I just hope Rosenberg's run (and his poor character development and shock value killings) will be retconned out as soon as he leaves. Basically, I hope he gets Morrisoned. Badly. So bad that people will stop talking about Morrison's run being retconned out and use Rosenberg as the very prime example of a run being buldozed, leveled and the ground being salted.
Rosenberg's UXM is good
He made everyone who is not Scott or Alex seem shrewd and unlikable. Turned Jamie Madrox into a one-dimentional multipurpose plot device. Turned Karma into an irredeemable monster. Killed two beloved and one well-liked character for sheer shock factor. Even Fraction had sense not to urinate all over what came before him.
Could we be making a mistake assuming that the death happens in Uncanny proper? Something bad is supposed to happen to Rahne in the WotR mini, IIRC. Might be weird if she has a funeral before we read her death, but I wouldn't put it past them.
I don't hate what he's done, but the execution has been...well, he clearly has a great story going on behind the scenes, but a lot of times things just feel badly planned.
Yes, Rosenberg story is rich except that I hate that everything seems to go off-panel i.e. compressed to a few issues. eg. Morlocks were dead before any action, the cure of New Mutants were not shown, fight with MLF were limited to a few panels, how Loa was killed off-panel
He's the opposite of other writers whose story is thin (eg. disassembled) and overstretched to many boring filler issues.
