Thankfully, the Uncanny portion of this crossover is done, as I really don’t think I could take another issue of this.  The dialogue fell flat, every move was telegraphed (do we really need to have Cyclops telling his team every little thing they need to do when watching a fight), the fight was just so-so, and I couldn’t tell what was going on because I didn’t know who some of the characters were, the last page especially.  Meanwhile, the plot thread I’m really interested in (the people imprisoned with Dark Beast) was totally ignored.  While I don’t mind looking at Terry Dodson draw women, that seems about all his art is good for anymore.  And his Stepford Cuckoo looked just like Illyana, so his figures are not distinct enough.  I’m glad I’m not a regular reader on this book because it’s just not my thing, and this is the last issue I’m going to pick up for a while.  It makes me question even getting into the Necrosha crossover later this year, despite that fact that I really like X-Force and the whole Genosha concept.  At least I’ll save some money. 

Story: 2 - Average
Art: 3 - Good
