Ahoy, muties - the X-Men sail at dawn! Mutantkind has begun a glorious new era on Krakoa, but some nations’ human authorities are preventing mutants from escaping to this new homeland. Which is where Captain Kate Pryde and her high-seas allies come in! Funded by Emma Frost and the Hellfire Trading Company, Kate and her crew of Storm, Pyro, Bishop and Iceman sail the seven seas to liberate their fellow mutants - as the Marauders!

So much fun

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2021

This book is great for just about anybody. I am relatively new to comics, and I still understood this story. All you need to know is a basic understanding of the mutants and their powers, and you need to know that mutants are hated by humans. I love this story, it’s a lot of fun, and I recommend you read up on it. Super excited for vol. 3

So, far this is my favorite of the new Dawn of X X-Men books

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

Marauders is one of the original line of Dawn of X books that relaunched the X-Men line. In Dawn of X, Charles Xavier has founded a mutant nation on the miraculous island of Krakoa and has invited every mutant in the world to come join them. As a way to assure that the rest of the world recognizes this new nation and respects them, they use Krakoa to produce life-saving and life-extending drugs that they sell to the rest of the world. Xavier entrusts Emma Frost and her Hellfire Trading Company with the distribution of the drugs and Emma reaches out to Kate/Kitty Pryde to be one of the key figures in the company. Marauders is about Kate and the crew of her ship (initially Storm, Iceman, Pyro, and Lockheed) as they travel the world, cracking down on the black market for the Krakoan drugs and rescuing mutants whose governments won't let them go to Krakoa - like in Russia where mutants are forced to serve the state.

Kate Pryde is the central figure of this series and it's Gerry Duggan's interpretation of her that really made the series shine for me. She's still a fun and light-hearted character but Kate is older now and going through an intense personal crisis as she's not sure that she belongs on Krakoa (the teleportation portals that other mutants use to travel to Krakoa don't work for Kate, which feels as if the island itself is rejecting her). After years of being a teenage super hero and then a teacher, she doesn't know who she is or where she belongs. So, there's more twenty-something-style misbehavior from her than you'd normally expect - drinking, clubbing, and tattoos. But it all felt completely appropriate to the character for me given where she is at the moment. And instead of feeling self-pitying or destructive, it was just a young woman cutting loose and having a good time with her friends.

I enjoyed all of the characters in the book. Emma's relationship with Kate is great, she's almost like a once-hated stepmother who now has Kate's respect and friendship. Iceman and Pyro are fun. Bishop is surly as usual but isn't so obsessively bleak. And Sebastian Shaw is as much an evil, manipulative villain as ever. The stories are fun, with multiple plot threads, establishing a number of threats that the Marauders will eventually have to face.

Regarding the art, it's consistently strong and appealing. And, though there are multiple different artists over the course of this book, their styles are harmonious so there's no jarring shift of drawing styles from one issue to the next.

So, if you're interested in dipping your toe into the Dawn X era of the X-Men this is probably one the easiest books to start with (though reading House of X and Powers of X is also totally worth it and it lays out the new status quo perfectly).

Mutants at Sea (Review #492)

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

I didn't get around to reading this series when Dawn of X first launched but thanks to a Kindle sale on this, the first volume, I've come back to it. After being seemingly rejected by the Island of Krakoa (not the nation itself), Kate Pryde (formerly Kitty Pryde) finds a new calling rescuing fellow mutants from countries that have refused to recognize the young nation. While in the background, the infamous Hellfire Club plays a dangerous game with Kate and her crew caught in the middle. I really liked Gerry Duggan's writing on Guardians of the Galaxy (2017) previously and frankly, this book is a lot of fun too. That being said, I can't really think of any specific things to say about it. The internal political maneuvering within the Hellfire Club is exciting and all the characters are written accurately to my knowledge. As far as the art, there are around seven or so artists listed and though the overall look of the volume is solid I can't tell any of the work apart. I honestly liked this book a lot and I expect I'll be getting to volume 2 soon.
4/5

Lo mejor de Dawn of X

Reviewed in Mexico on September 4, 2020

Sin duda Marauders es el mejor título de Dawn of X.... La historia es fresca, fluida, con personajes que conoces de años y a los que quieres mucho. El arte es bueno sin ser excelente, pero si a corde a la historia que te cuentan. Me gustó mucho, el tomo llegó en perfectas condiciones
