DrTracy's Profile

The Christian Ward story & art is the definite high point.

Nice homage to Gangs of New York in the beginning and a fine fight with a Crocodile. Art once again stands out.

Violent. The art stands out.

Art was good. Claremont article/interview at the end probably the better read however.

Giving this a nine purely for the bibliography.

Bad art. Sorry.

One of those one-shots that had an idea for an ending but wasn't sure how to get there. Some good moments especially when it came to the art, but as it was nothing more than a vehicle to initiate another X-Book with absolutely no correlation to the original team depicted here (Spoiler Alert it will be a Weapon-X Wolverine book) I cannot go any higher.

It is a solid volume thus far. No complaints. Good writing. Informational "science." And the art suits the story well. Waiting for it to take things to the next level.

Better than 1 and 2. Good trajectory.

Better than issue one.

I mean I guess this is better than number one. Which was not particularly difficult to achieve.

Awesome art buried another a mountain of asinine and unnecessary text. Good lord what a slog.

Yawn

Good art dumb dialogue.

Good story. Sub-par art.

Disjointed end to a disjointed book...

I don't even know what this was...

Different art and the story might land better.

Still building...

Now under its fourth writer since "re-launch" the Champions faces a crossroads. The story itself feels compelling enough to see how it shakes out. The dialogue at times is clunky. Particularly in the opening salvos. Some of the quips just do not hit their mark. However, the more serious exposition does really feel in the spirit of the Champions. Art is of course perfect for a book of this nature. Vecchio is just fun. Obviously Lore will need time to build, and I'm hopeful they will.

Still not great, but probably the best issue of this series thus far. Art carries book.

Rough art

Series is up and down.

Brett Booth forgot what decade he was drawing in. Also hopefully this "story" bears fruit later because if not, what a waste of pages. Only bright spot was Bobby and Sam. The rest of it bleh. From the 90s costumes to the "villain" this will soon be found in the dollar bin.

Marcus To is dope

Eh, this is not off to the best start. Why is Armor being trained by people she is more than capable of commanding? Also isn't she with S.W.O.R.D.?

The art is good. The "stories" are not. What is this book even about anymore? Also nice to see Bishop... for a second.

This book reads like a dreaded chore. So much text, none of it that interesting. Wish Rachel/Lorna were doing things more interesting than this.

Don't want, NEED more Maggie Braddock

The Glob scene was neat

I suppose this was the best issue so far, but even still, meh.

Little disorienting at first but intriguing

Savage indeed.

Certainly one way to wrap up plot points

This current run needs more buzz. It is very good.

Coming back to this issue after an extended break in reading was perfect. Also finishing Empyre the day before was a nice coincidence.

Don't want. NEED an on-going She-Hulk!

Better than 2. Not better than 3. But moving things along.

Put this issue on the Cyclops' Greatest Hits Album.

I know people don't like Kid Cable. Blah blah blah. Anyways, with Noto's art this was easily the best issue of the entire cross-over since Creation for me. Everything worked. And The White Sword is far and away the most interesting new character to come out of this entire Arakko storyline in my opinion.

Kept rolling my eyes, but then. That. Storm. Finale. LORDY! That's the good stuff.

This is good

My guy Brisson.

Frustrating and kind of boring. I do like the art somewhat, but the writing just seems rudderless.

Yikes this is hard to get through...

Fantastic art. Questionable references...

I thought this was an extremely well done issue. Not only as a recap but as a true look at Kamala as a character.

I trust Eve moving forward, but this did not have the feel of a re-launch. My hope is that once the Outlawed "event" is done that this book can get back to what it was under Waid & Zub. Still I think a smaller group is the way to go. The Champions should have a tight-knit friend group feel to them. Not this huge pool of heroes constantly cycling in and out. We already have mutants for that...

Nothing against the art, but I just did not like this issue. Seems out of touch.

I am not really sure what I just read, but I did enjoy it. Marcus To's art is awesome.

Fully understand people's feeling towards the ending. I did however quite enjoy the data pages on the Brood. Which probably is not a great sign for the issue itself. That being said my reaction is not as visceral, and sometimes an ending can be simple and dare I say "silly" and anticlimactic.

I like the premise. The art is very good, but I do not love this version of Alex Summers. I wish he could have been written more similar to Rosenberg's version in Astonishing & Uncanny. Guess it was only one issue, so will have to wait and see.

Had a throwback vibe to it. Feels too deliberate to be a one off story. Much like the previous Giant-Size.

Suppose it serves as a crash course in Kulan Gath

This series has grown on me. Glad I stuck with it.

This series is what it is. Solid, non-thinking, straight-forward, action. Zircher is a marked improvement in the art from #6. Notable the Elektra/Strange exchange.

Solid annual. Decent story that fits in with what has been happening. Also I enjoy the Conan map.

The story is fine. Quick read like the others. Sudden shift in art is a bit much...

The nod to Immortal Hulk and Dawn of X was a nice touch.

Hand up, I have no strong bond with Cable so "Kid Cable" doesn't really matter to me. I like Armor so anything with her is welcome. So this was fine

Damn... Also I NEED more of the precognitive telekinetic bears from IO-X4

Good art. Nice surprises.

Garron goes out with a bang! Literally. Tremendous art on this run by him, and Ahmed continues to be a natural fit for this character.

Three artists on a book is never a good recipe for success. The Ortega pages at home were very poor. Looked like a different character from a different series. Height's pages of the cemetery were so-so. Without the Ze Carlos pages for Brooklyn Visions this book would be the worst of the series because of the art alone. However, Ahmed continues to deliver solid story with a nice cliffhanger.

Solid issue. Some fun callbacks to the first 12 issues of this run.

Armor and Laura(Wolverine) in the same issue. <3

Magento's speech was nice

Art lifts this up

Not sure why I was bothered so much by the sudden change in the length of Emma's hair but I was. Other than that solid.

I mean the writing was more compelling than previous issues, but this art is NOT for me...

Laura says "I don't understand any of this" and between the story, art, and dialogue I second her sentiments. Big swing and a miss for Dawn of X...

Lovely and fitting conclusion. Need Tom Taylor on a new Marvel ongoing ASAP.

Great opening.

Expertly written and setting up something big

A fine culmination to a solid volume. The art will always be what I remember most from this series. Simply stunning from issue to issue.
