MMX happens after X-Men Red, or at least issue six will. That's set to explain why Rogue and Gambit aren't in Uncanny.
Havok and Colossus are still on planet, alive, and known to be X-Men.
"We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey
it was good, actually.

I think the bigger difficulty with Disassembled is that, sice the franchise lacked a direction in the last year or so, the first issue had to create a problem and make us feel like it mattered. Messiah Complex, Second Coming, BotA and even IvX, for example, came as consequence of certain status quo that we already knew as an imminent problem.
I think that after this first issue, where the plot was put in motion and we already know there is some kind of problem, things might run more smoothly. I hope people don't go too hard on this event, it is hard to set a whole big situation in the same story that is supposed to deal with it.
it doesn’t matter. Karma was presumed dead and written as such. When she was revealed to be alive, it took 6 issues over several months. I won’t disagree that it was better written but it’s false to say that Jean’s would have only been handled in 2 issues of CC. He wrote “drawn out” returns too
We still don’t know why Jean was brought back - if the Phoenix wanted to bond with her, why did it let her remain alive after she rejected it?
Yeah, sure, but that doesn’t answer my question does it? It brought her back under its power, why should it have simply left if she rejected it? Why not just put her in the WHR until she’s ready to play ball? I just hope there’s something up Marvel’s sleeve regarding this, I don’t think that’s unreasonable considering Wolverine’s bloated return and the renewed focus on the X-books.
