Renaldo's Reviews: Uncanny X-Men #6, Winter Soldier #1 and Defenders #3

Uncanny X-Men # 6 –
Gillen’s plot and dialogue is indeed spot on here. There’s mass hysteria, chaos yet it’s subliminally cohesive the tale that unwinds. He weaves intricate threads of the extinction team battling a new ecosystem that is attached to fallout from X-Force…and with Greg Land delivering the goods, this book offers many surprises. If not taken seriously, this title would pass under the radar, due in part to Gillen’s shoddy renumbering of the title, but this arc post-Sinister, while not nefarious is an exploratory piece of magic.

Review: Defenders #2

defen2
I like Oback's colors but the Dodsons' art never sat well with me, bar Millar's TROUBLE. They're too cute for something as crass, destructively elegant and something filled with a raw endurance of badass attitude that I think Fraction wants in this book. Sorry, but for him to cleave this attitude and transfer it to me, I think he needs something more like Kirkham or Silvestri.


The plot here isn't bad, despite shoddy art, and Fraction redeems himself a bit, but it's still below what I think he can deliver.
