THE GREAT ESCAPE!
Sabretooth and the other exiled mutants have stopped fighting each other long enough to start working together. They might not like one another, but they all want out of the Pit. You'd think their biggest obstacle would be the Professor or Magneto...but no. The greatest obstacle will be one of their own.

COMICON - Scott Redmond
Apr 29, 2022Everything is going according to plan as the cast of mutant exiles begins their journey to secure their freedom but also bring the curtain crashing down to reveal the truth of Krakoa's sins. Such a deep and gorgeous and thoughtful issue, continuing the energy and amazing work this creative team has done so far. A title with the name Sabretooth upon it is sure to turn many away, but this is truly one of the best X-related books we've ever gotten. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
May 04, 2022Sabretooth #3 switches things up on everyone in the best possible way. It's definitely one of the most brilliant books on the market right now. LaValle is doing an amazing job, and this book is already one of the best things from the Krakoa era. Kirk and Beredo's art is excellent and the perfect accoutrement to the writing. Sabretooth is a must-read comic, but that's not terribly surprising. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Apr 26, 2022Bits and PiecesSabretooth #3 successfully plants the seeds of rebellion on Krakoa when the cracks of corruption have long since spread. LaValle demonstrates why Creed, even when trapped in a comatose state, is still one of the most dangerous mutants around. With excellent writing but admittedly little action, this offshoot of the X-Titles shows the most promise for the future of Krakoa. Read Full Review

Monkeys Fighting Robots - Jeremy Carter
Apr 30, 2022Sabertooth #3 is another interesting entry in the series. It's nice to see Creed in a different role instead of just a vicious killer. LaValle does a remarkable job of humanizing one of comics greatest psychopaths. The artwork brings the story to life in a realistic and intriguing way. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Apr 27, 2022Sabretooth #3 is an interesting issue that'll have you thinking about life, manipulation, and the prison system. It's a series that feels mature in its approach. Lavalle is very good at making you think about these characters and how the machinations of culture, society, and choice affect them. By extension, that may go for your own life as well.

Apr 27, 2022Sabretooth #3 is another impressive bit of commentary on the horrors of America's carceral state and a key flaw in Krakoa's fictional foundations. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Quinn
Apr 27, 2022Sabretooth #3 is ramping up the plot with an exciting escape plan and a good character study on the titular character. While this issue finds itself lacking in comparison to the past two issues in terms of action and fantastical locations, it's nevertheless a good step in the right direction plot-wise.

Is the appeal of the "here's a bunch of historical anecdotes that relate (subtly or obviously) to the story" technique a subjective thing? All I know is that I *love* it, and this issue is a treat for me. The strong, confident art helps move things along, and all those anecdotes support a wickedly clever plot. All the good plot work leaves characterization oh-so-slightly shortchanged (This is a super-important issue for Melter, though). So I rate it as very good, not quite great -- but right on the point of crossing over.

Another super solid issue as we reach the midway point of this miniseries. Not as much Sabretooth here, but I did appreciate the focus on the supporting cast, especially Melter. Hopefully we continue to get a good amount of focus on him in these next two issues.

I've never liked the concept of "The Pit." It seems like an overly cruel form of punishment in a promised utopia. I'm glad to see the uglier side of Krakoa being exposed, but it does seem heavy handed at times, e.g. Melter. I'm hoping by the end of this, rehabilitation will be the goal rather than torture.

Not very Sabretooth centric. With a lot of prominent mutants in publication limbo, I'm surprised we're seeing so much of Melter.

Each issue just seems to be losing me as the whole quick to condemn people to the pit over minor things doesn't gel with the other books. I do see Xavier as a very questionable character but feel he'd just mind wipe the kid rather than tossing him in the pit. But I did highly appreciate the historical facts sprinkled into the story as well as showing what those betrayed by their nation/public justice system have to overcome and how I'd feel if it happened to me which elevated this issue from a 6.5 to a 7 for me.
