A dialogue/caption-heavy issue that feels like it could have been framed better.
All in Drama
Apocalypse and the X-Tracts #2 // Review
While the flashbacks do some work providing details about Apocalypse in the dystopian utopia of The Age of X-Man, they seem unnecessarily tacked-on to an issue that isn’t doing a whole heck of a lot else.
Catwoman #10 // Review
Overcomes a disjointed plot structure to maintain the intrigue.

Mystery continues to bleed and pulse around the edges of aggression in a prison for super-humans.

Age Of X-Man – The X-Tremists #2 // Review
For a sustained six pages, the book doesn’t even FEEL like a mainstream superhero comic.

Physical action fades out into the background of an issue which intensifies intrigue.
Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler #2 // Review
Seanan McGuire is steering the title right into, “The Age of X-Man’s” greatest flaw.
Naomi #3 // Review
A story that’s deeply grounded in personal drama.
The Warning #5 // Review
With Earth’s forces so completely overpowered, this issue of The Warning feels…like a disaster story
