I just picked up Uncanny X-men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar (written by Ed Brubaker) after having not read X-Men for years, and I'm pretty disappointed. The scattered reviews I read praise him for his writing, but what I found was really childish, cliche and underdeveloped. Meh. Polaris, Lorna, Hepzibah, Lilandra... they all just prance around giggling about having crushes on everyone, or who they want to kiss on the team, or who they just recently kissed in some spaceship corridor. Seriously, fucking yawn.
Vulcan is the most poorly developed and motivated villain I've seen in a while. When he randomly falls in love (yawn again) with Deathbird after a week in space... blegh. Warpath just clamors around acting like an idiot, they should have kept that character on the wayside.
Also, that Shi'ar guy Korvus is like a horrible combination between a Final Fantasy VII character with a giant sword and wolverine.
Someone please tell me one of the other recent X-books are worth reading?
