From Space Gods to This? 2
The Good: At least the artwork was cool.The Bad: It just felt like a pointless issue. It answered a question that really didn't change the impact of the story or probably a question that no one really cared about. It just answered where Sinister got the ability to make a hive-mind. It didn't even have the X-men in it til the second half and it didn't do anything to progress the story either nor do I see much being built off this.Better than the previous?: No.Recommended: It can be passed on. If ...

It is oddly sympathetic to the Phalanx’s plight, disrega...

This issue had the feel of a one-shot and that was a great break from the non-stop action that's been going on in Uncanny X-Men since at least May of 2011. I thought it worked rather well as a sci-fi horror issue and that was also fun to see in an X-Men title. While I read X-Men for the near-soap operatic atmosphere, it is nice to have a change now and again. The story also explains where Mr Sinister got his powers, but that's almost an afterthought to the rest of the story. I enjoyed it so much...
