Mar 25, 2026The Uncanny X-Men continues to thrive under Gail Simone, and at this point, there’s no one else I’d rather write these characters. As the comic run continues, one thing is very clear: this is what makes the X-Men great. The love, the passion, and the heart that go into making these comics. Read Full Review

Mar 25, 2026The Legion Of Monsters have the X-Men on the ropes, but nothing is over until its over! Simone orchestrates a thrilling finish to the current arc. The art team shines in bringing the action and struggles to the pages! When fans think “X-Men”, Simone’s run should be on the top of their list! Read Full Review

Mar 25, 2026Marquez, Vecchio and Messina create beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the different art styles and how they complement each other while also creating a beautiful dark tone to the world of the stories. Read Full Review

Mar 25, 2026Uncanny X-Men #25 wraps up “Where Monsters Dwell” with energy and heart, juggling a large cast and multiple tones without losing sight of what makes these characters compelling. Gail Simone delivers a finale that feels earned, tying together its monster-filled chaos with a clear thematic throughline about heroism and identity. While a few moments feel compressed and the artistic transition is noticeable, the issue sticks the landing where it counts. It leaves the team in a strong place and reminds readers why the X-Men continue to thrive in stories that embrace both the strange and the sincere. Read Full Review

The inconsistent art trend continues, as David Marquez fills his pages with lots of empty space, relying on the fact that his faces and figures still look better on a lazy work day than those of most other artists. Unfortunately, this is only going to work for so long before readers start seeing through the illusion. Just ask John Byrne.
Fill-in artist Luciano Vecchio's work looks more solid, but I just don't care for his saccharine style.
The backup story is drawn by a third artist, David Messina, who's okay, but not spectacular.
Storywise, Uncanny X-Men #25 is a mildly entertaining but somewhat confusing read, especially when you know nothing about the Darkhold mythos. Is this Darkhold lady Agatha Harkness? She more+ Like • Comment• Likes (2) -

Gail Simone continues her reign of terror on the X-Men books. This issue, like all the others in this “Where the Monsters Dwell " story, is particularly terrible. Whether it's the dialogue of Gambit and Rogue, the bumbling villains like Lady Darkhold who are dispatched like something out of Scooby-Doo, or the dragon at the end...this book offers so much to offend X-Men fans. The art is also something to behold. Luciano must have been rushed or simply not given a damn due to the page rate. Many of the people have no faces even drawn on them. When the art switches to David Massina, it's equally as bad and very jarring.
I look at this issue only 1 way: this story arc is a mess, it's dumb, and it’s $5.99. Get the hell out of town! Fi more -
