During the changing relations between mutants and the city of New Orleans, two of the best guns for hire come to town with a mission in mind, and their target for that mission is an X-MAN! DEADPOOL and OUTLAW guest-star in this dangerous tale of MAYHEM vs. MUTANT! Also, an Outlier gets ARRESTED? Nightcrawler gets the wrong BEER? All this and more in our wildest issue yet!
Uncanny X-Men #19 is a throwback in the best possible way. Simone sets up multiple plot points for the future (and also slyly talks about the X-Men fandom), and that's before we even get to the Uncanny Village (you really need to read this one, folks). This is character based storytelling at its finest, and that's all there is to it. Simone and Marquez are nailing it with every issue, and that's really all there is to it. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men Issue 19 is a delightful read. It's an issue that builds strength and confidence in its characters, granting them the freedom to stand on their own feet. Read Full Review
Another day, another banger of a comic from Gail Simone. Read Full Review
Marquez delivers stunning art throughout the issue with some beautifully detailed pages and panels filled with great action, character designs and visual thrills. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #19 is a warm, emotionally resonant, and quietly ambitious chapter that balances humor, heart, and mutant mayhem. Simone continues to prove she understands not just how the X-Men fight, but how they live and love, making even the quieter moments sing. While a few narrative shortcuts keep it from perfection, this issue is a satisfying and meaningful installment that honors the past while nudging the story forward. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #19 is a charming revisitation of the “From the Ashes” era's first true story. The focus on Jubilee is a welcome change, and the ending is satisfying and heartwarming. Read Full Review
First and foremost, Uncanny X-Men #19 is a fun comic book. There is a clear vision of how every issue of this series is progressing this X-Men team. Most importantly, that is all done by making sure the cast is all given development time. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #19 is a lot of talk and very little meaningful action. The plot moves at a snail's pace, and the few moments of action that happen feel pointless. The writing quality is shaky, and the art is inconsistent, especially in the action scenes. Read Full Review
Another brilliant issue. Great writing, good art, loving the direction this book is going. So many great little details all tied together by an interesting story. Deadpool's presence was completely unnecessary but also totally entertaining. Deathdream flipping out because Deadpool hurt his doggie was epic. Loved it all.
love the art !
Fight back.
Death dream is the only reason I haven’t dropped this. Simone needs to give X to someone who actually wants to do x storiies.
This was a weird one. The issue starts strong with a young mutant in danger and a twist I didn't see coming, plus some character development for Ransom and Deathbed (or whatever that guy is called.) However, the story quickly turns into an illogical mess of strange explanations and even stranger character and writing decisions.
A year ago, David Marquez would have saved the issue, but his art is very inconsistent these days. I can only assume it's time issues, since he is also doing his own book at Image now, although that one isn't looking great either.
All in all, not a strong issue.
