Rosenberg is making the X-Men feel like they matter again in a way that's bigger than the Marvel universe. Read Full Review

An exciting issue that packs so much into it. There is action, suspense, and lots of emotion. This is a quintessential X-Book. Read Full Review
Keep on keeping on. This book has been pulling in the numbers and keeping people guessing from the inclusion of Team Cyke. I for one look forward to every single issue so far. Each one has delivered plenty of new and exciting twists each time out the gate. Not many titles can say that. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #15 is chock full of good stuff. Rosenberg is churning out a lot of plots and they are all interesting enough to keep readers hooked. He's a master of fitting a lot into a book but making sure it never seems bloated or slows down. Larocca's line work is good, but GURU-eFX's colors don't do his pencils any favors. All in all, this issue is another brick in the wall Rosenberg is building and it will be wonderful to see how it all stacks up. Read Full Review
Rosenberg has been mashing together some of the best of various eras of X-Men to deliver a story that's action packed and entertaining. He's putting his stamp on the X-Men status quo and history and brought the series back the excellence of what was. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #15 is a well-paced comic book. Even with how dialogue heavy this issue was Matthew Rosenberg never lost sight of the vision he set forth for this series. Cyclops, Wolverine and the X-Men all move forward in an intriguing direction. If it wasn't for the bad execution of Hope's heel turn Uncanny X-Men #15 would've been a higher rated comic book.

While certainly memorable, I have very mixed feelings on Marvel taking one of Cyclops eyes (in the design of his Age of Apocalypse alternate version). Hope, who Scott sacrificed everything to save, taking the shot certainly resonates with the characters as the X-Men attempt to prevent the Mutant Liberation Front from killing everyone's favorite anti-mutant politician. But did we really need a literal one-eyed Cyclops? Hrm… unless of course there's a mutant out there with eye-restoration powers? For fans. Read Full Review
'Uncanny' might be too strong a word... Read Full Review
This whole series has been flawless
Really good issue. I really like the art in this series.
Man, Jamie really cannot catch a break.
The action is good. I have some issues with some panels but the art as the narrative in general is ok. The interaction between Cyclops and Hope it's well writtten by Rosenberg. It's great to see how all the characters interact with each other. Definitely a solid issue.
THE GOOD:
-Still loving all of these characters and this lineup.
-Matthew Rosenberg is a great writer. And a really nice person. If you ever get the chance to meet him, you should.
-Salvador Larroca is still great. Although why does the Wolverine look like the Hulk?
-The action scenes were really well-done here.
-Hope was a great character.
-I'm still loving Dark Beast. He's great.
-I have absolutely what the hell was going on at the end there, but I'm curious to find out.
-I actually liked Cyclops losing an eye. They didn't overproduce it, despite putting it on the cover, which I appreciate.
THE BAD:
-I didn't enjoy this sto more
This still feels like a series so determined to roll around in obscure continuity that it lacks a strong central storyline (don't get me wrong, I love the obscure continuity).
I am not a fan of the art, though. Larroca does fine individual panels, but his story flow has a lot of room for improvement, and there is a perfect example in this issue. Page 8(?), last panel, Cyclops is clobbered from behind by Forearm (who was not behind him in the prior panel). Next page, Forearm is a good 20 feet in front of Cyclops. It fails as sequential art on a basic level.
Why does every issue have to be major life altering things. This time Scott loses an eye. Just tell good stories.
I like the way this story hustles right along even when Cyclops is out of action; nothing stops the bad news train.
