X-Terminators #3

Easily its best issue yet, the third installment of X-Terminators remains bombastic and fun while introducing new mystical and cosmic elements to the merry mutant mayhem. Dazzler, Jubilee, Boom-Boom, and Wolverine are getting what so few at Marvel ever do: be raunchy, messy people while continuing to be great superheroes. Even if you can only get one Marvel book this week, X-Terminators easily proves why it's the best pull. Read Full Review

With X-Terminators #3, the series continues to explore ideas of female sexuality, violence, and spectacle, while amping up the raunchy humor. Read Full Review

This series continues to be fun since it's working a bit “blue” compared to a lot of other titles and I'm glad that it's both a conscious decision and that people are warned that it's there in case it's not their thing. Some of it has always been there to a degree but by leaning into it you're going after something more specific. And that's attractive to me since it's not the norm and I'm glad it has a space. I still wouldn't want it in a lot more books overall but ones where it definitely works. The team continues to be the real draw and allowing them to speak as they do helps to humanize them a lot more as they deal with a stressful situation in the moment as well as the debriefing and judgment piece. It's fun, looks great, and has a solid flow to keep it quite engaging. Read Full Review

The bar is raised yet again for just how insane this comic can get. X-Terminators is clearly meant to be fun, and that's exactly what we're getting, in spades. Read Full Review

The gleeful grindhouse of X continues. It's gross, crude, explosive, but best of all, it's pretty and fun as hell. Just pick it up. Read Full Review

X-Terminators #3 sees Leah Williams pushing the grindhouse buttons perhaps too much, as some of the team's raunchier dialogue seems somewhat contrived in places where it came naturally in the first two issues. Read Full Review

X-Terminators #3 defies expectations. It's a comic that's nothing but noise, nonsense, and nattering in the middle of big action. There are no stakes, there's no dramatic tension, and the characters' voices all sound the same. Thankfully (or not), nobody seems to care, so if you want to spend the full cover price for a goof of a comic, this one may just be for you. Read Full Review

This book is the stupidest thing I ever read. I hope it runs for a hundred issues.

Williams said issue #3 was where they really started leanin' into things, and for me, it did seem as though they're hittin' their stride. Felt like they're gettin' more comfortable behind the wheel, ready to step on the gas, and hug those curves tightly. The winding flow was great, from the bloody vamp battle & Dazz's 🍑 tales w/the QC, to the Collector's space fortress & freeing his prisoners from Otherworld+. Enjoyed it & am glad, 'cause I very much wanted to. Lookin' forward to the neXt one, to the point where I won't wait to read it, 'cause I can't wait to see where it goes. Kinda captivated with the surprising twists it's taken, and the firmer footing it feels like it's found. The girls felt more distinct unto themselves & their c hemistry more genuinely harmonious, this time around. Way to whip up the crowd, Leah, ya done good! more

It's still wacky and cheeky (literally that, when it comes to the art), but the plot continues to march forward with some nice twists. Overall, it recaptures the gleeful mania of the first issue quite nicely. No matter how grim and high-stakes the Krakoan era gets, I'm happy that at least one Quiet Council meeting canonically includes the phrase "juicy dumper."

I don't know man...it's all just explosions and quippy jokes about female body parts. I'm not really seeing the appeal. I also find it funny how a lot of feminists will complain about men objectifying women, but then some of those same feminists will turn around and write issues like this where a character flashes her tig ol' bitties for hundreds of cheering vampires.
