Uncanny X-Men (Marvel NOW!)

review 1: Brian Michael Bendis went to the David Mamet School of Character Dialogue, where you simulate real characters having real conversations just as real people would actually interact, with all their conscious and unconscious motivations compete with realistic personality traits.Add this to his penchant for developing great plots, and you have one of my favorite writers in this genre today!Chris Bachalo went to the Stay-Puft Marshmallow-Man School of Drawing Marshmallows, where they teach young artists how to break everything down into a few remedial marshmallow shapes.The stepford cuckoos all look the same (as they should) but Emma Frost also looks exactly like them and so you can't tell who is supposed to be who and it is annoying as hell! And sometimes it is hard to tell Ma... moregik from Emma Frost too, ... Ugggh!So yeah, I broke my vow to NEVER read anything that had Chris Bachalo's "art" in it, and I guess I am still gonna give this 4 stars because the story is much fun!
review 2: This is where writer Bendis made Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops, a revolutionary that approaches the legend of a Che or a Fidel. In this first arc of the Uncanny X-Men Marvel NOW! relaunch, Cyclops and his team took on the Avengers and won without lifting a finger. Cyclops further his own reputation and street cred when he out-maneuvered Captain America, a known tactical genius and Iron Man Tony Star, the most media-savvy Avenger. Cyclops managed to win a battle of the hearts and mind of the viewers watching his stand off.I still hate Cyclops though. I really hope he gets what's coming to him soon. I hope someone will wipe the self-satisfied smirk of his murderous face.I don't understand how Marvel packaged this collection. While five issues is a good size for a arc, the fifth issue in this trade is by Frazier Irving whose art doesn't exactly matches well with Chris Bachalo who did the first four. Irving's arc is actually three issues and I think it would have been better to include all three in one trade. less
