Now that you’ve checked out our review of Uncanny X-Men #1 (you have read it, right?) and also perhaps our interview with Kieron Gillen and our new column comparing Gillen’s Uncanny X-Men #1 to the original X-Men #1, we think you deserve a look at Uncanny X-Men #2. Pat yourselves on the back!
The second issue finds the X-Men going up against the returned Mr. Sinister in his new land of fun and games, where it’s all Sinister all the time. Written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Carlos Pacheco, the book is set for release at the end of November. If you loved Uncanny X-Men #1 as much as we did (and you should’ve), you’re going to love Uncanny X-Men #2.
Check after the jump for the official press release from Marvel as well as a 3-page unlettered preview.
