Overall, this is a very fun read. It offers a little more than many of Marvel's more padded books (which makes the cover price easier to swallow), and is overall pretty interesting. Plus, I like the characters they are using in this book. I'm an old Dazzler fan, and I always like it when a writer decides she is worth using. Decent stuff. Read Full Review

"Uncanny X-Men" is entertaining right now, although the smaller details are in many ways the ones that shine through rather than the overall big picture. Still, it's a fun enough book, and Fraction's contributions from the past three years will certainly be missed when he departs this spring. Still, Gillen's co-writing now is strong enough that I suspect we won't see much more than a hiccup when the switchover occurs. If only all creative team swaps looked to be so potentially smooth.

Focus and proper pacing are all this book really needs to get back on track. And perhaps a little more variety in the art wouldn't hurt. Greg Land is particularly bad about rendering awkward, constantly smiling facial work and reusing character poses in this issue. Perhaps the latter is justifiable when it comes to The Collective Man's five bodies. In any event, Lands' facial work really needs more variety. There's never a true sense of emotion in the story when every single female character is seemingly preening for the camera. At this point I'm left to hope that the creative shakeup in April will bring this series some much-needed focus. Read Full Review
