Comic Watch - Bethany W Pope
Sep 26, 2024This issue was fun, deeply atmospheric, and beautifully rendered. The plot stuttered in a few places, but not badly enough to blur the intent. It's well worth picking up. Read Full Review

AIPT - jonathan jones
Sep 25, 2024Uncanny X-Men #3 builds upon the first two issues, deepening the lore behind the Outliers and the newly christened Sarah Gaunt. The momentum unfortunately slows even further, but it promises to pick up next issue for some scary scenes and Logan's life on the line. The X-Men have barely had the chance to get through a single training session with the Outliers, but is that enough for them to be put to the test against such a monstrous opponent? Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 28, 2024Uncanny X-Men #3 is an oddly disjointed comic with strong emotional beats and interesting action.
