Few comics have been relaunched as often over the past few years as Uncanny X-Men. At least this new incarnation of the series is significantly different from the ones that preceded it. The new Uncanny X-Men is essentially X-Force in all but name. It features a darker, more violent tone and a cast of morally ambiguous mutant characters. But at this early stage, the book is intriguing more because of its potential than what it actually offers in issue #1.
Like pretty much every X-Force book, the basic premise behind Uncanny X-Men is that a new team has been assembled to proactively deal with growing threats to the mutant race. That includes the ongoing danger of the Terrigen Mists and various foes who seek to exploit them for their own gain. The cast is easily the biggest draw. Whereas too many team books in this All-New Marvel relaunch seem like the characters were chosen completely at random, each member of Uncanny X-Men is linked by a propensity for violence and a struggle to leave the demons of the past behind. There's a lot of potential with this new group, which makes it unfortunate that the plot in issue #1 is a mostly by-the-numbers affair. We see the new team in action and get a glimpse of the challenges awaiting them, but that's about it.
