Damn I was glued to the pages reading this one. Uncanny X-Men came from meh (Gave volume 1-2 2 stars) to this. A epic, big, scary, nail biting adventure. So our Omega Level Mutant is OUT OF CONTROL. Scott decides to try and help the young man but in the end wants to use his powers to top off this mutant revolution.

The volume mostly are conversations and arguments. This might not be enough for some. However, when the fights happen it's pretty goddamn epic. So with the time ticking down, every trick they can think of, the Omega Level mutant murdering people at the same time, will the X-Men be able to save the world?

What I liked: The art is pretty great in this. The big attacks/explosion events are fucking stunning. Also loved cyclops and Magneto arguing. It felt so chilly in there I got the shakes. The Omega Level mutant is just sad as hell...I feel bad for his situation. The ending I can see some saying it's a cop out but man oh man, the risk taken there, and the very end are heart breaking.

What I didn't like: There's one moment where shield does something and it feels very odd that no one reacted quick enough. It just stuck with me. Also as much as I DO love the art sometimes there are facial expressions that are just...ugly? Or off?

Overall this two part arc was stunning for me. Some of my favorite in X-Men that I've read. Volume 4-5 tell a complete story and the Omega Level threat brought the hype and motivation to build this series up some.
