    It's not Austen, but it sure as heck wasn't good.

    After collecting the Uncanny X-Men for 24 years, this issue finally made me quit.  Magneto and Cyclops are written utterly out of character, the X-Men act incredibly stupidly, and the entire thing is a extremely forced Silver Age homage that makes no sense with a fight that is choreographed worse than a bad martial arts film. (And I don't mean bad as in "cheap", I mean bad as in "*BAD*").

    Until Brubaker and Fraction are replaced, I will not be buying another Uncanny X-Men.

      The title really captures my feeling considering this issue, The X-Men are somehow accepted among the normal humans in San Francisco. But there are some incidents with a particular form of art...  It was an oversized issue but there was not much story in it. I think the "story" could have been told in less pages. Really, I don´t want to see the X-Men joining a party and drinking alcohol for four pages or so. Nothing really happens until the end of the issue and then it happens at a speed...damn!...
