    Uncanny X-Men #529 Review

      

      The five lights storyline in Uncanny is over and I could not be more excited. this story has become much too formulatic for my taste.

Hopefully Uncanny gets better for the next arc.

From that new mutants "primal narrative" to Fantomex's subtle "hypnosis" on Madison Jefferies to Emma Frost's characteristically-prissy ennui, the exchanges in this are almost like helpings of a juicy steak you just can't resist chewing on. Actually, it was his characterization of Fantomex that won me over the most....
