Jun 03, 2026I’m not usually a big What If…? fan, but this top tier storytelling. What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1 was an emotional roller coaster ride that you don’t want to get off of. Read Full Review

Jun 03, 2026What If...? Uncanny X-Men #1 delivers exactly what a good alternate-reality story should: a familiar choice that sends history down an unexpected path. Duggan uses the premise to explore Cyclops from a deeply personal angle, examining what happens when he prioritizes family over the X-Men. While some ideas, particularly the House of X concept, feel worthy of a larger story, the issue remains engaging throughout thanks to its emotional core and impressive visual storytelling. Fans looking for a thoughtful Cyclops story with plenty of mutant history packed into its pages will find a lot to enjoy here. Read Full Review

Definitely a bit of a downer, but an interesting enough chain of events. Enough cool stuff that you would like to see more of.
