Oct 24, 2018This issue is lighter on the metaphor than most of the series has been, but has enough strong relationship moments and excellent characterizations that it will likely still leave X-Men fans with the urge to pump their fists in the air. Read Full Review

Oct 26, 2018This is the only X-Men book I read and one of the few I'd argue everyone should read. Read Full Review

Oct 24, 2018I like to be wrong. I was very wrong when I thought initially that nothing could top the events of the previous issue of X-Men: Red. It was a great feeling knowing that Tom Taylor knows how to hit you with a heavy story that genuinely represents what it means to fight for the future of a group of people. Why hasn't this guy been writing more of the X-Men stories? Read Full Review

Oct 25, 2018By the way, what a viscously miserable being she is. Calling Rachel Grey "dog girl" is a bit much. I'm not saying it's unnecessary dialogue. Far from it; I thought it was a small but great line that made me hate the character significantly more than before. Well done by Tom Taylor. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Peyton Hinckle
Oct 24, 2018X-MEN RED #9 is a fun read, with a lot of action and a lot of quality Jean Grey panel time, but it doesn't deliver a story half as intriguing as previous issues. The plot is so slow that this issue feels disappointingly similar to previous issues. Rachel is supposed to be a major player, but her role is surprisingly small. X-MEN RED is a great series, but this issue will fail to impress dedicated readers. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 27, 2018X-Men: Red #9 was a solid ending to battle with Cassandra Nova. Tom Taylor did a great job using this story arc to build Jean Grey back up as one of most powerful superheroes and the leader the X-Men need. But as Jean was the star of the show it was a shame that the rest of the X-Men took a backseat in the finale of this big story arc. If it wasn't for the small role everyone but Jean Grey played X-Men: Red #9 would've been a stronger end than it turned out to be. Read Full Review

AIPT - Connor Christiansen
Oct 24, 2018X-Men Red #9 doesn't live up to its potential and serves up yet another disappointing "confrontation" between Cassandra Nova and Jean Grey. Honeybdager, however, is once again a laugh riot and the unsung star of this series. Read Full Review

This continues to be a solid story. Shame it's ending soon.

A bit prolonged story but still good with Roge Antonia doing well on art!

Jean snatches Rachel out of Cassandra's clutches while some strong character work unfolds at Searebro. It's a clear story, it has a solid twist, and there's a laudable positive spirit behind the characterization.

This is good and I like the characters.

7.0
If this was a miniseries then it would be amazing but as of now it's an on going book with same plot, getting Cassandra Nova fatigue. As much as I did love seeing gabby in this book and seeing Rachel and Jean moments (which we don't get enough of).

6.0
It was a...fine issue, but it felt like a filler. It introduced a problem at the end of an issue, and then in this one they solve it. That's it. The fight also wasn't particularly interesting as well, and neither was the twist.
