    An End and New Motivation

    I felt this was a pretty good but not great final issue, but in the wake of AvX and MarvelNow! it a fairly good send off for Cyclops' Extension team. There are some good moments here an some resolutions to some plot lines as well. Also there is just a hint of more to come in the future. 
     
    Perhaps my favorite part of this issue was Illiana finally beating the idea into Peters head that she is not the little weak and innocent little snowflake that he remembers from his childhood and that she is capable of manipulating him and making him do horrible things just to teach him a lesson. The Danger and Unit scens was a but underwhelming but was Ok. The scene with Cyclops and Katie Kildare his PR agent was interesting to say the least for and could new source of motivation for Cyclops going forward.
     
    The issue does a pretty good job af wraping up several plot issues but at the same time lays the groundwork for for new storylines going forward. Kierion Gillen does a fine job here wraping up what he could though I do think he thought he would have more time to spin his web more but was derailed bu the AvX event. Carlos Pacheco's art is good and I really liked his depiction of Magik as a powerful manipulator. As I said this is a good concluding issue picking what scraps were left over from the AvX conclusion. 
     
    Overall I would rate this issue a 3.5 out of 5.

      WHAT A TWIST! 0

      The GoodKieron Gillen does a great job of tying up loose ends in this issue the one of which was with Magik and Colossus which was a good ending for the current relationship they have going (not a great one) it ends the Colossus situation that Gillen has had going since the prevous Uncanny series. But what makes this scene great is Magik it shows how mad she is and how she has been playing with Colossus. There is also a scene between Cyclops Kate Kildare with the biggest twist you could imagine ...

      The End 0

      Overview: Last issue of Uncanny X-men as we prepare for Marvel now!The Good: It wrapped up a couple of plot lines that would of other wise been left hanging and showed what several of the "extinction" team had been up too since the end of AVX, i was glad to see it touch on Danger who had all but been forgotten during AvX, and the interaction with Scott and his "visitor" was entertaining.The Bad: It's the end!! I have lived my entire life knowing that there would be an issue of Uncanny X men to p...
