Uncanny X-Men #4 is the perfect mix of horror and heroes. Read Full Review
Rogues showdown with Sarah Gaunt goes off with much excitement and drama in another must-read issue. Simones writing sets events off with no hesitation. Marquez, Wilson and Cowles present the dangerous battle with some incredible pages. You want a great comic to read each month? This series had better be in your pull list. Read Full Review
Marquez delivers powerful and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The character designs are amazing and I love the light tone of the backstory and how it progressively joins the darker elements of events in the present. Read Full Review
Overall, Uncanny X-Men #4 is a powerful and thought-provoking installment in the series. It showcases the strength and resilience of Rogue, while also introducing a terrifying new threat. Fans of the X-Men and those who enjoy horror-themed comics will appreciate this issue. Read Full Review
If issue #4 is anything to go by, the hope that this solid book will only get stronger remains. Read Full Review
Uncanny X-Men #4 gives readers plenty of edge-of-your-seat action when Rogue takes on the Hag. That said, Gail Simone continues to drop in plot points without setup or explanation, so many of the nuggets we receive about the Hag and Rogue's mysterious, new psychic powers come off as out-of-the-blue, confusing, and frustrating.

A bland antagonist, uninspired motivation, with dialogue that runs the gamut from mediocre to plain awful. Mix it in with subpar art, and you get a very disappointing relaunch for one of Marvels biggest franchises. Read Full Review
Plot
Rogue, with the help of Nightcrawler, gets Wolverine mortally wounded. Rogue sends Nightcrawler and Wolverine to the cabin. Sarah attacks her and a fight begins where neither holds back from hitting.
The comic includes the moment when Sarah tells Charles that she wants a child with him at all costs. Apparently years later Sarah lost her son in a storm and blames the mutants. When that storm ended, she spent two days in a swamp that gave her powers. She is, in theory, a mutant.
At the cabin, Gambit receives a call from Dr. Corina, who out of courtesy tells him that they are about to be attacked by an army and that Sarah wants to kill the young mutants they protect. The army arrives and the Uncanny X-men, inclu more
This continues to be a flawless book. Great character moments, especially with Rogue's internal dialog. The villain is very interesting, I still like the new kids even though they didn't get much to do this issue. Rogue, Gambit, Wolvie, Nightcrawler all were written excellently and their personalities shone through. Great art as well, Marquez is a fantastic choice to pick up the torch left by Pepe Larraz as the new "it" X-artist. No notes on this issue, great story, great writing, great art, great cliffhanger, loving it.
I actually enjoyed this issue better than the others thus far. The fight scene with Sarah and Rogue was good. I'm not sure about the index finger and pinky in - that was weird. Not sure I liked the whole backstory for Gaunt either and I have no idea what's going on outside with the cultist. The best of these is when Simone focuses on a smaller number of characters. I remain with the opinion that introducing that whole team of teenagers was a mistake.

I like this series more than the main X-Men run. At least it is cohesive.
Some of the dialogue is spotty and doesn't flow well but this is one of the better X books. That being said, they gotta drop these prices if they're gonna keep putting out mid levelish books month after month. $3.99 is the MOST they should be charging.
