of X story. Let's see how this issue goes. The Good: I do like the theme behind this issue and series. The Bad: Art is still poor. Characterisation is still off. Apoth isn't working for me. Infographics are boring. Bit of a chore to read. Conclusion: A bit of a nothing issue despite so much moving forward. I do like the theme but pretty much everything else here falls short.

We had a few issues where nothing happens, then once the stuff starts to move forward, it's even worse. If this wasn't (seemingly) ending in a couple issues I would probably drop it right now.

These series screams dollar bin!! Much like the mental state of our heros of the title this issue is filled with nothing but confusion and lost causes. I now have no idea if X23 or Psylock is talking half the time. Characters are shadowed so darkly its often hard to point out who is who or what is even happening, and then to toss in dialogue that is beginning to sound indistinguishable. Its just bad and takes the reader out of the story far too often...Story had so much potential at first but all is lost now. Apoth killing children is the only thing with weight at this point and its a cheap trick. The invisible antagonist of this series is probably its strongest talking point other than the unpalatable artwork. The artist is destroying Hill more

Art is still bad. Plot is... I mean, it's certainly happening, Apoth bless.

Now this series stands revealed as what it is: Poor portrayals (in words and art) of three mutants that deserve far better, shoehorned around the edges of a clichéd "rampant AI" cyberpunk story. It's all been done before, even the Oedipal connection. Apoth's plan to cyber-evolve humanity is familiar from -- among many other stories -- past Hickman comics, including Powers of X. The difference is, Mr. Hickman can tell these stories with compelling wonder and without (much) character assassination.

THE GOOD: -The writing was better here. It's still uber-pretentious, but it's not as insufferable as it was last issue. -The imagery's still interesting at the least. It's unfortunate the art butchers the only real highlight of this comic. THE BAD: -Sigh. I hate this series. -The art. I've you've heard something about it, it's probably right. -You just cannot get me to give any sort of shits about these characters. -I don't care about this story. -I don't care what's happening next. I'm done. I'll still read it, but I'm on my last leg with this one.

Incredibly confusing. Horrible character writing. Bad art. Slow pace. Kwannon is an absolute jerk to Laura. Laura is written so out of character so much so that she is unrecognizable. Why is Cable even in this.
