    This issue is, essentially, a long fight scene. However, Bunn still manages to weave intriguing dialogue and characterization into this action-packed thriller. Read Full Review

    X-Men Blue #32 is a good reminder that no one throws a temper tantrum quite like the master of magnetism. Read Full Review

    It's an X-Men vs. Magneto fight of mythological proportions. The punchy zappy mechanics look decent, but for me, the true greatness is in the subtle, painful, complex portrait it paints of the villain. Teen Jean needs to get inside that exceptionally damaged head (with true empathy, not telepathy) and find out if there's anything left beyond villainy. It's a privilege to peek in with her.

    X-Men Blue #32 works very well for me, but, once again, Magneto is my all-time favorite villain/anti-hero/whatever he is on any given week. This is a classic duel between the original X-Men and their greatest foe; the only differences are the stakes, setting, and context (okay, thats pretty much everything, shut up). I dug the hell out of it and can recommend this book easily. Check it out. Read Full Review

    Though there have been stronger issues of X-Men Blue, this is a solid outing, especially when it focuses on Magneto, which is where Bunn truly shines. This issue earns a solid recommendation, especially for fans of the Master of Magnetism. Read Full Review

    X-Men Blue # is so close to being a solid issue of X-Men, but it is held back by weak dialogue, poor pacing, and spotty art. Read Full Review

    It is hard not to feel a little divorced from the rest of the issue's events as a result, those events comprised mostly of seven mutants yelling very passionately at each other. Read Full Review

    The O5 X-Men fight Magneto to keep him from killing Emma Frost. The script is mainly concerned with didactic character work - there's a bit too much "shouting how I feel." The art is something special, with a strong command of bold, simple character work. Unfortunately, the script just doesn't invest enough creativity in the mechanics of the big fight. We're stuck mainly with exquisitely talented renderings of mutants flexing through bog-standard combat poses. This is definitely a good comic, but it could definitely have done more. On a strategic note, I dislike the way this author is foreshadowing Extermination. He's stuffing the O5 full of "we won't be here much longer" sentiment, and their sense of impending doom reads as though they' more

    What a lost of time. All this for that. I hope the following story will be better. Cover - Nice & related. 2/2 Writing - That was well made, but not what I wanted. 2/3 Arts - The art is good but sometime seems not finished. 2/3 Feeling - I don't like it. 0/2
