  1. Three good stories or three pointless throwaway stories, hmm??…I’m definitely checking this out, though.

  2. Is there a Runaways story in here?

  3. That looks like a very deceptive cover. I wonder how many people grab it without looking carefull, assuming it is an issue of Uncanny X-men? Still, I have been enjoying the X-short stores, so may give this a shot.

  4. I have a bad feeling about this…

  5. Could be filler but Fraction’s writing it and there’s good art. what to do….

  6. no runaways here 🙁 i was gonna get it just for that

  7. @Peterporker…Really, no Runaways?  Why would we get Molly on the cover if she’s not in it?

  8. x-men anthology!

  9. @peterporker

    Thanks for that. A little annoyed Marvel teased us

  10. But wait!  It’s McKelvie!!!!

  11. Yeah picking this up. McKelvie son!

  12. @TexasZombie99 & @whirlwindx: I agree this could go either way. I’ll thumb through it at the LCS and decide whether to pick it up or not.

  13. We definitely need to see more Franklin. He made this book for me. I love it that the rest of the MU is getting integrated into the X-stories on a more regular basis.

  14. i flipped thru this and molly is in a few pages in the beast story. havnt read it yet

  15. Surprisingly good! A really nice little epilogue to Second Coming, with some great little character beats and an actual advancement of the X-Men’s new status quo. I loved this.

  16. It was not a bad story, but if Whilce Portacio is what I have to look forward to in Uncanny… then I’m done with the X-Men. His work is a disaster! 

  17. Cyclops hanging out in the Savage Land is always fun to read.

  18. This was great, it almost redeemed the end of second coming

  19. So when did Beast become a great dane?

     

  20. Really liked the stuff with Cyc and Cap. Given Scott’s issues with being a leader, who better than Steve Rogers to show him the way?

  21. Loved this. Really great.

     

    @AquaPimp82 I presume you didn’t read S.W.O.R.D?

     

  22. isnt hunting dinos a big no no in the savage land? i bet kazar do like that shit

  23. Whats Steve gonna do when he finds out about X-Force?  This could be Awesome!!!!!

  24. How Stoopid- Yes two O’s  is Cyclcops shooting Dinosaurs for sport??

    Come on _ As an Obvious metaphor- it’s pandering and fails.

    As any attempt at understanding the character it FAILS.

    Fraction- Needs a vacation.

  25. Ignoring the killing of dinosaurs to relax,  I thought this was a surprisingly solid epilogue to Second Coming. Odd that it wasn’t marketed that way. No, Marvel needed more places to slap that atrocious Heroic Age banner. Guaranteed to make every book it appears on ugly.
