Mister X: Razed #1 Review Roundup

Visionary creator Dean Motter returns with a new masterpiece of retrofuturism! Radiant City is a metropolis as mysterious as its alleged creator—Mister X. What should’ve improved the city left it cursed. Now, Mister X must watch over the City of Dreams turned City of Nightmares, keeping vigil during a holiday season that’s anything but jolly.

"Orson Welles once said that an audience hardly remembers a lead character, but if those lead characters keep discussing a character that never makes an appearance until the few minutes before the first act break, the audience will say that actor who simply walked across the stage before curtain is the greatest actor that they have ever seen. It's all because of making a dramatic cross. That is the best possible analogy for how good Mister X: Razed #1 is. The titular character makes only a handful of appearances but still makes an impact, even if he isn't a fully active participant in the stories detailed. Dean Motter makes the most of this reintroduction of Radiant City and its citizens by side-lining the main character and allowing the design and noir sensibilities to take center stage all contained in a beautiful Art Deco package. Mister X is back and Dark Horse Comics is all the better for it.” - Newsarama

"Fans of not only good science fiction, but great storytelling, well-rounded main characters and strong support characters would do well not to pass up Mister X. You never know when an opportunity to own a true classic, even a reissue, will present itself again.” - Comic Crusaders

"Mister X: Razed offers a great new start, to a beloved character. Go grab this thing today.” - Unleash the Fanboy

"If you don't mind reading a Christmas/Hanukkah tale a little off-season certainly pick up Mister X: Razed and give this series a shot. While you won't get a full picture of Mister X from this issue alone it's a nice introduction to Dean Motter's storytelling and art style. If you like it you can always pick up the Mister X archives from Dark Horse. I recommend his work in general and this is as good of a starting point as any.” -Rhymes With Geek

“If crime noir is your genre then this is the comic for you.” - Big Comic Page

"After thirty years, Motter's franchise hasn't lost any of its edge and his storytelling excellence from past generations is worthy of being recognized by the current one.”—Comic Book Resources
