The worst part of this issue for me was Gaunt, such a lame cliche villain that added nothing worthwhile.

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Oct 18, 2024Uncanny 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.

Comic Watch - B. Radtz
Oct 17, 2024A 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

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.

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, including the teenagers, more

I love the cover, also I really just enjoy the Rogue dialogue and seeing her in action. The art for me is great and really matches with Rogue. Not that crazy about the whole Sarah Gaunt villain, comes off way too cliche and shallow to me. So I really just like this Uncanny series for the dynamics between Gambit and Rogue though the comic has not made clear why she is able to be with a man without accidentally killing him? I'm sure this was on another run but for someone just jumping in familiar with Rogue this will break the moment without explanation.

I like this series more than the main X-Men run. At least it is cohesive.

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. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/Bl0STu35_74

Man, Marquez is really killing it. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the story and this is one of top X-books currently overall, but Marquez's art is just so gorgeous. He absolutely nails it on each and every page. I'm really nervous for Javier Garrón to fill in on the next issue. From what I remember, Garrón's style is a bit different than Marquez's and I don't remember being the absolute biggest fan of it. Hopefully my doubts are for nothing.

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.
