Astonishing X-Men #45
Something isn't what it seems when Storm and Cyclops go to fight Sentinels. Who has kidnapped them, who are these familiar looking mutants, and why did Storm and Cyclops kiss?
Uncanny X-Men #534
The X-Men have an infectious, killer disease. What could possibly mean enough to make them break quarantine and risk exposing the world? And when that plague cuts them off from their powers, what would be the use of doing so anyway? Cyclops has his answers. You can make up your own mind. Meanwhile, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw finish their physica...
Uncanny X-Men #533
"QUARANTINE" Part 4 (of 5). The public gets what the public wants - and the public wants "X-Men." The Sublime Corporation is here to provide, at a cost. Both financially and for the safety of the entire world. It's the gala product launch that everyone will be talking about. If only the actual X-Men weren't dying of the power-sapping flu on Utopi...

X-Factor #214
The suicide of a high school student triggers X-Factor's most personal case as X-Factor is hired to learn the identities of the bullies who drove the student to take his own life. But once they have the names, do they turn that information over to the authorities...or to the student's angry family, who may well take punishment into their own hands...

X-Factor #213
In the aftermath of the battle with Hela, the team is in upheaval. One member leaves, another arrives. And Rictor and Rahne finally have it out over the identity of her baby's father.
I thought this would bring a unique pov. Instead it was predictable and preachy and not worth it.

Did You Hear About Mimi Green? #1
Tastemaker Mimi Green is a popular essayist with a perfectly curated social media presence—until a blog post she wrote a decade ago, cruelly mocking fat people, resurfaces and sparks a viral furor. Mimi checks into an isolated mental health facility in Topanga to ride out the scandal, but as sound baths and crystal healings by day give way to restl...

X-Men: Legacy #243
"FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION" CONCLUSION! When the X-Men used an engineered virus to defeat Bastion's army of mutant-exterminating Sentinels, they didn't realize it would also compromise one of their own: Karima Shapandar, a.k.a. Omega Sentinel. With her reactivated Sentinel programming taking over, the X-Men find themselves in dire straits...and...
Uncanny X-Men #531
The X-Men on Utopia are getting sicker and sicker and their powers are shutting down one-by-one. Wolverine's healing factor is down and he's suffering adamantium poisoning, but he's much better off than the mutants whose mutation defines their bodies, like Rockslide and Mercury. And if that weren't bad enough, The Collective Man has Chinatown in th...
Definitely reads like the full-in issue it is

Uncanny X-Men #530
"QUARANTINE" Is there anything worse than that slow, sinking, feeling like you're getting sick? You can't get warm. Your bones hurt. Your throat closes and your chest gets too heavy every time you breathe and then you know you're doomed... so what if it happened to all the X-Men, all at once? The Sublime are back and they've unleashed a contagion ...
Uncanny X-Men #529
If "Light #4" registered in Kiev, Ukraine, then why the heck isn't he there? The X-Men race to find the latest of the new mutant activations while things come to a head between Emma Frost and her prisoner Sebastian Shaw! Part 4 (of Four) Rated T ...$3.99
Nest story, but sometimes I couldn’t tell what was happening. Like the Father Box—I couldn’t see what I was supposed to be seeing.

The most dangerous of all? The sarcophagus of the legendary King Sha...
