Excerpt
Fraction and Greg Land pack a lot into “Uncanny X-Men” #508, but not much actually happens. It’s an odd paradox where pages are filled with characters and dialogue and captions, but very little of the plot moves forward. Not every scene works that way, but enough do. But, hey, it’s still a fun read. Read More

Excerpt
Matt Fraction’s run on Uncanny X-Men so far reminds me a lot of the second season of Lost. The writers/producers weren’t exactly know how long the series would go on for, so they decided to play it safe by dragging things out a bit longer than they probably should have. If watched all at once, it was a great viewing experience, but the results weren’t quite as satisfying when being spoon-fed plot little by little with a week between each feeding. In the same way, Fraction’s Uncanny will undoubtedly be viewed in better terms in the trade-format over the single issue. Read More

This issue to me went from horrible to not good to amazing to fine over the 32 pages. A lot of page wasting was done, but I thought the Northstar part was absolute gold. For my full review with all the bitchy criticism and even some truly meant praise, check here.

In Summary: Everyone saw through Fraction’s page-wasting crap. And Land was terrible, so business as usual for him.

I have no idea what is wrong with Emma in this book, suddenly her and Colossus are very close, and she wants him everywhere with him in this, kinda scary
