Iceman's dream of bringing all the X-Men together for fun times and fellowship has backfired and left Graymatter Lane vulnerable as the teaching corps find themselves trapped on a distant plane of existence! Bad timing, as Lourdes Chantal is waiting in the wings on one side, a shadowy figure on the other - and who is Justina LaGuardia?!

Jul 01, 2026X-Men United #5 accidentally uncovers a dynamic between its characters that proves to be the best way forward for this title. It's enough to overcome an obvious plot twist, and I hope future issues lean into this dynamic. Read Full Review

Thanks to Eduardo Pansica‘s guest art, this issue is much easier on the eyes than issues #1-4. He even manages to produce a few outstanding panels, especially those featuring Mal Chance. However, his apparent talent and knack for horror is wasted on this utterly braindead book. The story and dialogue are as stupid as ever.
My personal highlight is when Honey Badger, or whatever the name of this derivative character is, clarifies that all of this takes place on the astral plane, and then suggests to find their missing teachers by sniffing them out. On the spirit plane. Let that sink in for a minute.
The good thing about this series is that indeed it all takes place in their minds, so it will be easy to have them all wake u more+ Like • Comments (4)• Likes (1) -

I dare anyone to make sense of Eves writing and rules for Greymatter lane. This book is well drawn and that’s about all the positivities. Look how many reviews it’s getting. A mass exodus from this book for all the reviewers…why? Well it’s really bad. Eve lost the plot long ago in issue 2. I want good X-men books. I really do. Aside from Orlando’s X-men Outback (which was just mid) the franchise is lost. 26 characters in this book with a rotten script. The shadow king can’t save this book. Tracking people’s scents on the astral plane was hilarious. This series was announced as canceled after just a handful of issues. So sad it took even that long. . It’s awful stuff.
