An ­X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, this issue continues the red-hot storyline that has fans and critics alike buzzing!

Steven M. Bari of ComicsBulletin.Com gushed, “Salivate over Mike Choi’s art. His work isn’t just perfect anatomically and thematically. It’s sexy!”

“Ed Brubaker is obviously having a lot of fun with his latest Uncanny X-Men arc. I’m glad to say I am too,” said Jesse Schedeen of IGN.Com.
