It's once again time for the X-Men to mutate. First, will Juggernaut -- one of the X-Men's toughest foes -- actually join their ranks? Then, as the high-flying Archangel goes through a major physical transformation that affects his powers, he encounters a threat to his family corporation. Finally, the entire roster gets a facelift as international artist Kia Asamiya redesigns their costumes.

X-Men are slumming in this book,
By Blake Petit "Novelist, columnist & reviewer" (Ama, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Uncanny X-Men Volume 2: Dominant Species TPB (Paperback)
As if poor characterization and dull plotting aren't bad enough, with this installment Marvel saddled the X-Men with some truly bad artwork. Kia Asamiya, I understand, is a superstar in Japan, but his style simply does not fit the X-Men. Characters are blocky, noses are pointy and costumes are simply ugly. Archangel goes through a transformation and gains a new "power" that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the character and his sudden, inexplicable attraction to Husk is just weird. That's another of Austen's weaknesses on this title -- every female character seems to serve no other purpose than to pine over one of the male characters. And the mutant "werewolves"? Seen it before. Call me back when a new writer starts bringing this series back up again.

Worse than Draco,
By
This review is from: Uncanny X-Men Volume 2: Dominant Species TPB (Paperback)
Popular opinion says that Draco is Chuck Austens worst Uncanny XMen arc, which is saying alot since his whole run has been terrible. But the truth of the matter, according to me at least, is Dominant Species is his worst. Vaguely defined villains (are they werewolves, are they mutants, both?) take over some office building that Warren Worthington owns. Its really as exciting as the premise makes it out to be. Its terrible. Bad characterization, nonexistant motivation, and poor artwork to further obscure any sense of whats going on (for some reason fog takes the place of backgrounds through most of the arc, which makes even less sense because as i said it takes place in an office building).If you want to read good X-Men stories go read some of Grant Morrison's New X-men books, or go read Essential X-Men 1 and 2. This crap by Chuck Austen gives the X-Men brand a bad name.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Juggernut a good guy? Nice change.,
This review is from: Uncanny X-Men Volume 2: Dominant Species TPB (Paperback)
I like seeing bad guys go good once in awhile. And here it actually makes sense. The story keeps me entertained and although people seem to be going crazy over it I'm enjoying these stories alot. Anyone on to volume 3!
