Marauders #9

Marauders consistently weaves a compelling and satisfying one issue story while still slowly rolling out other threads, and this issue continues that run of excellence. Read Full Review

The fill-in artists have been doing wonderful work, but it simply feels like home with him back in. Delgado is a master and can bring out the best in anybody he works with, showcasing it yet again here. The whole creative team for this book is just absolutely dynamite and continues to impress. Join me again here next month, as Forge joins the team for Marauders #10! Read Full Review

Marauders #9 is a real trip in storytelling technique and the creativity required to show superpowers. It's an interesting look at Emma Frost and at the same time, the larger plot and world of Krakoa continue to be fleshed out well.  Read Full Review

Duggan hand delivers a powerful story in an ingenious way like he's done almost every week and continues to make this a top X-title. If you're an X-MEN fan, this is a must buy and must add to your pull list. If you're not an X-fan, it's still an amazing issue layered with dynamic art and an incredible story with a twist!

A cathartic and satisfying distraction from all the recent events that hint at some more game changing moves behind the scenes. I am impatient for the resolution of Shaws comeuppance but this is a resoundingly fun way to put that on the back burner for now. Read Full Review

At the end of the day, Marauders #9 had one objective and accomplished it. Another problem surfaced, another problem put to rest, while at the same time acknowledging an enemy who has attracted the wrong kind of attention from the mutants. It should be interesting to see where they go from here because they can either focus more on the mystery behind Kate's situation, the true reason for her death, or jump into the next Hellfire Trading Company job.

It all adds up to another wryly entertaining installment of Marauders. Read Full Review

"Marauders" #9 definitely continues the streak. Read Full Review

Overall this was a great fun issue that really showcased some fan favourite mutants. This series continues to be one of the best x-books out right now. Even with some subpar art, the book is still pretty solid. Read Full Review

A couple of confusing passages had me stumbling off the top, while the back end didn't thrill me either. Still generally good overall. Read Full Review

Marauders is a fun book that is developing lesser known characters into stars. Read Full Review

I love the swashbuckling adventure feel of this book! The plan to extract Yellowjacket from Pyro is probably my favorite action scene from this series up to this point.

Whoo Doggy! Now this is what Im talking about, you get away from all the silly pirate shit and you really have something here. Everyone who says this title is consistent is full of it but this issue is truly good. Twist intro, badass thrill ride of a middle and a great finish. Damn Duggan you did me good this Wednesday. Art was great and I loved the design on the cuckoo sisters. That being said it does have moments that feel weaker than others but still one of the better artists on this run, this title would do well to let him have residence for a time.

Prelude: While people have been disliking Marauders recently, I've been enjoying it a lot especially after last issue. The Good: I really like how the Marauders took down Yellowjacket. Lolli's art was great. Interesting development with Kate. Love Emma here. Infographics as always are great. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion: While I want Kate to come back, the book is performing well again in her absence. Loved this issue.

Emma Frost coordinates a psychic mission to expunge Yellowjacket from Pyro. It's not enough of a victory to make her feel happy, though: Efforts to resurrect Kate aren't working. This is an awesome story conveyed with well-above-average skill. It misses true greatness, I think, by being a little too roomy and decompressed. The scenes are a little too long, that datafile is a little too big, the art is a little short of detail. Marauders remains one of my fave DoX titles, but I can't deny this issue is improvable.

A pretty fun issue with Emma using her telepathic powers to study and learn more about Yellowjacket's infiltration of Pyro. Speaking of Pyro, I always forget that he got that giant face tattoo earlier in the series. Either way, I liked how Duggan wrote everyone here and I think he has a nice grasp on these characters. Lolli's art was pretty solid as well. That said, though, I am ready for Kate to return soon. I'm sure she won't be dead for long.

Wow. Marauders is easily the most controversial X-Book. While I enjoyed Emma subbing for Kitty as the main protagonist, I was really hoping for progress on the Kitty subplot. Emma and the Cuckoos tricking Yellowjacket was pretty cool but I thought his stat inside Pyro was rather short. The entertaining info pages make this comic so much better. Not a horrible comic but not what it could be.

Honestly the party planning subplot is my favourite ever.

Emma is such a badass. Even Pyro was badass in this issue. I know Kate is coming back, but I don't know how, that's where I hope Duggan will do something different.

"I already know I'm busy that night" Yes! Keep going this way Marauders and we may finally be able to break that barrier and go above the score of 7. But I think we'll need Kate for that. Emma just keeps knocking out of the park with those outfits.

Mediocre series inexplicably overrated by “critics”. Just note the difference all issues between critics ratings and user ratings.

This was honestly pretty confusing. The ideas were cool, but the writing executed them in a really awkward way.

Plot really slow and barely progresses. Lack of storm and Iceman mourning Kitty

So we have Storm and Iceman who is true friends with Kate, but only see an out of nowhere Emma Frost caring? we only see the POV of a rich white woman then huh

This book is just not for me. It's boring and the characters are all the same. Everyone wants to be the funny one. Really sucks

I don't see anyone in this issue trying to be funny. Emma and Pyro have humorous personality traits, but that's consistent. Everyone else is pretty much dead serious.
