Aug 22, 2022X-Terminators is like a fun night on the town, only that night involves blowing up vampires' heads and loving every minute of it. There's nothing else like X-Terminators in the X-Men line, making it a unique experience. Read Full Review

Sep 25, 2022Overall, X-Terminators #1 is a pretty screwed up version of The Hangover but with mutants. The story by Williams is pure joy. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, X-Terminators #1 is a story that comic book fans will both enjoy and cringe. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Priya Saxena
Sep 21, 2022X-Terminators #1 is as hilarious as it is blood-soaked. This comic knows how silly its being and wants the reader to know it knows. Its particular brand of violence and humor may not be for everyone, but those who enjoy the concept of Dazzler roller-skating through puddles of blood chewing gum and blasting vampires are sure to love it.

Sep 22, 2022I just had a blast with this one. It's silly, over the top and looks great. It's one of those comics that keeps a smile on your face the whole damn time. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Sep 28, 2022I didn't go in with a lot of expectations because I'm so disconnected from all of this but it did exactly what I had hoped. The book focuses on just a few characters without all the larger trappings that make up both Marvel and mutantdom in particular. What we get here is something that's very simple and character-driven that then takes us into the wild and crazy stuff. The core trio we spend time with here aren't deeply fleshed out but you get a sense of who they are and that makes it easier to go along for the ride with and see what it introduces us to. It does help knowing who these characters are since I've got old familiarity, but it's also pretty standard stuff here. The artwork is great and the pacing is solid as it moves us from a breakup into a crazy world of death. It just works it works really well. I'm definitely keen to check out more. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Sep 21, 2022X-Terminators #1 is mostly carried by its art, with a story that doesn't live up to the potential it promised. Having been let down by The Trial of Magneto, which Williams also penned, I hope this title doesn't suffer the same fate. But so far, it feels like the Spice Girls attempting to do a cover of the Wu-Tang Clan. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 21, 2022Final Thoughts:X-Terminators #1 has bold art and kinetic action, but the plot makes no sense, and the heroes are written in the same voice as screechy, delinquent middle schoolers. Read Full Review

Was _X-Terminators_ (2022) #1 good? I don't know. However, the art is great, the story is pretty zany and it's fun (despite of or due to all the blood, I'm not sure). Some of the interactions between the characters were a bit odd (Dazzler and Jubilee on the phone, for example) and Dazzler, Jubilee and Boom-Boom all act pretty bratty/immature (honestly, I'm probably too old for comics in general and this book in particular), but once the action starts, it's a breezy, random, violent yet surprisingly fun story. In terms of "grindhouse," this is all pretty comic and light; as a contrast, compare the lack of seatbelt and Boom-Boom's accident to the accident in Tarantino's _Death Proof_. The former is Looney Tunes, while the latter is grindho more

I get what they're going for, and I think they're succeeding. Not excelling, but succeeding. It's trashy and corny (in a very intentional way), and I also think it's rewarding if you buy into it. Example: The argument against the protagonists just resurrecting their way back to Krakoa is silly, but also smart -- and it's deployed exactly when I was wondering about the same thing myself.

This was bananas, not sure if it's in a good way yet.

It's fine, wish the pacing was better. The premise is strong, but the execution is clunky.

This is not what I had in mind when it was first described months ago. This is quite the opposite of a mature book. I hope we can get the equivalent of DC's Black label for Marvel so we can actually get some real mature books along with goofy S#$@ like this one.
