The current volume of Uncanny X-Men is a crown jewel of the new X-Men era, playing successfully with both established characters, effectively maintaining the long history of the new teenage team. Doing both well in one book is an impressive feat. Previous teen books like the new Mutants and Generation X have fully established fresh characters and relationships without juggling fan favorite characters such as Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine.
Amazing
Certainly there are a few waffles. Writer Gale Simone and artist David Marquez are smart enough to change focus – the issue of Gambit here, the problem of the night crawlers there, never loses the focus of the double aspect of the book completely.
The latest storyline, Dark Artery, was a story that focused primarily on teens (with a bit of gambit compared to the dragon detour). Our new cast has been drawn into centuries-old nightmares and established the history of Haven House, the current hangout for two teams.
It features a mysterious and repeating guest spot in nature and for my beloved ones. Question #15 makes more suggestions than providing answers to a bigger mystery. There is very little obvious leaving us on solid ground. The looming supernatural Big Bad is given a name (Schwarak), but invisible. It is said that someone must take her place as a watchman for repentance in this dead prison. And the lead candidate is Death Dream, a creep of the team’s resident (of course).
Amazing
The underlying story plays in the Muternity timeline. Havenhouse was a shelter for separatist South mutants, and established a much more active history of the mutants. Mutant genes were rarely idle. Mutants should have kept secrets.
Amazing
Despite all this heavy teen action, supernatural malakey and historical foundation, the adult team is given a solid moment of their own as they rush straight ahead after their students. The balance between Simone and Marquez is maintained. The book deals with many characters, but few have been forgotten.
No matter how many big conceptual swings are needed, the creepy X-Men feels like one of the most grounded X-Books on the stand. It knows what it wants to do and it wastes a little time to get to the point. Chaos is expected, but one (thankfully) is wrong.
