X-Men #4, by Marvel Comics on 9/18/24, sends the team out to battle the Upstarts before adult-transitioning mutants are killed in the name of likes and views.
Is X-Men #4 Good?
Bleh! X-Men #4 isn’t the worst comic in Tom Brevoort’s From the Ashes Era, but it’s a pretty big step down from the previous issue. Jed MacKay continues to foreshadow big things happening behind the scenes, but this issue does little to get you excited for the here and now.
When last we left the Alaska-based team in X-Men #3, Scott had a “Come to Jesus” meeting with Agent Lundqvist at the local diner to set expectations about what the X-Men will and won’t do, whether the government likes it or not. Meanwhile, a Shrike squad infiltrated the factory to steal (destroy?) the last remaining Cerebro. Their mission was not successful.
