    Good but meh

    Alright, this is a good issue but don't get me wrong: Good for Fraction with the X-Men. Fraction is not the best at writing them. He does not capture the character's fully IMO and he did not pace it correctly. Also, the art felt too cartoony for the X-Men. The X-comics to me should have emotional provoking artists who depict them as close to real as possible. 
     
    The Good 
    Good storyline 
    Has some good action sequences 
    Brings out Hope's feminine side 
     
    The Bad 
    Too cartoony 
    Not paced right with writing 
    Character's do not feel like themselves 
     
    Overall 
    A good issue, not the worst or best. Could have been a phenomenal one if with different artist or writer. Learn about the X-Force and that impacts the team as well as delving into Hope's personality and her relationship with Cable. Nothing much happens besides those two things. A good issue but not a must have.

      SC: Chapter Two...Revalations 0

      Uncanny X-Men 523 This is the second chapter in the current X-event, Second Coming.   It picks up pretty much where the Second Coming one-shot left off.   Which was with Nightcrawler and the other non X-Force members of Cyclops’ Alpha team realize that there has been something more sinister going on.     Kurt has some questions that need to be answered after witnessing first-hand the dual-membership X-Men dispatch Cable and Hope’s assailants.   With X-Men mission status quo telepathic links, K...
