Uncanny X-Men #18

By: Gail Simone, Luciano Vecchio

If the Hellfire Gala is filet mignon, this is corn dogs and lemonade. But are all mutants okay with this attempt at bridging the gap, or are sinister forces lurking behind the ...

You won’t hear it from me. I hate the concept of alternate futures and alternate X-Men. It has been done to death. The only way I would have enjoyed this, is with a creative team capable of doing something really interesting and intelligent. It would be so easy to get the fans back. Just do one solid X-Men book featuring one of the classic eighties team rosters, either back at the mansion or on the run from mutant haters. Done.
