You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Jan 16, 2019Uncanny X-Men #9 delivers big time. This story arc has had some ups and some downs, but the creative team has righted the ship. They deliver a fast paced, action packed comic with this one, while still hitting all the right emotional spots. The Beast and Anole thing seems a bit out of place, but in the end it works toward the overall plot. As far as penultimate issues of a story arc go, this one is nearly perfect. Read Full Review

Jan 09, 2019The art by Yildiray Cinar is amazing. There are some remarkable visual moments in this issue and the action is one element that complements the pace of the story. Read Full Review

Jan 09, 2019UNCANNY X-MEN #9 lacks the big steps in plot development that previous UNCANNY issues had. Yes, X-Man gains the upper hand again but since he's mostly had the upper hand for the entire storyline that isn't much of a development. Still, there are a few golden moments throughout the issue that make this one, at the very least, an entertaining read. Read Full Review

Jan 09, 2019So It was nice to see this issue really redeem a series that has been faltering and not living up to expectations. Maybe there is hope yet for Uncanny X-Men to become a flagship title for Marvel like it was before all the Fox/ Disney mess. That being said if things continue to pick up then I do recommend staying on this roller coaster as it could very well be an pretty insane ride in the near future. Read Full Review

Jan 08, 2019UNCANNY X-MEN #9 provides plenty of satisfying superhero fights but with not much underneath outside of a handful of character moments. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Jan 09, 2019This issue has me excited to see what happens next but also has me trying not to think about it too much. There's some summer movie popcorn moments delivered but it's essentially one giant fight scene with little else. My teenage self would have loved that but the adult me wants a bit more from my reading. The ok visuals don't help matters either. While it's not a bad issue at all, a fine addition to the overall story, it also isn't one that you'll likely feel satisfied with on its own. It's a piece of the larger puzzle in which case it passes but on its own, that's a debatable grade. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Jim Werner
Jan 10, 2019This issue and series continue to be content to just move along on the ideas of so many stories before it. Everything from the art to the story to the characters come across as bland and cliched and I just want it to end so we can move on to, hopefully, bigger and better things. I know that each of the writers is capable of so much more, but maybe it's a matter of too many cooks" Read Full Review

Jan 09, 2019This story has been unfocused and detached and failing to invest readers early means the payoffs aren't paying off the way they should. Read Full Review

I thought this issue was pretty good, not much happens beyond a big fight. I've noticed a lot of hate for this series in certain fan communities and I mean, a lot of it is nitpicking. Like severe nitpicking. Anyway, this issue plays with some big themes, like generational mutants. The children and grandchildren of the X-Men have been feeling like the X-Men regard them less and less. And Legion/X-Man posits that it's because the X-Men are afraid of them. And that's the same reason Anole gives away the mutant vaccine. Fear. Also, apropos of that nitpicking I was referring to earlier... there's a large portion of fans who think Beast is being written poorly here. But I simply disagree. He flat out says that he understands why Anole did what th more

I have a perverse admiration for the "Beast created the vaccine" plot point. It's presented in a ridiculous way, but I think it's just squeezed into a too-small box by the big fighty action dominating the rest of the story. I bet one of the writers was pulling hard for the Beast thread, and s/he is probably even more upset than we are at the compressed, compromised form it's been reduced to.

Issue really only got good towards the end. For some reason Storm became a horsemen. Wish we got a reason for it. The dialogue and artwork are very good it's just the story itself is not as a big as they planned it to be. Felt like Armor had a plan with her shield but we really didn't see much of one. The cliffhanger felt like a basic cliffhanger, wish they showed way more X-men there. Best part of the issue was the reveal with Jamie!
