Uncanny X-Men #11 Preview

[Sam Robards, Comic Fan]

He sees yellow

Didn't that get retconned out in X-Men Blue? I wanna say it was in one of the early Tyke/Bloodstorm scenes.

Either way, I'm liking the preview and loving seeing Cyke back in action. I'm glad Uncanny's still gonna be running during Age of X-Man because I'm skipping the $&%^ outta that mess.

It's just ok.

The faces and body proportions are off. People complain about Land's copy/paste, but this is just as bad and colors never worked for me they were so...dusty

it might work for trading cards, but not when you're reading several issues.

Say what you will about Land, but I find that his art holds a certain charm.

He also said on champions that he saw everything on red.

I actually like Land he has some nice details in his work and at least he can show expression in the faces he draws. I'd take him over the Dodson's any day.

the coloring does look ugly and way too saturated. The blue parts look burnt. Maybe because its in CMYK?

Rosenberg's doing a little Q&A on Twitter. There are some Uncanny tidbits, like the NM apparently not wearing their old uniforms during War of Realms (except for the covers), Phoenix Resurrection playing a big role in the Uncanny ongoing and #17 being the "most soap opera he ever wrote". That's the first june issue, if it keeps the biweekly schedule. I'm actually curious.

I haven't read this entire thread, so I apologize if I'm inadvertently repeating something someone already said. But I LOVE those preview pages. They represent what I expect from, what I like about the X-MEN franchise. The first 10 issues of this revived UNCANNY X-MEN have been such a disappointment. And we don't need another "Age of ...." alternate universe. Even though some of those books look interesting, and I hope Magneto is done justice in his book, and Polaris is portrayed well in hers.

But those preview pages look like the UNCANNY X-MEN I want. Human interaction, emotions, intelligence, necessary action, continuity respected, characters fleshed out and three-dimensional, the fantastical grounded in cause-and-effect reality. Not all of our favorite characters have to be there all the time. I am very stoked for UNCANNY #11. This truly begins the JDW era.

And Cyke is back. There are no X-Men without Scott Summers.

Oh his faces show expression alright.

I feel like the past ten issues would have worked vm better on a biweekly schedule. Weekly just made it feel rushed.

But that's part of Land's charm! It's so obviously stolen from various porn and other referneces, yet he manages to create his own style on it.

Plus, he seems to be able to create a god work ethic out of it.

The thing Land did with Colossus' hands vibrating from Banshee's scream was a detail that was really really good.

There's a cheeky aesthetic that makes you not take things so seriously.

So this actually picks up from Uncanny X-men annual #1.
