Nov 04, 2026Gail Simone is setting up some stuff that I’m really excited to see play out! This was an excellent way to bring one story to a close with Graymalkin Prison while looking to what the future has in store for the X-Men. Read Full Review

Nov 04, 2026Uncanny X-Men #38 is a rewarding chapter that brings Gail Simone's long-running storylines into focus while setting up some dangerous new possibilities. Sarah Gaunt's growing influence is increasingly unsettling, especially as her four mutant protégés begin to reveal their abilities. Meanwhile, Dazzler's defiance at Graymalkin Prison delivers a satisfying moment of reckoning. Luciano Vecchio brings incredible energy to the action, with striking character designs and some genuinely disturbing imagery. Packed with consequential developments, this standout issue rewards longtime readers and offers plenty of reasons to jump back in if you're not reading already. Read Full Review

Nov 04, 2026The Scavenged make a first impression by taking down their first target! Simone ramps up the hostile view of the X-Verse with a spectacular set-up. Vecchio and Wilson deliver on huge action moments in-between the brooding drama. There’s no easy way out for Rogue and her team in this latest arc! Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Nov 04, 2026But with an issue like the latest ofThe Uncanny X-Men, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that there was actually a point at which everything in the mutant end of the Marvel universe fit together in a way that felt perfectly modular without any echoes. There were only a few series at best. There is a history that was almost intelligible whether it was in the past, the present or the future. Something happened since then. And so it's difficult to blame Simone for this. However, it really exhausting to try to keep up with everything and to feel like it isn't just an echo of a shadow of what's come before.

I really enjoyed last issue’s guest artist. Unfortunately we’re back to stiff posing and stupid manga faces this month. The writing is okay, but at this point I’m wondering if Simone is even capable of writing anything that’s not about parenting in some way.
