Cyclops and the X-Men have set out to save mutantkind...but the Mutant Liberation Front isn't going to just wait for it to happen! Led by one of the X-Men's own, the MLF is willing to do whatever it takes to stop mutant oppression...even kill any mutant who stands in their way...
Rated T+
Another fast-paced addition to the X-Men Uncanny run with some excellent developments to the story, an exciting twist, great battle sequences, and a brutal cliffhanger. Read Full Review
The art by Salvador Larroca is brilliant in both the details and the level of energy he puts into the action. Read Full Review
Hands down, the latest X-Men arc brings some of the most damaging, shocking and emotional moments since the Grant Morrison run. Read Full Review
This one got me right in the feels. The takedown of two characters, at least one of them well loved, will not be an easy pill to swallow. Denial sounds like Danielle. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #16 was the perfect reminder of what these mutants are fighting for, and a reminder of how dangerous this world can be for even them. Mutant problems have been a consistent theme so far, and I would like this think that this creative team is nailing the message sent. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #16 closes out Rosenbergs first story arc with Marvels merry mutants and so far, his writing style is great for the book. Hes able to do a lot of exposition and dramatic work without the book getting boring or wordy. Sometimes, like with Havoks nagging, it takes a while for anything to develop from it, but when it does develop, it fits wonderfully with what hes trying to do with the X-Men in this new status quo.

This issue has more great character moments, though does suffer from some clumsy pacing in the back half of the issue, which has way too much going on for its own good, even if they are all good, entertaining things in their own right. Read Full Review
The issue could have used some extra length or a weekly release. There's a lot packed in this issue and not all of it is fleshed out but then again that feels like a tradition of X-Men comics. There's a moment you just roll with it. This might be it and hopefully Rosenberg slows things down a little because there's a lot of great ideas packed in to this issue and the last that with a little more focus would make this run really stand out in the long history of X-Men comics.

An emotional issue filled with plenty of surprises, touching moments, and words. Lots and lots of words. Read Full Review
With Hickman's upcoming run looming large over the House of X, it's nice to find something, namely a thoroughly punished Scott Summers, to spend time with as a reader. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #16 was a solid issue that properly properly progresses the direction Matthew Rosenberg is taking the series. Rosenberg has a clear vision of where he is taking the X-Men and gives every character a sense of confidence that makes the team stronger. If it wasn't for a few questionable decisions, Uncanny X-Men #16 would've been a much higher rated issue. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #16 shows mutants questioning everything as the world around them grows ever more hostile. They weigh their options with insight and wisdom, which makes for enjoyable reading. The brakes on the plot fail at the end, though, burying the characters in a landslide of twists and screeching inadvertently into melodrama. This remains a decent story, but the latest revelations don't do much in its ongoing struggle to justify itself. Read Full Review
It's maybe not the home run that a lot of people are looking for due to a lackluster art team, but if you can look beyond that, I think there's a lot that works. Read Full Review
This issue may be it for me. The story was boring and convoluted and in no way has me interested in going forward anymore. It looks really good, but I think its time for me to tap out and wait until this summer to try my luck at being an X-Men fan. Read Full Review
UNCANNY X-MEN #16 isn't what it could be. Rosenberg knows the X-Men but he continues to throw way too many plotlines and random characters into each issue instead of focusing in on the cast he already has. Until Rosenberg can tell a complex story without having to add so many additional (and confusing) elements, the fate of UNCANNY will remain in question. Read Full Review
This book is hitting the right notes for me!
Another good issue.
Alas for poor Toad.
It was alright I guess but this whole thing about (SPOILERS) Cyclops steping down as leader and having the team vote on stuff instead is pointless since I'm pretty sure Cyclops is just going to somewhere down the line take over again. Also (SPOILERS) Wolfsbane dying.... who gives a fuck?
THE GOOD:
-I still love the character interactions.
-The art is great.
-The Brotherhood scenes were really good. Probably my favorite part of the issue.
-Some solid action scenes here. This comic would look great on a screen.
-I laughed out loud at the "I wasn't talking to you" part.
-Joseph's death was done really well. Not overplayed.
THE BAD:
-I wasn't as into this issue for some reason.
-I thought they used Captain America in a really boring and uninteresting way here.
-The reveal with Magneto was a pretty neat idea, it just felt kinda forced the way they executed it.
-The last two pages were sloppy and confus more
Once again, every issue has to be some huge big thing. Joseph killed. Rahne, who shouldn’t have long hair, dead. Come on. A good series now is just one big death or change to the X-Men? Lame writing.
