    Pacheco makes some odd choices beyond that, such as the attire of Kate Kildare (who is dressed more for turning tricks than public relations).
    Okay, wow.

    Unfortunately, this issue doesn't do much to wrap up all of the loose ends that may have been dangling from Gillen's run or even from the event crossove
    Heresy

    All in all, this issue ends the series with a shrug and low grunt instead of a celebration or a shock ending
    Blasphemy

    Where has it been made clear that Sinister would face the Uncanny Avengers? If so, I'd imagine much trolling on Alex in that confrontation.

    Both CBR and Newsarama have been pretty lukewarm to Gillen's UXM which is quite tragic considering they've been praising WatXM to high hell every issue.

    that's probably bc they are getting paid to praise that book and trash uncanny.

    Please. I never claimed anyone was getting paid to sabotage UXM. I merely said the Marvel hype machine bet on WatXM. And then laughed at WatXM's failure to dethrone UXM in the charts.

    I don't have an issue with the review. I suspect the reviewer expected more from the Xmen flagship title. But as was mentioned, this series ends but the story continues. So in a nutshell, the ending was ok but could have been better.

    I'm not saying that this review isn't sexist idiocy. Because it is.

    But (Ms.) Sinister does enjoy Hellfire Club-esque skimpiness. He's all about the 19th century stockings-and-garters kitsch.

    lol who takes CBR reviews seriously? They are always crap regardless of the comic.

    They gave AVX VS #1 5 stars out of 5 remember?
