    I don’t care what anyone says, I’m loving this book.

  2. JimBilly4 JimBilly4 says:

    @USPUNX Wow. Um, then I probably shouldn’t read you this letter I just received from the Desk of God. No, if you don’t care, you don’t care… Ok, I will say that the stationary it is written on is AMAZING. Holding it is like clutching a choir of angels in your hand. But I’ll keep the rest of it to myself.

    Fine. Yes. Land has been sent here to test the faithful. But that is all I am gonna say.

  3. USPUNX USPUNX says:

    I have no idea what you just said. But I’m pretty sure it was snarky. 

  4. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    Last issue was the weakest of this series after parts 1 and 2 had me invested in this arc, but I don’t care what anyone says either, Greg Land is the sh!t.

  5. Almost done…this subpar run and horrendous artist is almost done…

  6. this arc has been great and that cover really pops

  7. i like the mutant flu stories but i’ve really just been sticking around to see what happens with Shaw. Man i love Shaw. The panel where he gets dropped out of a plane gave me chills.

  8. Diabhol Diabhol says:

    @USPUNX

    Agreed. This book has been consistantly great in writing and art.

  9. skeets skeets says:

    waiting for solo gillen

  10. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    People must be reading Uncanny X-Men from a parallel dimension because the book I’m reading has terrible writing and art.

  11. rockingeek rockingeek says:

    Yeah, Land is shit! And I can’t wait for Fraction to get off this book.

  12. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    Usually what will get me to buy and read a comic is because I like the art.  Sometimes when I think the writing is bad, the art will be good enough for me to keep buying the book, but sometimes I won’t buy a book if I think the writing is so bad despite liking the art, and only very rarely will I buy a comic for the story if I don’t like the art, so it is beyond me why some people would read a comic when they think both the art and writing are bad.

  13. rockingeek rockingeek says:

    For me, I buy this book for the title only. I will always buy Uncanny, no matter what. Its the only comic that I must buy, even if its suck. So if it sucks, I need to say it if I want it to change.

  14. They will only change it if you stop buying it.

  15. USPUNX USPUNX says:

    @rockingeek: agreed. this is probably the only book I will buy regardless of creative team or quality. Has been a weakness for me since I was 12…

  16. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    Land’s work is just as good as it has always been, but I don’t know, the action in this seemed unoriginal, predictable, and not very exciting or entertaining really.  I’ve pretty much always been a hard critic of Fraction’s writing, but since this arc started, it had gained momentum with me, but that is now officially lost after the last two issues.

  17. Diabhol Diabhol says:

    My *only* beef with this issue is that they didn’t identify the villains well.

  18. mikeandzod21 mikeandzod21 says:

    I miss three dimensional characterization. This was crap.

  19. cubman987 cubman987 says:

    I’m actually rather liking this story, but the art is just painful at times.

  20. JimBilly4 JimBilly4 says:

    I think secretly, all the women in the X-Universe ARE the same woman. And that is why Land draws them all looking the same. It’s genius!

    Oh, and that woman is a total slut whore.
