Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2
review 1: The xmen go on a rescue mission to an enclosed habitat that has evolved over 60 million years in minutes. They then have to fight various baddies from a prison break. This is a decent plot but the first story kind of assumes that you've read uncanny xforce, indeed Magneto knew more backstory than the reader and he wasn't even in that comic. Apart from that it was an ok storyline. The prison break was a lot more fun, and I suspect will have ramifications in the long run. Character wise, Frost and Namor get more interesting. A good read.
review 2: So Colossus is now becoming the Juggernaut!? Emma lost her arm!? Betsy should be dead forever (personal hate that they brought that dumb B back)!Not sure what's going on in the past but this stuff that KG is writing is
... morehorrible. I am trying hard to like it but the story seems overused. X-Men show up on this new island that appeared and it's attacking them, splitting them up and finding out their good guys also. It's nothing but a ton of alien type stories (Breakworld, Negative Zone, etc) and I didn't even read most of it. It's too predictable with hardly any real action. The art is great by Land but the story lacks every luster they put on those glossy little pages. less

Not as good as the first volume, but the dialog is still great and Namor had me laughing every page.
