    The Uncanny X-Men comics are some of the ones I look most forward to coming out in the From The Ashes era, and for good reason. The creative team has done an excellent job with these characters and I can't wait to read the next one. Read Full Review

    Overall, Uncanny X-Men #5 is a satisfying conclusion to the “Red Wave” arc. The issue delivers on the promise of a high-stakes battle and a shocking revelation. While the pacing can be a bit uneven at times, the strong character work and stunning artwork make it a worthwhile read. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Lia Williamson Nov 14, 2024

    Issue #5 of Gail Simone and David Marquez's Uncanny X-Menpicks up right where issue #4 left off and concludes the "red wave" storyline of the book.

    Comic Watch - Matt Meyer Nov 14, 2024

    Uncanny X-Men #5 brings the first arc to a close not with a bang, but with an "Oh. Okay." The plot gets tripped up trying to give everyone equal page time, and the net result is less than the sum of their whole. Fortunately, the beautiful art prevents it from being a total wash.

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Nov 15, 2024

    Uncanny X-Men #5 concludes the Red Wave arc with a rousing battle on two fronts. Gail Simone impressively mixes gritty action with strong emotional beats for an emotionally weighty issue, and the art team's delivery is first-rate. That said, the conclusion leaves too many unexplained plot points dangling for a sloppy, frustrating conclusion. Read Full Review
