Review: Uncanny X-Men #20

Now this is how you end a comic who only got a paltry twenty issue run.

Sure, it’s mostly just talking which is what was in X-Men Legacy #275, but the content was the important part. Tied up, somewhat, are the loose ends regarding Danger and the Rasputin’s, both story lines left to be picked up later at Marvel’s leisure. As for Cyclops…

Damn. I knew it.

You can’t kill Sinister, he’s just too cool. And this issue proved that point to a T.

This very much felt like a sweeps episode, an ending which leaves so much open and you’re a-okay with that because you want to see what happens next, it’s just too cool to simply tie up with a bow. It also leaves open a plot for Cyclops to take on later if he ever gets out of jail… we’ll have to see what happens in Consequences and All-New X-Men.

Yes, I do like this. Perhaps if the series had gone on for longer it would have been more annoying to have it so open-ended, but this definitely worked for Uncanny X-Men. I can’t wait to see more Sinister in the future!

Review: Uncanny X-Men #19

Aka, yes, Scott Summers has officially gone insane.

Not a single doubt about it…

The only question is when did he actually start loosing it? Was it when he gained the powers of the Phoenix, was it after House of M, was it when he started to cheat on his wife (either of them), when he lost Jean Grey (either time), or perhaps does it go all the way back to the death of his family?

I really don’t know…

And Scott proves that he’s gone absolutely mad while Illyana admits it outright.

Illyana pretty much says in so many words that she’s gone insane, apparently been like that for a while now and purposely messed up Piotr’s life in order to prove this to him. Ah, what are siblings for?

As for Scott, yeah, I’ve feared for his mental stability since, well, before Schism and this just puts it all into perspective. Dude, if people are comparing you to Magneto, then you might want to step back and rethink what you’re doing. Though I have to admit, I do like Scott’s retort. “I’m nothing like you, I’m winning!”

This is the kind of actions that can only end in bloodshed, and if you know what happens in AvX #11 then you see my point.

Scott’s downfall is becoming both poignant and annoying. He’s a man who’s had the weight of an entire people on his shoulders and has gone through so much pain and suffering, both personal and on a global mutant scale, that he’s simply become lost in the woods. On the other hand, he’s being so tediously ripped to shreds that one has to wonder if someone just has it in for Scott or in a bad fan fic move he’s being drug down to build someone else up?

As for Emma, she continues to prove my point that she’s a great bad guy… but a horrible good guy. Though honestly, Scott, you kinda deserve it, her cheating on you with Namor cause, you know, you cheated on Jean with Emma… once a cheater, always a cheater.
