Uncanny X-Men 1: Revolution

What really stood out to me about this issue was the great characterizations and dialogue. The story itself moved at a bit of a slow pace, but the depth of the characters and the conflicts they faced with one another really got the story going! This story introduces to the X-Men en medias res -- in the middle of the action -- but still manages to work as a jumping off point! Don't get me wrong, I'm curious about what has been happening in Schism and Avengers versus X-Men and will certainly read them whenever I get the chance (and the funds, haha), but I didn't need to have read them to understand what was going on here. We are confronted with a Cyclops that is complex, nuanced, and morally grey for the first time in the X-Man canon, and the character Magik is pretty exceptional as well. The dialogue is snappy and thoughtful, making this book a truly immersive read! This was worth the money, and I'm excited to read the next volume. Well done, Bendis!

As a fan of the X-Men this book gets them back to their roots of being outlaws that no matter what they do they will be perceived as such. The fact that they chose Cyclops to lead this rogue team is interesting. He has always been the straight & narrow kind of character while Wolverine has been the hot head. I like this new Cyclops & I'm glad to see that the relationship with Frost is over with. Which makes her very vulnerable, something we do not see that often. Of course my favorite character Magik is there kicking butt so that makes it a big plus. The only complaint I do have is the art work, not a big fan of the artist but other than that its a good graphic. The new characters look like they can some potential as well.

Cyclops, Magento, and Emma Frost like we have never seen them before.Revolution!Cyclops has long been the leader of the X-Men and now, after the events of AvX and the death of Charles Xavier by his own, Phoenix possessed, hand, he has come to see the world in a new light. Prejudice against mutant kind is once more rampant with the arrival of the first of the new mutants. Cyclops, no longer believing in the approach to the problem he learned from Charles Xavier, is recruiting for his new mutants revolution, while he and his generals struggle to maintain their fluctuating powers.A post Phoenix possessed Cyclops, a de-powered Emma Frost, and Magneto as a double agent make this run the ultimate must read for fans of the X-Men. Along with some new mutants like Tempus, who can stop time, and Triage the new mutant healer, the new Xavier Institute looks to be shaping up nicely.

I recommend you get the other volume 1 that collects #1-11 and #14-18.There is one that is smaller and shorter hardcover, but the other is an oversized hardcover edition that you can fully appreciate the art.Check out the pics.The story, read in tandem with All-new x men is smashing. I loved what Bendis does with the teams at this point and the different point of views during the same events if you read both series in tandem.It's really cool.Unfortunately, it later succumbs to event fatigue... friggen Marvel. If they could only get out of their own way.

I love this story so far. Great cast of characters. Magneto and cyclops both have awesome new costumes as well!

This was a good read and an they did a good job intersecting this book with the "All New X-Men". I am starting to enjoy Illyana's character more as the story goes on as she was never really my favorite. I really like Cyclops' new costume as well.

Good read

I'm more of a fan of 90's Jim Lee and Chris Claremont. This picks up where the events of X-Men v. Avengers ends. I think theres some good stuff her, but Bendis makes the X-men a little too much like the Avengers for my taste. It's not a bad series, but the X-Men plot is just too diluted to follow.

Such a great start of this volume ! No wonders, the talented writer bendis is involved in this! You should definitely read all new X-Men since the two series meet from times to times and each series show a different interaction of those meeting

Very happy Marvel fan

"I'm worried that our teachers have more problems than we do" fürchtet Eva Bell aka Tempus ganz zu Recht, als sie gemeinsam mit anderen Jungmutanten von Cyclops gerettet wird.Nie war die Situation der Mutanten im Allgemeinen und die der X-Men im besonderen weniger hoffnungsfroh als nach nach Dark Phoenix und dem Tod von Professor Xavier: Cyclops wird von der Polizei als Mörder gesucht und die öffentliche Meinung ist Mutanten gegenüber äußerst kritisch. Irgendwer kocht sein eigenes Süppchen und hat Sentinels aktiviert und auf die X-Men angesetzt und Cyclops muss sich fragen, wer in seinem verbliebenen Team ein Maulwurf ist.Das ehemalige Team der X-Men ist gespalten und die neuen Gruppierungen stehen sich feindlich gegenüber. Während Wolverine und Kitty Pryde die Jean Grey School for Higher Learning eröffnet haben und dort eine beträchtliche Anzahl nachwachsender Talente um sich scharen konnten, rekrutiert Cyclops junge Mutanten in seiner New Xavier School for the Gifted. Untergebracht werden seine Schüler aber nicht mehr in einem viktorianischen Prachtbau wie einst unter Professor X, sondern in einer unterirdischen Anlage, und sowohl die Situation als auch das Umfeld wirken düster und bedrückend.Brian Michael Bendis hat im X-Men Universum die Kerze von beiden Seiten angezündet und fast zeitgleich zu den 2012 von ihm geschriebenen All-New X-Men die Uncanny X-Men als neue Marvel Now!-Serie gestartet.Während bei den All-New X-Men der Focus auf der Gruppe der Mutanten der Jean Grey School und dem aus der Vergangenheit in die Gegenwart transportierten klassischen ersten X-Team liegt, erzählt Uncanny X-Men die Story mit dem Fokus auf Cyclops weiter. Aber es gibt Berührungspunkte zwischen den beiden Reihen, zum Beispiel die Szene, als Cyclops an der Jean Grey School auftaucht, um dort Mutanten abzuwerben. Bendis erzählt dieses unerhörte Vorkommnis sowohl bei den All-New X-Men als auch bei den Uncanny X-Men, aber die Perspektive ist gegensätzlich.Düster und konfliktgeladen überzeugt mich auch Bendis Uncanny X-Men Reihe sehr, und ihm und Marvel ist ein kluger Schachzug gelungen mit den parallel erscheinenden Reihen, denn daraus ergibt sich viel erzählerisches Potential.Die Artwork der Uncanny X-Men stammt aus den Federn von Chris Bachalo und Frazer Irving. Bachalos Zeichnungen machen den Hauptteil aus und sind an die Mangas angelehnt. Viele Panels sind sehr ausdrucksstark und cool, in Vergrößerung würden sie auch als Poster "hängenswürdig" sein. Andererseits wirken andere Zeichnungen wieder hingepfuscht und extrem detailarm.

Good story and artwork - solid work.Not worth a 5 star rating but a good read.I'd give 4 stars for a big part of the book, but not overall.Expect 3 star entertainment and be positively surprised.

Really like the storyline Bendis at his best, i fall in love with the art of Bachalo but Irving mehhh not for me ruin theses last few pages but still a good run
