The true flagship X-Men series returns...NOW! In the wake of the Phoenix event, the world has changed and is torn on exactly what Cyclops and his team of outlaw X-Men are - visionary revolutionaries or dangerous terrorists? Whatever the truth, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto, and Magik are out in the world gathering new mutants and redefining the name Uncanny X-Men. But the challenges that they must overcome are fierce: once again, robotic Sentinels hunt the team and the mutants they protect...but when you find out who's doing the hunting, your jaw will drop! And if that's not enough, there's a mole on Cyclops' team - but who is it? Blockbuster creators Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo revamp the X-Men concept and turn everything you take for granted on its head!

Following the Avengers vs. X-men event, Uncanny X-men shows Xavier-murderer Cyclops going around the world with his team of outcast X-men to recruit the waves of new, young mutants. Some aspects of this story worked, including the fighting of the law, the new characters having realistic characterisations and the art style overall. The second half which became a self-contained story not on the outside world, and the double/triple(?) crossing of some characters just made things a bit confused, and reduced this first volume's overall flow. I would've thought a series like this would be a good chance to really dig into these character's thoughts and views, especially when they're not villains but not exactly heroes anymore either, but only hints of this were seen. Basically a decent read if you are following the overall Marvel story.
GUYS I need to read whatever comics where Cyclops actually killed Xavier because I have read like 500 comics where people are mad about it and not seen the actual event?
OH WELL I liked this well enough. I like the new students, and I almost always like the ~political~ X-Men storylines.
