Posted on January 5, 2012 by jmiddle3

By Matt Fraction (writer), Terry & Rachel Dodson (artists), Sonia Oback (colorist) The Story: Dr. Strange gets a new nickname.

Posted on August 12, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Utopia has been pretty weak so far. While it hasn’t been awful, it certainly feels like it’s getting in the way of better things. Dark Avengers was on a roll prior to Utopia, and Uncanny X-Men [...]

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Uncanny X-Men and Dark Avengers crossover, Utopia, got off to an unremarkable start.

Posted on December 20, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While a bit scattershot, I really enjoyed the first chapter of Matt Fraction’s new Uncanny arc.

Posted on November 22, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Since hitting the big #500, Uncanny X-Men has been extremely hit or miss.
