Uncanny X-Men #503 ReviewLast issue of Uncanny introduced the Red Queen, who apparently is supposed to be a dark Emma Frost or something. This issue has almost nothing to do with that...and that makes me very angry.
We see Cyclops down in the Hellfire Cult's sex basement where the Queen is waiting but because he's Cyclops and an idiot, he thinks its Emma. Way to go.
The issues primary focus however, is to reintroduce Pixie back to the X-squad. These kind of stories are always cool. Unfortunately, Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker do it in the wrong way as new post-Messiah Complex readers have no idea why she left the group in the first place. They did manage to make a teenage girl with fairy wings pretty badass as she stabs her soul dagger in Empaths head.
The issue ends with Cyclops saying to Emma he thinks his dead wife, Madeline Pryor is alive. Who is that? Is she that Red Queen lady? All I really want are some questions answered in my comic books but that's evidently not happening so I'd better just save my money. Yeah right...comics are too fun but this issue wasn't.
3/5 stars
