One-Line Reviews for Recent Marvel Comics Publications (all mutant-based)

UNCANNY X-FORCE 27
9/10

Rick Remender almost seems to enjoy killing characters in his charge, and this corner of the Marvel Universe folds around the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the consequences of preemptive vengeance ... it's a shame about Fantomex, but Phil Noto's solid art structure carries the content well.

UNCANNY X-MEN 16

9/10

The Phoenix Five confront Mr. Sinister's clone nation... the mining of older and newer storylines is delivered by writer Kieron Gillen and penciler Daniel Acuna, whose respective methods of approach compliment each other, and have made recent issues of Uncanny X-Men a surprising treat.

ULTIMATE COMICS X-MEN 14
8/10

The use of a situation report for the Ultimate United States really helps these days.

Brian Wood and the rest of the Ultimates writers seem to be having a blast reformatting the Ultimate Universe into a true alternative to the standard 616 format, and this issue carries that theme right along, with art provided by Paco Medina, Reilly Brown, Juan Vlasco, and Terry Pallot, depicting the slow start of Kitty Pride's underground mutant revolution.
