“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

ermmm what the hell!
lol
i have never seen that cover before and who are these new people??? new villains i supposse, they may have potential bout time theres some new recurring villans instead of recycled old ones.
Didn't even know uncanny was coming out this week lol
@Psychilde - My sentiments exactly! Looks like some mutant is being assaulted by a posse of new villains. All I am interested in is Betsy's role in the upcoming arc.
centurion
Ha ha. I like "Bouncing Betty: named Betty, bounces"
The villain is Scalphunter, a former member of the Marauders who has a non-agression pact with the X-men. This Lobe guy looks interesting. Can't wait to read it.
C'mon Centurion. You must be interested in some other character besides Betsy. How about Beast? Or Anole? That Anole's kind of fun, don't you think?
i like the art but fraction's stories are so dumb. lol @ those fail villains. Bouncing Betty. Naked Sunlight Girl. Can't wait until he gets fired and they hire someone else. Chris Yost for Uncanny!
I'm glad they stuck that slut in her diamond form for good. Now TRUE powerful telepaths can get some attention.
@Adam - Yes, of course I am, but Betsy is one my favorites ;)
best,
centurion
@Adam - I guess what is going on with Betsy is more important to me :)
I think the inker works well with Land's art. Tones it down a bit.
I'm already spotting like a dozen swipes in Lands pencils.
And only in the first five pages! Amazing...
Wow... I like Fraction's stories in general, but these new villains really suck. "Thug"? "Bouncing Betty"? WTF, can we create more generic or stupid names than these???
And when I first saw these pages, I thought the woman in the black slutty dress was the Red Queen... Actually, I'd prefer if she were indeed the Red Queen with a new Brotherhood; it would make more sense than a group of unknowns appearing out of nowhere and that will probably be sent to the editorial limbo once this arc is over.
Oh well, I hope the rest of the issue is better than these first pages and focuses in the X-Men's current situation. And although I'd love Betsy to be a central part in it, I guess Namor, Beast, Xavier and Emma are the ones who need to be developed in their current situations.
