HOW DO YOU CANCEL SUCH A DEFINED BODY OF WORK MARVEL?
Review of advance copy
Yet another showcase for Peach Momoko’s singular watercolor vision, but it’s hard not to feel the strain of poor editorial support weighing down the book. Momoko’s pages remain groundbreaking between the comics and manga worlds—soft washes of color, dreamlike transitions, and expressive character work that make this version of the X‑Men feel genuinely otherworldly. The problem is everything around that art. The plotting feels adrift, as if major connective tissue was cut or never delivered, and the volume leans too heavily on readers to fill in gaps that should’ve been guided by stronger oversight. The result is a gorgeous but uneven reading experience: breathtaking visuals wrapped around a story that deserved more structural care. Marvel completely bungled this.

A Visual Dream, Narratively Cut Short
Momoko’s signature watercolor style is as haunting and beautiful as ever, making every page feel like a gallery piece. By avoiding tie-ins, the series stayed unique, but the lack of a real ending makes it feel like Momoko was forced to sprint to the finish line. It’s clear her original vision got caught in the crossfire of Marvel wrapping up the Ultimate Universe for the Endgame event.
A gorgeous "what if" that deserved a much longer runway. Let’s hope she gets to revisit this continuity soon.

the end? an absurdly good run that deserves more praise for its storytelling and stunning art. wish it’d go on for longer but marvel is apparently allergic to money

resd in singles issues.
dip remains in the valley here for me. there are some higher points than last volume but it feels like 22 was the end of the series and 23-24 was the start of a new arc. however it was ALWAYS planned to end at 24. come on Dan Buckley.
