LET THEM BE SNAKES
BAD IS THE NEW GOOD! When Krakoa opened their doors to all mutants and forgave all past crimes, they might have known they'd have to accept some of their worst foes into the fold...but they didn't plan for what to do with them. Not to worry—Mister Sinister knows what to do with the troublemakers. Meet his new Hellions: Scalphunter, Wild Child, Empath, Nanny, Orphanmaker, Psylocke...and Havok?! Under Sinister's direction, they are sure to become productive members of mutant society. Writer ZEB WELLS (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, NEW MUTANTS) and artist STEPHEN SEGOVIA (WOLVERINE: MANIFEST DESTINY, SUPERIOR CARNAGE) bring you the team you're going to hate to love!

This starts off with a good premise. With all mutants being welcomed to Krakoa there are going to be many who have some kind of issue or are just outright sociopaths. We know that Sabretooth was an extreme example and the...

Serious throwback vibes in here, in a good way! Sinister steals the show and personal politics start to rage. Perfect #1 set up. Easily my favorite book this week!

With how much Hickman has been trying to reset the X-Men, it was surprising to see how much this issue seems intended to appeal to fans of older X-Men material. It's like Sinister and Frost traded team names, as this is more in-tune with what fans of the older Marauders would want compared to the pirate adventures of the modern team. I especially appreciated how the roll call segment is suitable both to new and old fans--it introduces the characters and their personalities without being too redundant for seasoned fans to enjoy.

Fantastic first issue. Segovia's art is exceptional here, and Wells' distinct voices for all the characters makes this debut sing. It's not so much a team so far as a randomly assorted group of sociopaths and... -

Anyone ? I can't tell from the preview if it'll be good or not. I'm down with the concept tho.
I am a very huge fan of Zeb Wells! His work is underrated and I am interested with how he deals with the cast, especially from the garbage heap that was Fallen Angels.
Early reviews are good and the preview looks good. I'm happy we're going to explore some of Havok's trauma. Dude's been made a pawn of villains so many times that some kind of break was bound to happen.
I think Bryan Hill is a great writer and I didn't think fallen angels was bad but it just wasn't for me. Kind of surprised it got canned while Excalibur remained.
Never been a fan of Bryan Hill's works aside from Killmonger. I actually do know the more in-depth reason to why he was kicked out after Fallen Angels, but again, love Zeb and the cast here, so let's do this.
It never was meant to be an ongoing.
DJT, out with the hot gos ! ;)
ps just read this. What is up with the baby talk from Mr Sinister ? "Clean up those poopy pants Scott".....
I never thought I would see Mr. Sinister as someone with overt comedic value. It's a definite departure from his demeanor in Fallen Angels. I like it!
Also I foresee Kid Omega filing a grievance with the Quiet Council over Empath trying to steal his "obnoxious superiority complex" shtick.
Ok, I must admit I did not see this coming. Plus the Quiet Council seems to have its own share of problems. Aaaaaand Scalphunter vs. the Morlocks. Classic.
This was way better than I expected it to be in both writing and art. Nicely done.
I think this was my favorite debut issue of the whole line so far. I'm really excited for the exploration of Havok's trauma. Dude's been under some sort of mind control just about every other year since his creation lol
I really enjoyed this one as well. I thought the new X-titles got off to a promising start but then dipped for me with X-Force and Fallen Angels. So this was a great surprise especially as some of these characters are not the most well known or particularly interesting.
