Welcome to Chibistomb's UTOPIA PART FOUR REVEIW! YAY! WE KNOW NOTHING ELSE GETE REVEIWED! WHHHHHOOOO!
Ever Since Birds of Prey Died, Uncanny is my default Yay book. Deal with it, please.
Anyway, on to the reveiw. Uncanny #514 is a fairly so-so issue. It take the story where you wholly expect it to go, has good, not Land, not phenomenal artwork, and the same level of characterization and dialouge. In those terms, it's nothing special.
What is special though, is Matt Fraction's attempts to make it so, which rate so high on the fail-meter you actually do laugh.
A majority of the issue...is um...well...okay, so you know how some stuff sounds good in your head but not in real life? Um....from now on that will be reffered to as "Uncanny 514".
First of all, it you do not get the following joke, please wikipedia "Stepford Cuckoos" and come back. Oh, and as a side note, the Spice Girls movie was on last night.
Scott Summers proves he is a pig on the next page. It's not enough to be in
bed with thier semi-mother, he has to have the kids too.
We both know who's gonna end up arrested here, Cyke.
For you regular Chibistomb Readers, Emma Frost does not dissapoint and continiues with her playground Supervisor Routine. Only LEVEL UP!
She now has a bunch of playground supervisor lackey/sidekicks!
+300 Scott Pilgrim experience Points for Bullseye's "You Serious?"
Meanwhile, Scott is prepping his squads up at HQ, HQ in San Fransisco, where it's um...snowing.
No, Pixie, the crazy army of Canadian Beavers we sold to Norman Osborn brought their snow, and are chewing through your foundations as we speak.
If you haven't had enough yet, Fraction just had his New X-Men Omnibus Edition ship in. he's been reading it all day. It shows.
If you do not get that joke, you have obviously never heard of Emma Frost. Please google "Emma Frost's Quotes". After which, we can agree that Greg Land just like to pay homage to over twelve pornstars.
This scan actually isn't from one of those romantic girl-meets-bad boy forbidden love indies (who reads those? :))
It's Cloak and Dagger, Talking about how they're in this (the war, dammit, not the subspace cloak) to the end. Yes. That's what was said. It's bad enough you have to be in the man's chest, Dagger, but we know it's not your fault you both suddenly remind me of the latest mud Disney is trying to call a movie.
So no, Matt Fraction, you don't get a gold star. But you are perfectly welcome to a shiny green or blue one. Emma wanted all the silver ones for her sidekicks, and I don't call people pervs on the internet, so red is off the table.
Or you can just leave it alone and just be happy you now have a tag, just like Micheal O'Hare, Gail Simone, Nicola Scott, and Tony Bedard.

lol, red stars are for perverts! Because perverts are COMMUNISTS!
I've never read Grant Morrison's New X-Men, but it's probably better than what Fraction is doing right now. Also, I totally borrowed Essential X-Men vol. 3 from the library, and have been reading it. Such a good value! Such a fun read!
You mean the giant black and white newsprint digests? They do have their value, for reading and quick firewood! LOL
