    In the end, this issue does not one-up any of the previous issues of this arc, but its certainly not a bad read.

Heres hoping were not waiting too long to find out. Read Full Review

    But meanwhile the Professor has been kidnapped, by rogues who steal Korvus ship.

    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. I still have faith in Brubaker and Tan to deliver a quality product on this title. Regardless, Brubaker's Uncanny X-Men is still the best this title has been in a long time. Read Full Review
