Uncanny X-Men: Divided We Stand
by Ed Brubaker, Mike Choi
So...I finally found a comic/run by Brubaker I just did NOT like. I never knew this day would come.
Divided we Stand is basically a mixture of bringing back the old school feel of x-men with a bit of darkness splashed in between. I guess x-men got too dark with Messiah Complex (Which was excellent btw) and so they wanted to go back to more adventure feel of X-Men. In this one we follow Emma and Cyclops trying to figure out a secret plot and alternate reality thing going on. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and more go on their own mission. Dunno why it's called Divided we Stand though...
Good: Some solid interaction moments with Emma and Cyclops. The colorful art is also a positive.
Bad: I thought the storyline was pretty dull and lifeless. The dialog between the villains and heroes is really bad. It feels like Brubaker was just not in to this series and this was his last go at it all.
Overall this was okay. Just like most of Brubaker's x-men stuff it's not horrible but I can't see myself ever revisiting this. A 2 out of 5.
