Young X-Men #9 Review

Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Young X-Men #9, about which I write the following sentences: "Rafa Sandoval is no Yanick Paquette, but he has provided some nice art for this two-part arc. There's no doubt that after nine issues, this has been the best-looking launch of the New Mutants/New X-Men/Young X-Men kind of team. Sure, many of those series attracted great artists later on (Bill Sienkiewicz and Skottie Young to name a couple), but the first nine issues of 'Young X-Men' have looked better than plenty of X-Men comics of any variety. And Guggenheim's ability to provide clean, straightforward, and often charming characterizations, has made this book a fun read month in and month out."

Young X-Men #8 Review

Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Young X-Men #8 about which I write the following sentences: "But all of it adds up to exactly what I said in the opening: a perfectly fine comic. It's almost exactly what you'd expect a comic titled 'Young X-Men' to be. It's younger mutants acting like junior members of the X-Men. It even echoes some of the events in the 'Uncanny X-Men' series, as the former Young X-Man known as Ink -- who thought he was a mutant, but it turns out his tattoo artist was the one laying the super-powered ink on him -- runs into some trouble with the Hellfire Cult. The Hellfire Cult seems less frightening here though. This must be the junior varsity Hellfire Cult members. It wouldn't be fair, otherwise."
