onefinemess | June 10, 2010

Uncanny X-Men 525 continues to do exactly what you’d expect it to.  Hope throws a tantrum that may spell bad things, not to mention foreshadows a connection to Cyclops (or tosses out a ruby herring – Cyclophoenix??).  Other than the tantrum, nothing much happened here – lots of threads were pushed along, but none got [...]
