So figured I'd go back to read all the stuff I missed in the days I couldn't afford comics ( I love you marvel unlimited) and now it's Ed Brubaker's run on Uncanny X-Men!

So the X-Men are going off to space. Sounds cool, right? We got Xavier, Nightcrawler, and basically a bunch of C-lister x-men characters. We also have Vulcan going after the Shi'ar empire and trying to destroy it. It's basically one big race to reach the empire to stop/prevent full on destruction, with a lot of drama inbtween. So basically X-Men in space!

Good: I liked some of the character's interactions. Mostly anything with James. While he's my least favorite character in X-Force, he's one of the best here. Also there's some great fight scenes, especially with Nightcrawler.

Bad: The art can be a bit too broody or dark for it's own good. I also thought the storyline was stretched to long and by part 9 I was starting to get bored. I also think far too many characters that people unfamiliar with X-men won't enjoy this.

SO overall it was not horrible, but not great. I'd probably go with a 2.5 overall.
