I have no idea what this series is trying to be anymore. It feels like it has become a holding area for characters that aren't fitting in the rest of the Marvel universe (be those new mutants or somewhat familiar faces). That's really a shame because the stars of the series could make for a really compelling storyline, but instead all we get are rehashed moments and bits of other stories tied up here.
2.5 I do not love the style of drawing in the past few volumes.
I'm giving this four stars because of the Magneto story inside, which can be read as a prequel of his solo series (that run, by the way, is fantastic). The rest of the stories are mostly one-shots -- interesting ones, but not exceptional. There's a girls-gone-shopping issue, interrupted by Terrigenesis; fairly good.
I felt this was the weakest entry of this series yet. There is lot of back and forth dialogue, but not a ton actually happens to move the plot forward.
This volume mentions a lot of goings on in the wider Marvel universe, but doesn't give any real context to how or why this matters for the Uncanny X-men. For example, a random Inhuman manifests its powers and then disappears. The original X-men also join forces with the Uncanny, for safety, but it doesn't really say safety from what.
The final part of this graphic novel also has the weirdest and hardest to read format I have seen. They aren't panels, but instead separated by zig zag lines!!!!
I was hoping by volume 3 the Uncanny X-men would have been making some progress either in healing their powers, actually tracking down their sentinel stalker, or just pushing the revolution forward, but the actual plot has just been creeping along...
Overall this one was only ok.

Fizzled a bit at the end, there. Oh well. Interesting series, still. Will continue reading, once I can get the next book from library.
Not the strongest story in this great series. Volume is really a stage setter for what is to come.

Okay, so they just added more weirdness to the mix. Somehow the old 'All-New' x-men have joined the current X-Men in this story line. Kitty got out of the bullet hurling through space (I knew she was in it, but apparently she got out and I need to find that particular volume) and has a mini showdown with the Uncanny jerk Scott Summers. I never really liked Scott to start with, but now I just want to punch him. And then the new-old x-men are somehow stolen away...ugh it's a headache.
Think I'm done trying with this series...

Average. I liked the art towards the end of the book. Seemed like no real direction story wise.
