Young X-Men #5 – Capsule Review

Posted on August 24, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Marc Guggenheim (Writer), Yanick Paquette (Pencils), Ray Snyder (Inker), and Rob Schwager (Colorist) I like to give a new series at least one full arc to prove its worth.

Young X-Men #4 – Review

Posted on July 13, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Marc Guggenheim, (Writer) Yanick Paquette, (Pencils) Ray Snyder, (Inks) and Rob Schwager (Colors) Since it launched, I have been fairly critical of Young X-Men. The writing has been hit or miss, the art has been either sloppy or inconsistent (or both), and the overall plot has felt somewhat disjointed. While all of those criticisms [...]

Marc Guggenheim (Writer), Yanick Paquette (Pencils), Rob Schwager (Colorist), Ray Snyder, and Kris Justice (Inkers) Young X-Men is another series that is on notice.

Young X-Men #1 – Review

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Deamentia

By Marc Guggenheim (writer), Yanick Paquette (art), Ray Snyder (colors), Rob Schwager (colors) Young X-Men is such a gimmicky title. Yet, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
