"THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SHI'AR EMPIRE" Part 5
The X-Men find themselves deep within Shi'Ar space and even deeper trouble. The Shi'Ar have sent their secret weapon after an unaware Marvel Girl. Meanwhile, Professor X has his hands full with a band of rogue soldiers that have their sights on him. And they are out for blood!
In the end, this issue does not one-up any of the previous issues of this arc, but its certainly not a bad read. Brubaker, through Korvuss character, muddies the outcome of this arc a bit, as Korvuss power could play a role in whether Vulcans revenge comes to fruition.

Are they going to be mean enough to tell him his hairdo is way out of date? Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #479 was Brubaker's weakest issue so far. However, the ending was well done and should provide for a very exciting issue next month.
