Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1: Revolution by Brian Michael Bendis
2.0

I didn't like this as much as All New X-Men. I have my reasons, but let's talk about the good.

I like seeing Scott internally battle with his choice. I think Scott is usually a boring character so this twist on him makes him exciting to read again. I also enjoyed the Avengers showdown here, it kept interesting. The new X-Men are decent too...kind of.

Now the bad. The art. It looks really...weird? Like sometimes great, other times crappy, I just never really enjoyed it all that much. Oh and the last issue feels so meh I can't even begin to describe it. Basically it centers on Magik which isn't bad, but my oh my it felt like total filler. We'll see where it leads but I thought it was crappy. Also one issue here is basically already done in All New X-Men except has some different points of view, still meh to have basically same events.

Overall it's not horrible, I'd probably go with a 2-2.5. But it's not nearly as fun as All New X-Men Volume 1-2. So We'll see with volume 2 here.
