I don’t care what anyone says, I’m loving this book.
@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.
I have no idea what you just said. But I’m pretty sure it was snarky.
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.
Almost done…this subpar run and horrendous artist is almost done…
this arc has been great and that cover really pops
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.
@USPUNX
Agreed. This book has been consistantly great in writing and art.
waiting for solo gillen
People must be reading Uncanny X-Men from a parallel dimension because the book I’m reading has terrible writing and art.
Yeah, Land is shit! And I can’t wait for Fraction to get off this book.
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.
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.
They will only change it if you stop buying it.
@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…
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.
My *only* beef with this issue is that they didn’t identify the villains well.
I miss three dimensional characterization. This was crap.
I’m actually rather liking this story, but the art is just painful at times.
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.
