PUGILISM!?!? sweet
Wow, whatta great cover, Fraction is so on and off with me, mostly off with his Thor and Iron Man (except #500 was good), but have been really enjoying this.
If that skank ends up cheating on scott, I’m gonna be pissed. I hope she gets a face full of crimson concussive blast! (but nvm because she probably won’t)
Dropped this book after last issue. Is it just me or does Fraction continue to ride Morrison’s new x-men coat-tails on this book? Simultaneously repeating Morrison’s sentinal virus, Sublime corp, and Emma’s background story lines.
@TheTaken, yea he seems to be recycling Morrion’s ideas except Morrison did them a million times better and with much better artists.
I picked this issue off the racks today and said to myself:
“WHY the hell am I still buying this? The art has been the most abysmal thing since the art in the X-Factor Secret Invasion issues, and the story has been the most lackluster one out of all the X-stories. Am I that pathetic in that I’m buying this solely for the fact that it was ONCE good?”
Reading this series is like seeing a rock act that was popular 20-30 years ago who looks terrible on stage now. Sure, they play all the hits, but seeing their drug-whether faces and lack of entusiasm just makes you pity them.
Kieron Gillan can’t fully take over this title soon enough.
@franktiger I feel complete opposite of you. I love his Iron Man and blah about this. Hopefully Kieron will be good for this book.
I know I just said this book was blah but I loved this issue. Even Land’s art didn’t bother me too much.
Regardless of the morrison stir-up i still like this arc. It gets slow at times but it may actually be emma’s stories that save it. I can’t really tell. Anyway, I liked this issue much better than i have been. It’s been a good week. Only the Magneto one-shot REALLY disappointed me.
Now THAT’S the kind of cover that makes you embarrassed to read comics on the bus!
I have to wonder if it was Fraction or Gillen who thought to refer to Facebook as the “Good Book”. I just feel the need to know who to credit the genius to.
solid issue all around
Love it. The moment I could tell that Gillen’s involved? When Pixie, for the first time in forever, actually starts sounding Welsh. “Tidy!”
I like the basic ideas they are working with I just can’t get into it. I think mostly my problem is the substitute X-team we are following I could not care less about with the exception of Angel and I prefer the X-force version of him lately. As far as the art I have no problem with Land, personally I prefer his work over what Romita has been doing in Avengers.
Did anyone else think the box captions were way too cutesy?
Danger’s got a nice ass.
Is anyone else amazed that Fraction’s kept up these intro boxes with the witty descriptions for like 3 years now? The only thing consistent about them is their un-funny’ness. Please let Gillen be good

@comicBOOKchris I feel exactly the same way. The last time I dropped Unc. X-Men was when I was in college, but that was for purely financial reasons. (Sadly enough I still haven’t been able to find all the issues to fill in that gap)
But I do think about dropping the book again almost every month.
