If you haven't been reading Uncanny X-Men don't get this issue. The next issue starts up a new arc and I think you'd be better off starting there. Read Full Review

"Uncanny X-Men" hasn't been a book that has worked for me as much as I would have liked over the last year, considering how much I like both the characters and Kieron Gillen as a writer, but reading this issue makes me realize that my issue has mostly been with the art.

So another arc comes to a close, and with only three issues of the series left, it's safe to say that Gillen has a lot of work to do to wrap up all of the plotlines he has created, as well as having some repercussions from the crossover event to sort out as well. It looks as though Cyclops and Emma Frost will be getting the spotlight for the next few issues, but here's hoping they're as enjoyable as this last little arc has been. Read Full Review

Neat story, engaging enough, some confusing scenes... a good story with solid art.
