This review is from: Uncanny X-Men Volume 6: Bright New Mourning TPB (Paperback)

After She Flies with Angels broke up the continuity of this series this entry seems confusing. I also hate the fact that I'm going to have to hunt down the destruction of NY and the death of Magneto to truly understand this entry. That said the storyline and art are extremely solid in this collection. good to round out the collection.

This review is from: Uncanny X-Men Volume 6: Bright New Mourning TPB (Paperback)

With Grant Morrison's prolific run on New X-Men nothing more than a memory, this TPB takes place after the cataclysmic events in his Planet X and Here Comes Tomorrow arcs (both books you're better off picking up than this). With Magneto dead (yeah right), New York City in ruins, and the mansion in shambles; the X-Men re-group to pick up the pieces. Bright New Mourning manages to bridge the gap between the events of the aforementioned stories and Marvel's recent X-Men:ReLoad event, but the book is hurt badly by some atrocious dialogue and weak storytelling, courtesy of longtime, and long criticized, Uncanny X-Men scribe Chuck Austen. It's only saving grace is the art of Salvador Larroca, which was also the only saving grace of the previous Uncanny X-Men arc, She Lies With Angels. It's worth checking out if you missed these issues, but other than that this is best left on the shelf.
