Views on Joe Casey's Uncanny run

[Prodigy55]

Didn't like the costumes, but the rest was great.

I think it would have been better accepted if Casey didn't get stuck with Churchill for the first arc. If Sean Phillips had been the artist for his full run, I would have been a lot happier.

Also, I never for the life of me thought I would see Eddie Campbell on an X-story, which was a welcome surprise.

Um.... Ok. Can I be so bold as to ask why?

Mental illness.

It was pretty good for the most part, and got really good by the end of it. Unfortunately it was much more understated than New X-Men was, many people found it difficult to get into. Ashley Wood being such a prominent part of #400 didn't do Casey and favors, and the X-Corps story didn't improve sales. After that point, when re-teamed with his Wildcats volume 2 artist Sean Phillips, the book got really good and subversive, but it seemed that Marvel had already made up it's mind to replace him with Chuck Austen, who would become the worst writer of the decade.

Iceman and Stacy X's costume's were smashing.

[Mechano]

I was really hoping that Stacey X and Nightcrawler would get together... but that is a discussion for a Chuck Austen thread.

LEt's see:

- The Art
- Stacy X
- British Morlocks' killer dude with a flamethrower
- Stupid Story
- The ruining of Uncanny 400
- The destruction of Banshee as a character

And so many many more stupidity that came from those issues. Still like I said, I preferred that pointless dribble to the crap that was happening in X-Men :D

At least you're consistent.

[Deus ex Chris]

At least you're consistent.

That's the truth.

Anyway, Joe Casey's run is definitely one of my favorites. Once they paired him with Sean Phillips, everything was gravy. He found his stride and his artist, and then he left the book with his artist. Sadness.

I thought Phillips hung around for some of the Austen goodness?

He drew Austen's best issues, but he was working on Wildcats 3.0 with Casey around the same time.

He didn't work with Casey on 3.0. He did work with him on 2.0, but I think that was before his X-Men issues.

Well, my recollection is clearly not great. It was a long time ago, and I'm getting old. More sadness.

It happens to the best of us. I'm thinking that he may have been starting on Sleeper around that time, but my memory isn't what it used to be, either.

[Stryfe]

I remember his run provoking a lot of undeserved outrage but I forget what particularly it was for.

Exactly what I was thinking, with phillips starting on art the book would have definitely looked better and we might have got better costumes designs. Quietly designed some cool costumes that uncanny could have built off of but instead we get warren in a jumpsuit with random tubes all over it. I think with churchill fans might have thought uncanny was just continuing with the same things it was doing in the 90's, especially since he has that generic image clone style that was popular on the x-men in the late 90's.
