Not only does he swipe and trace but he's incapable of drawing faces properly. I've cancelled my order for Uncanny, I'll consider ordering it again when they get rid of Land.

I don't think the books quite there yet, but this issue is a very good start and accessible to many x-fans who haven't followed the books(except astonishing,thats to popular not to be followed by most x-fans)since morrisson. P.S. the alex ross cover is soooo sweet!!!
