The end is near. As issues approach the Uncanny X-Men #600 mark that will end the series in time for Secret Wars, it looks like the spotlight has landed squarely back on Cyclops. Last issue, Scott Summers quit everything. Leaving his team in the hands of the Jean Grey School X-Men, Summers walked away from... Continue Reading →
Matthew Malloy's existence threatens all else. And so Uncanny X-Men #31 brings the X-Men to the point of no return as Malloy wipes out the entire Jean Grey School, leaving Eva Bell and Professor Charles Xavier the dubious task of retroactively removing him from the picture. Like Terminators sent to the past, Bell and Xavier... Continue Reading →
My biggest criticism of the Uncanny X-Men series thus far has been its lack of a solid narrative with defining points. The current volume started out strong as Cyclops gathered up his closest allies while being hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the other X-Men. After that, the plotting began to meander through various storylines that started... Continue Reading →
First, a few things -- one of which I should have pointed out before, but failed to include. Inside the cover in the credits, you'll see something that only recently started happening. At the bottom where the creator credits once only mentioned Stan Lee, a new name has been rightfully added. Though we don't know... Continue Reading →
Let's get into Uncanny X-Men #27 -- an issue that sees the ship righting itself with a brisker pace. We have some development, Cyclops finally stands up for himself and proves he's the man, and Matthew Malloy waves his hands around and destroys things without so much as a grunt. With S.H.I.E.L.D. monitoring the situation very... Continue Reading →
All-New X-Men #30 takes a break from the norm to develop and work on some character-to-character issues. Picking up at the swell of a whirlwind romance between Laura Kinney and Warren Worthington III after a night of clubbing and, well, clubbing (literally!), the two go through an impromptu DTR that challenges their notions of each other, especially...

The Sisterhood is growing, and Arkea Prime looked like a dominant force ready to bring the X-Men to their knees. It's been a while since a new and original villain rose to the challenge. Actually, it's been a while since any of the X-Men teams took on a classic villain. Most of them are either... Continue Reading →
In the hours before Jean Grey's trial, a lot of history is explored. Scott Summers reunites with his thought-to-be-deceased father Christopher Summers, aka Corsair leader of the Starjammers. The exchange is awkward as Scott learns about the fate of his mother and the relationship between Corsair and his present children. Interestingly enough, Vulcan's never mentioned....

The resurrection of Selene, the Black Queen is complete, and Arkea Prime is one step closer to completing her squad. Though Amora and the Yuriko side of the Ana/Yuriko combo have their doubts bringing back to life someone as dangerous as Selene, Arkea Prime must be obeyed. Meanwhile, the X-Men are onboard the yacht they... Continue Reading →
