Uncanny X-Men #515
 

Four scans from Uncanny X-Men #515, in which Greg Land mostly manages to not obstruct the story.

While awaiting Land's hopefully-soon reassignment elsewhere, the best to hope for is that his work is reasonably easy to skim over without any particularly grotesque imagest to draw your attention.  This issue is surprisingly muted, I must say.

Anyway, as the new microstate of Utopia gets up and running, and Psylocke checks in on another member of the Science Team:



Psylocke interrupts a council of various senior X-Men (Cyclops, Emma Frost, Storm, Professor X, Namor) and Iceman to tell them about his death.



As Cyclops leaves for a meeting with the mayor, Professor X notes that he wasn't at his most empathetic; Cyclops is really stressed and says that empathy is at a premium at the moment.



Later...



Fraction writes a really good Beast, and, whenever things aren't getting too cluttered with characters, he can do some pretty good work here.

It just seems like a horribly dull, overstretched gimmick without any real depth. There's barely any merit to it other than to have gratuitous cheesecake. I'd much prefer she returned to her original body, not because of any nostalgic fondness I have for it - it's just that anything would be an improvement over her current incarnation!

It would probably also help to update her costume from the usual Elektra ripoff.

In other words, you don't like that she was (in your opinion) badly written. Fair enough. I just don't think putting her in her old body would necessarily change her characterization.
