So I started picking up Uncanny X-Men along with my monthly G.I. Joe Fix. I started off Issue 506 of Uncanny X-Men. It was nice to see other X members without the main story revolving around Wolverine.
Anyway I just got done reading 508 and 509 and I wanted to give props out to Land and Matt Fraction. I have never herd of these cats but you have picked up a reader. THE STORY: The X-Men get up to the delicate art of living as the Sisterhood plan their imminent demise. The Science Team gets to work, trying very hard not to kill one another first. Simon Trask gains traction in the California state legislature, muscling PROPOSITION X to an emergency ballot vote. If it passes, mutants past and present, powered and otherwise, won't be allowed to breed... all this and a friend returns as a foe and ready for murder. Oh, things are getting ugly.

Fran, X-Men is great. I am working on a full run and this has to be my fav book besides Joe of course. If you want, I can recommend other story arks that kick some serious booty

Man I've been out of the loop with X books for a while. I think the last arcs I read were Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire, and something else. I stopped reading Wolverine Origins when Daken, son of Wolverine was introduced. I thought that was the most cliche thing to add, and I was afraid it was going to happen, then it actually did. Eh...
Rise of Shi'ar was pretty good, especially if you are a fan of the Summers family, Havok, Cyclops and Crusader are in it. |

The X-Men series has been pretty good as of late. I've read every issue for two years now. This current ark has been building up for a while. I hope that something big is gonna go down soon. The Messiah War has been pretty good so far as well. I would recommend picking those up.

What I loved about the Xbooks these past few years is the increased involvement of Havok. Truth be told, I don't like Cyclops all that much, he is a hypocritical, stuck up dick in my opinion, whereas his brother Havok is far more humbled and respectable. I'm glad he lead the team on some occasions, in the Uncanny books.

That's Psylocke on the cover. Is she back in things now? I heard somewhere that she died or something. Nice to see a fave of mine on the cover again!
