    Finally, another strong female-led series
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2014*

The Marvel Now launch for the X-Men, or I should say X-Women, gets off to a strong start.  I'm surprised it took Marvel so long to put together an all-female team that isn't cobbled together (like The Fearless Defenders).  These characters have been working together since the beginning, albeit always with men in the group, and so this line-up not only makes sense, it actually works.I've never read any of the X-Men series until now because I was intimidated by so much continuity/backstory for so many major characters. So, I freely admit I bought the first volume of this X-Men because it was all women.  I've been hoping for a strong female-led series, besides Captain Marvel, and it's great to discover one here.  First off, the story jumps right in without burdening readers with background.  Storm, Rogue, Psyloche, Rachel, Jubilee and Kitty Pride work at the Jean Grey School.  Sublime, who I am not familiar with, has the power to possess bodies.  He arrives at the school to warn them that his sister Arkea has returned to Earth and is a major threat.  And what Sublime can do to people, she can do to technology.  The team comes together naturally, but was not planned. And that leaves Storm and Rachel butting heads on who exactly the leader should be.  But, it's not outright antagonism; they do respect each other, even if they do not agree. This was a refreshing change from the big personality clashes that occur in Avengers' teams.  And, the villain is unique and original, in addition to being a threat that is most certainly going to return.  The story has resolution, but also lays the groundwork for future plotlines.Overall, this was a very strong start to the new series.  Unlike Defenders, which I keep reading hoping it will improve, X-Men fulfills most of its potential right out of the gate.  Highly recommended.

    Good start, but nothing spectacular
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2015*

This book is the first ongoing X-Men series to have a primarily female cast. Most of the characters involved (Omega Sentinel, Rachel Summers, John Sublime, etc.) are given a fair amount of focus. Olivier Coipel provides truly gorgeous visuals, especially with the big fight scenes. They also include a fun issue from Claremont's good years.My issues with this? 1) Vampire Jubilee as a mom is a really, really stupid idea. It's stupid that she's still a vampire, and it's really stupid that everyone just rolls with her thinking she's ready to take care of a small child. 2) I wish this book consisted more of the X-Men/X-Women that aren't already given good time in other books, like the X-students. The biggest problem, 3) the dialogue is, at times, very stilted and awkward.Having mentioned all those issues, I still think the series has potential. Most of the issues mentioned can be easily resolved. Give it a chance, and see what you think of it.

    Great read for longtime fans
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015*

I'll admit it was a cover of an all woman line up that first got my interest. The storyline and dialogue is what really made me enjoy this comic. As a fan for over 30 years, I knew each of the characters and really liked how they have changed but still remained true to who they were deep down. I also liked the addition of a reprint of X-MEN 244, the first appearance of Jubilee. There were neat nostalgic bits here for longtime fans.
