What are some things we want to see in Uncanny X-Men…and some things we don’t?
Uncanny X-Men has been amazing from issue No. 1. Matthew Rosenberg, Kelly Thompson, and Ed Brisson started this series and told a tale that had a tragic ending. The X-Men disappeared, and the world went back to openly being prejudice against mutants, going as far as to get rid of the X-Gene in kids. Matt Rosenberg took over and made the series even more compelling. We find out in Uncanny X-Men No. 12 that the O*N*E* locked up mutants and even experimented on them. Things are definitely going to get worse before they get better, but that just means fun content for readers.
The X-Men are in unfamiliar territory. They’ve been completely taken off the board by X-Man, Cyclops is still the dealing with the chaos he caused before he died, and he and Logan just got back from the dead. However, this new territory means that things can be done differently. Some mistakes from the past won’t be repeated, and some things will continue. Here are some do’s and don’ts for the Uncanny X-Men series.
