AIPT
X-Men #13 is a really good fight comic. It sets up the team's goals for the issue, has them commit to those goals, works together, and keeps the stakes high. In some sense, the battle in this issue is self-contained though reading the main event is highly recommended. X-Men is a good tie-in, but an even better team book. - 85
The Comicbook Dispatch
X-MEN #13 was certainly fun, exciting, fast-paced, and showcased once again that Duggan can juggle a large cast of characters. And readers, please don’t overlook that element of a team book. It’s extremely difficult to give everyone on a team their fair shake. Yet Duggan finds a way to solve problems with everyone involved like a master chess player. However, my biggest concern with his X-MEN run is that even though there is reasonably balanced air time, Synch continues to be awkwardly focused and a bit too overdone. Additionally, specific to this issue of X-MEN, Duggan reveals some pretty big stuff that may have been better suited for the main A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY event and not so much in a tie-in issue. However, overall, X-MEN #13 continues to show how impressive Duggan is at the helm of the biggest X-title and why it continues to be the X-book everyone should have on their pull list. - 83
Comic Watch
The first issue to the new era, with a new team, and its off to a decent start. The dialogues kinda clunky, but Villas art is great here. The new team is pretty much nondescript at this point, so Im excited to see what Duggan will give us as time moves on. - 82

X-Men #13 gives readers some more depth and backstory to fill in what the main title leaves out. X-Men #13 is an essential issue because it focuses more on smaller moments and gives readers more insight into several characters. Duggan is finding his footing with this series, and it’s paying off for X-Men fans. - 40

The newly elected X-Men squad getting tossed straight into the Judgment Day event proves to be unfortunate all around. It feels like we've skipped to the end of the movie, as characters we've spent no time with are suddenly thrust into combat with giant creatures trying to destroy Krakoa. Usually, this is where Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia would swoop in to save the day with luscious visuals that elevate and the chaos into elegant action, but the fill-in art team is not up to that task. The issue feels cluttered, with characters often appearing out of nowhere and the issue acting like they've been there the whole time. There's little in the way of dialogue beyond combat orders, leading to a confusing, off-putting mess of an introduction that also doesn't feel terribly essential to Judgment Day's plot, making it a miss on all fronts. - 40
You Don't Read Comics
X-Men #13 opens up with a massive mistake thats impossible to forgive. Therere several other problems throughout the book as well, but this book is almost too simple for Duggans shoddy writing to screw up. That makes it the best chapter of this book in ages, which is damning it with faint praise. Villa and Milla do a good job on the art. This issue isnt great, but it isnt as terrible as usual.
