I thought it was great. I liked the what's real/not real moments, which makes sense with two powerful telepaths and a shapeshifter attacking you. Christopher's development is interesting, as Bendis continues to play with standard powers and then make them a little more interesting, just like he did with Tempus and Deeds.
I'm open to Bendis trying to re-build and rehabilitate the Brotherhood from Aaron's BOTA mess, but he obviously still has a lot of work to do.
It was alright.
I was REALLY hoping that they were gonna kill off triage.
Definitely not a fan of all this brother Mystique crap. Bendis better hope he has a master stroke to make this work, because right now its pretty facepalm worthy.
Don't let the title confuse you, this was 100% an Uncanny issue. Im pretty sure their cast says more, does more and are the only ones not incapacitated at the end, which means they get to play hero next issue too.
Oh, man. LOL at CuBeast having already embraced Dudebro Jealousy. LOLOLOL at Prof K being pissed at Tyke choosing his deadbeat dad over her. Good stuff.
Honorable mention to Emma casually for punching Jeen, I guess. Oh, and Raze, too. The guy's annoying as all hell, but you gotta give him props for putting Mystique out of her misery.
So wait. Mystique is dead? Raze has been Mystique this whole time?
So did I miss out on the Xavier and Mystique relationship? Can someone fill me in on a timeline for their relationship or is that going to be explained later?
I liked this issue a lot. A lot happened but it flowed pretty well and was easy to follow the moving pieces. I know a lot of people hate on Bendis' work with the X-men, but I have enjoyed it a lot so far.

Pretty good chapter. I hope they explore more of that delicious Molly Hayes. Why she joined the Brotherhood. I remember she first met Beast on Uncanny X-Men The Heroic Age.
But yeah, what the hell is up with Xavier and Mystique?? :O
triage is even awesome now he can heal himself from death
So, Xorna-Jean gets to take out the Cuckoos (and says she enjoyed it), and Emma gets to take out teen-Jean (Scott says she wanted an excuse). The Emma/Jean thing is already old. They need to move on to something else.
I do wonder though, if this Xorna is the same one from the last event, or a Xorn from an earlier time in the future. It could go either way. We never saw a Xorn body, we don't know that she couldn't reconstitute herself, but that doesn't explain the others. Could they all still be future versions of themselves? If you kill someone from the future, that only kills the version of them beyond that age. Or whatever.
I'm still wondering where the rest of the Brotherhood was during "No More Humans".
