UNCANNY X-MEN #17 slows the series' feverish pace way down and gives readers a closer look at Wolverine. Because Cyclops has been the star of UNCANNY, Wolverine hasn't had as much time in the spotlight, so Rosenberg's decision to give him a few scenes to himself was a good choice. The change in art also adds to the issue, making it one of the better ones in the series thus far. Still, this is Rahne's issue, and the lack of focus on the New Mutants is a little concerning.

A lot to take in and some considerable bending of characters, though not impossible maybe a little improbable. Read Full Review

The melodrama that creeps in is understandable but feels cheap compared to what is at the core of the story. Still, this a standout issue of what has already been a stellar run. Read Full Review

The issue is a good one delivering a cathartic release to the tension that's been building since Rosenberg's run began. There's a lot he's packing in and this issue focuses on the two visions of Wolverine and Cyclops and how each sees the X-Men and its legacy. Then, like solid X-Men writing we get the twist a the end to take us on their next adventure. Read Full Review

So far, the "This is Forever" storyline stands as one of the more compelling mutant arcs of recent years. Scheduled to end just as the recently announced Jonathan Hickman mini-series Powers of X and Houses of X debuts in July , Uncanny X-Men may only be the beginning of a banner year for mutant-dom.

An emotional issue that will sneak up on you. It may seem like it's following all the tropes, but it still packs a punch. Read Full Review

Uncanny X-Men #17 puts a real-world spin on Rahnes murder, and it fits very well. Its not the evil plan of some mutant mastermind or a government-sponsored hit (although something like that sort of happens in the book), its just a symptom of the hatred and bigotry of the world. After six very Cyclops centric issues, this one focuses on Logan and his own guilt over another death on his watch, one he feels in part responsible for. Unfortunately, this art doesnt fit the caliber of the script. Its blandness hurts what could have a stellar issue of Uncanny X-Men. It doesnt kill the chapter, but this issue could have been so much more potent if the art was better. Read Full Review

We see Scott giving a speech at the funeral as he is the first of few as Logan tracks down who killed Wolfsbane. While at the funeral, Scott, Jamie, Moonstar, and Illyana takes turns mourning and giving a speech to everyone who attended the funeral. And one thing I have got to say, these Stan's Soapbox pages are getting quite annoying, give respect to the guy but the page feels at this point like an advertise page. Read Full Review

The comic will likely be remembered for Wolverine in a suit, the end of Cyclops and Wolverine's short bromance, and the flashback of Wolfsbane's assault and murder by a pretentious douchebag group whose unwanted advances scare her into showing her mutant abilities and whose mutant abilities push the bigots into horrific violence. The entire scene is seedy, and Wolverine's eye-for-eye justice certainly doesn't seem to sit well with the legacy of the main X-Men title. Having it interrupted, and take place entirely outside of the events shown, comes off as cheap and gutless as well by a creative team that isn't willing to own all the questionable decisions made here. Pass. Read Full Review

Up until now the art has been what's primarily held Rosenberg's run back from achieving its true potential, though in the case of this issue specifically, the greater fault it with the swing-and-a-miss major story decision, one where the implications appear to have not been properly considered.

A funeral, a fight scene and some truly leaden dialogue make for a forgettable issue, albeit one with a last page reveal that seems interesting. Read Full Review

From beginning to end Uncanny X-Men #17 was horrible. Matthew Rosenberg completely failed the X-Men franchise with his choices and writing throughout this issue. That is incredibly disappointing to say because before this Rosenberg established an interesting new direction for Uncanny X-Men. All that potential is thrown away in favor of more death and X-Men infighting. Read Full Review

I wanna see where this go ! FOr gods sake Marvel stop rebooting the damn book !

The grief and sadness and frustration felt so real, a very good issue.

Really enjoyed this issue! It doesn't let up with how terrible it is to be a mutant, which is really what this run is all about.

Rosenberg continues doing a good job. Let's see where goes this.

THE GOOD:

-Matthew Rosenberg is a great writer. I really enjoy this series.

-All of the characters here were really well-written. Logan was a standout for me.

-The emotion here hit really hard. Well-done.

-Not sure what that ending means, but I'm super excited to find out.

THE BAD:

-Would have preferred to see more Salvador Larroca. Carlos Gomez just doesn't do a super great job.

I enjoy this for the most part but the whole Logan vs Scott thing is old and boring. Killing characters is a great way to get an initial shock but we all know that it isn't going to last so it makes this story lose some of the meaning. It's a not a bad story but it's terribly unoriginal and takes a New Mutant off the table for no real reason. I wish DC and Marvel would focus more on good storytelling and less on shock value.

I appreciate the art shift; Mr. Gómez suits my personal taste better than Mr. Larroca.

This issue is just kind of bad. The art is bad which actually makes Larroca's art look above average. The story is kind of boring and predictable. Hopefully it gets better next issue.

(SPOILER) There is this scene that didn't make much sense because why not show Logan the memory of Wolfbane getting killed like a bitch before entering the house before he kills everyone? Also why not just show Logan kill everyone?

It’s pointless to say how badly conceived this death was, because death in the X-Men universe long ago lost any significance. But even so, it was a bad story badly told.

I've really liked Rosenburg's run so far but this issue was pointless. It's like a filler issue but with a completely meaningless death.

It makes no sense that Rahne wouldn't defend herself. It's also inconceivable that a group of gendarmes would get the drop on Wolverine and Kwannon.
