Uncanny X-Men #15 sets up an interesting idea when the Outliers visit Purgatory to heed the call of an ancient entity. Gail Simone's script is packed with potential, but the shoddy setup sticks out like a sore thumb. Fortunately, David Marquez's artwork makes the journey worth taking. Read Full Review
Aside from the usual hints of woke nonsense (I really don't like the inflationary use of the word "bigotry" as a catch all word for anything inconvenient or challenging), this was another surprisingly great read. I think I even noticed some Claremontian magic - the costume transformations, but also some thoughtful character dynamics. Uncanny X-Men is slowly becoming my favorite X-title (which, to be fair, isn't hard, since X-Factor and X-Force have been cancelled and everything else with an X on it is pretty much dogshit).
