X-Men Legends#6 gives readers whiplash throughout, jumping tonally all over the place and missing the mark on several key levels. The attempts at humor fall flat, and then flip 180 degrees to beats that skew far too dark. Skip this one. Read Full Review

Nice but not very memorable. It looks like something David wanted and just took the opportunity to create.

I liked how Doom was written, but this is middling, unfortunately.

The hostage situation plays out with some good twists, like Quicksilver bringing in the real Dr. Doom. But it chops off with an abrupt shaggy dog of an ending (I'm not trying to make a Wolfsbane joke). I really liked this up until the last few pages, but those pages left me unable to escape the feeling that the author ran out of space, shrugged, and slapped this unsatisfying finale on. The art's good throughout, though, and I did like the humor.
