REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #3

With Avengers vs. X-Men we saw the two teams argue and fight over whether Cyclops and his revolution were out of control. In the latest issue of Uncanny X-Men, the Avengers have stepped in to, um…argue and fight over whether Cyclops and his revolution are out of control. Is this just more of the same or something completely different? Your Major Spoilers review has the answer young mutant!

REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #2

Or – “They Say That Breaking Up Is Hard To Do…”

The fallout from Avengers Vs. X-Men has been pretty colossal, so it’s easy to forget that one of the casualties was the long-term (for X-Men, anyway) relationship between Cyclops and the White Queen.  Awkwardly, both halves of the couple are part of the Uncanny team now, and you have to know that the question will come up sooner rather than later…  What happens now?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #1

Or – “The New Bendis Era Begins!”

When Brian Bendis took the reins of the Avengers in two-thousand-whatever, he immediately got things off the ground with a bang, blowing up Avengers Mansion, killing off fan-favorites, and immediately shaking up the status quo by adding new characters to the Avengers mix.  It was a thunderbolt from the blue for an admittedly shaky franchise, and brought the Avengers back into the public consciousness for the new century.  Now, BMB is ram-rodding a new age for the X-Men franchise, including a new role for the original X-leader, Cyclops.  Will they bring ol’ One-Eye back from the depths of AVX?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

RETRO REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #183 (July 1984)

Or – “When You Boil It Down, Much Of The Marvel Universe Is About High School…”

There is a theory I’ve heard that ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ was popular not because of its supernatural overtones, but that because the series itself was a metaphor for growing up.  I’d have to say that there’s a grain of truth in that (though there are episodes where they try far too hard to hammer that point home, notably much of Season 6) but I don’t think that they’re alone in that department.  The X-Men, significantly, have gotten a lot of mileage out of using the mutants plight in a world that hates and fears them as a microcosm for any disenfranchised group of people.  Then, there are issues like this one, that are universal, dealing as it does with the end of a romance, something that the majority of people have or will eventually live through.  (Turns out it’s a bit more flashy with super-powers, though.)  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review awaits!

REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #14


The Phoenix Force has taken residence in not one, but five X-Men, promising the mutants a return to their proper place atop the evolutionary ladder.
